Loaders / Performance Features
Powerful Hydraulic Performance – Loaders
When it comes to performance, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders are in a class by themselves. Each component – including the engine, pumps and hydraulic system – is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance. For you, that means faster cycle times and better jobsite productivity.
Attachment Integration
Smart hydraulics allow Bobcat machines to identify the attachment and lock out non-required functions (like high flow) to limit damage to attachment and machine.
Some attachments that perform best with high flow will automatically engage high flow in the loader whether the operator pushes the button or not. This ensures the operator is maximizing their performance.
High-Flow Hydraulics
This optional system provides additional hydraulic power to boost production of attachments like the Bobcat flail cutter, trencher, planer and stump grinder. Machines with this option have two flow ranges so attachments that require lower flow can still be used by selecting standard flow mode.
Controls in Your Hands
With Bobcat loaders, you can feel and control the loader’s drive, engine torque and tractive effort – so you can push your machine to the limit without an engine anti-stall system robbing you of power when you need it the most.
Powerful Breakout Forces
High-efficiency hydraulic pumps deliver more power matched to demand and provide better breakout forces.
Faster Cycle Times
Hydraulic pumps in Bobcat loaders are matched to cylinder size and loader lift capacity to provide fast cycle times that help you get the job done faster.
Dual-Direction Bucket Positioning
Optional dual-direction bucket positioning keeps the load at a consistent angle throughout the lift cycle – both up and down – to reduce spilling which increases efficiency and improves ease of operation.
Jobsite Applications
Construction
On construction jobsites, you’ll appreciate the benefits of hydraulic performance when digging into a pile, where you’re pushing, lifting and tilting, all at the same time.
Agriculture
Whether you’re in dairy, beef, or crop production, hydraulic horsepower contributes to better performance when using multiple loader functions at once - like loading manure or feed.
Landscaping
On landscaping jobs, you’ll notice hydraulic horsepower when digging and lifting into heavy material in a pile, such as rock, sand, gravel, or soil.
Grounds Maintenance
You’ll appreciate the benefits of hydraulic performance when removing snow, where you’re pushing snow with a bucket, lifting and tilting it into a transport truck, all at the same time.
