A new line of Bobcat compact tractors has been launched for the Europe region. The new tractors are part of the ground maintenance equipment (GME) range announced by the Bobcat last October. The company now aims to rank within the top-three GME players in Europe, and to double growth in global GME market by 2027.

“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. 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 showed a great deal of interest,” explained Daniele Paciotti, Bobcat GME product line director.

Each of the nine models in the new range varies in size and horsepower, with the option to choose between manual and hydrostatic transmissions: 3-point hitch with telescopic or quick lower links and open canopies (ROPS) and cabs. All the models offer all-day comfort in the well designed workspace. With air conditioning (cab models), a suspended seat, an adjustable steering wheel, linked pedal and intuitive ergonomic controls.

Built to the same 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.

Together, the nine models offer a wide choice of clever application solutions and can be equipped with front, mid and rear connections and power take-offs. Features include an independent PTO, auto-PTO; PTO Cruise, HST Cruise or Draft control ensuring optimum productivity and uptime.

The 'Bob-Tach' system comes as standard on all machines, with the front-end loader option, enabling users to switch easily between different attachments. 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.

Every Bobcat tractor model comes standard with 4-wheel drive. Customers can easily engage it whenever the work demands it – enjoying superior power and traction in even the toughest working conditions.

Daily maintenance is simple thanks to the one-piece engine cover. Bobcat's extensive dealer network means that customers can count on a one-stop-shop 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.
