Browsing tractors but not sure which fits you best? This article should help you understand the line-up available from Bobcat’s line-up.

Sub Compact Machines

These sub-compact sized machines are perfect for personal property and smaller scale tasks where maneuverability and nimbleness are more valuable than maximum power and lift capability. These machines are typically employed to level, load, mow, dig, trench & snowplow natural landscape grounds as these machines can complete the job at hand to a similar degree as their larger counterparts, though these larger machines have benefits of their own.

The Bobcat CT1000 platform offers between 21-25 horsepower in a compact frame able to maneuver around obstacles and tight spaces lifting to 700-lbs payload. This platform range can travel up to 17.8 kmph and is available with only a hydrostatic transmission, unlike the larger models with alternative options.

Compact Tractors

With a larger frame and powertrain, the compact series can help with further rugged tasks compared to sub-compact machines in commercial landscaping, farming, or ranch work on multiple acres of ground to be worked on. The wider range of attachments available to compact tractors compared to sub-compact models offer further versatility to owners and operators on the jobsite.
