Building on the company’s success in the North American market, Bobcat has recently launched a new line of compact tractors for the Europe region, comprising nine separate models.

The new releases form part of the ground maintenance equipment (GME) range announced by the company last October, which also includes mowers and turf equipment, as well as Bobcat’s existing mini track and small articulated loaders.

Daniele Paciotti, GME product line director, said: “Bobcat is offering three Compact Tractor platforms – the 1000, 2000 and 4000 series – which feature nine new models from 25 to 58 HP designed to meet the varying needs of customers in EMEA [Europe, the Middle East, and Africa].

“First deliveries of compact tractors to our dealers are planned for February with the initial focus on Italy, UK, Poland and Benelux, where our dealers have shown a great deal of interest.”

Bobcat compact tractors are designed to increase productivity, versatility and reliability. Regardless of the task, these machines help to get the job done efficiently due to their robust construction, smooth operation, flexible configuration and full compatibility with a wide range of Bobcat attachments.

Each of the nine models in the new compact tractor range varies in size and engine horsepower. Customers can also choose between manual and hydrostatic transmissions, 3-point hitch with telescopic or quick lower links and open canopies (ROPS) and cabs.

All models are set up for all-day comfort and offer generously appointed workspace. Features include air conditioning (cab models), a suspended seat, an adjustable steering wheel, linked pedal and intuitive ergonomic controls.

Built to the same high manufacturing standards expected of all Bobcat equipment, the performance and reliability of the new Compact Tractors has been ably demonstrated in the US market for several years. And when it comes to maintenance, Bobcat’s extensive service network gives customers the support their businesses need.

Multi-purpose and customisable

Together, the nine compact tractor models offer a wide choice of application solutions including ground maintenance, landscaping, lifting and handling, agriculture and snow removal.

All machines can be equipped with front, mid and rear connections and power take-offs. In addition, they feature an independent PTO, auto-PTO; PTO Cruise, HST Cruise or Draft control ensuring optimum productivity and uptime.

The proven Bob-Tach system comes as standard on all machines with the front-end loader option, enabling users to easily switch between different Bobcat attachments, delivering greater value and versatility for customers’ businesses.

Fuel consumption is kept to a minimum thanks to the Eco PTO feature, while the linked pedal ensures optimum driving performance from the efficient 3-cylinder engine. The 4-wheel drive feature is standard on all Bobcat tractor models, offering customers superior power and traction in even the toughest working conditions.

Thanks to the one-piece engine cover, daily maintenance on Bobcat tractors has never been more simple. Customers can count on the company’s extensive dealer network for expert advice, timely service and parts availability for both machines and attachments.

In addition to the superior uptime and serviceability features, each tractor is backed by a 24-month, 2000-hour warranty.
