What sets Bobcat Skid-Steer loaders apart from the competition To begin with Bobcat was the inventor of the original skid steer almost 50 years ago. The first model was self-propelled and had a compact design resting on 3 wheels 2 of which were drive wheels plus a rear caster. It also had strong lift arms, and a basic utility fork attachment on the fron. At the time it was a welcome replacement for the old method of swinging a pitchfork and breaking you're back in places which were too cramped for a large scale machine. Soon after this, Bobcat introduced the first 4 wheel loader which totally changed the industry once again.
Today Bobcat still offers more loader models than anyone else along with a wider range of attachments and options. Whatever size load you're working with there's a model that's just right for you. In tight spots, you can find a compact, standard wheelbase loader built to maneuver. When you want added efficiency, try the smooth ride of a long wheelbase machine with a radius lift path of a long reaching vertical path.
The machines in the Bobcat K-series come standard with excellent features like hydraulic/engine shutdown mechanisms, deluxe cabs, dual functions, auxiliary hydraulics, and handy front and rear lights. They're also exceedingly easy to service. These loaders are made for hours of trustworthy operation in even the toughest conditions. The drive chains require no adjustment, and you'll never need to oil the axle bearings. Plus you'll be at ease knowing that the auto shutoff system is ready to halt operations before any serious failure can occur.
If you want o really be impressed, check out the chain case of these machines. The drive chains are the biggest you'll find anywhere, and their weight matches the weight of the machine and horsepower and performance you need. Plus they require almost no maintenance, never need lubrication, and never require adjustment.
