What sets this model apart

Tread Lightly, Start Working

Tread Lightly, Start Working

Low ground disturbance and a dedicated turf mode help you go easy on fragile surfaces. Intuitive operation and open construction make it easy to jump in and get work done.

Versatility And Reach

Versatility And Reach

Impressive stability, tipping load and reach make it easy to place loads over trenches and sidewalks.

Easy Transport

Easy Transport

Despite its robust construction, the machine is built to be light enough for hassle-free transport on a trailer behind a regular car. This allows you to stay mobile and grow your business.

2-Pedal Driving

Controlling your loader is as easy as it gets. One pedal for forward direction, and one for reverse.

Machine IQ

BOBCAT® Machine IQ Wireless Communications enhances the support for your Bobcat machine: durable built-in monitoring electronics, data available to our machine monitoring specialist, maintenance optimized for your business, and data-driven services that maximize uptime.

Bobcat Warranty

Bobcat develops every machine to the highest standards of quality and durability. That's why our standard warranty provides 24 months or 2 000 operating hours (whichever occurs first) of coverage.

Protection Plus Extended Warranty

Enjoy total peace of mind with Protection Plus® extended warranty. Providing the same level of protection as the standard warranty, it also reflects different customer needs by offering a choice of durations and annual operating hours — up to 5 years or 6 000 engine hours. Protection Plus is transferrable, so it will likely increase your machine's resale value.

BobCARE PM

A long-running machine starts with proper planned maintenance, which helps protect against repair costs and unplanned failures when you're counting on your machine to work.

Truly Multi-Purpose

Bobcat attachments are key to the versatility of your machine. To enable operators to do more, Small Articulated Loaders are equipped with Hybrid Bob-Tach™. This makes them compatible with both small and standard Bob-Tach™ attachments.

  2. BobCARE PM — planned maintenance. Your dealer services the machine on the factory schedule — no planning on your side, just a call or the PM-hours reminder on the display.
  3. Resale value. A documented service history plus an active extended warranty raise the machine's residual value and make it easier to sell or hand over to a new owner.
