PERFORMANCE BOOST

Option up for more versatility with performance-boosting features including a clamp-ready extendable arm, a long arm and an angle blade. Reach up to 30 in. more than the standard arm with the extendable arm option with less repositioning. Control the extension and retraction of the arm with a paddle on the right-hand joystick controls. When equipped with a clamp, the paddle on the left-hand joystick controls the clamp function. 

ADVANCED EXCAVATOR HYDRAULICS

Whether you’re traveling across a jobsite, backfilling, or digging, your excavator’s hydraulic system contributes to performance more than any other feature. When compared to other brands, advanced hydraulics on Bobcat excavators deliver the most horsepower in working range.

X-FRAME UNDERCARRIAGE

With better ground clearance, the X-frame undercarriage improves your performance in difficult conditions. Dirt and other materials easily pass through this undercarriage, making cleanup faster and leaving less debris on the trailers. The X-frame undercarriage design places drive motors within the width of the tracks, protecting the assembly and improving agility in soft conditions. The recessed motor covers eliminate potential damage and improve your uptime on the job.
