Bobcat Launches New ‘V-Drive’ Telehandlers for Agriculture

Published on: 2 April 2025

Bobcat has completed the company’s agricultural telehandler range with three new machines. The new large high flow models - the TL34.65HF V-Drive, TL38.70HF V-Drive and TL43.80HF V-Drive - all utilise the ‘V-Drive’ continuous transmission system. They are designed to offer more comfort and productivity while improving operators’ peace of mind and reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of equipment during its lifecycle.

With the V-Drive models added to the existing range, Bobcat still offers the current gearbox transmission for the high flow models, so customers can choose between the existing gearbox system or the new V-Drive continuous transmission. The innovative and smart functions on the new V-Drive models provide an excellent solution for customers requiring a high-performance alternative for their applications.

Using dual hydraulic motors in series, Bobcat has been able to maintain the same performance as the current gearbox transmission.  

Contrary to the current transmission, the V-Drive transmission allows the operator to drive from 0 to 40 km/h without the need to stop the machine or think about changing the gear before starting. As a result, the simplicity and efficiency of the V-Drive transmission offers the highest comfort and peace-of-mind for the operator. It also removes any jolts that might happen when moving from one speed range to another.
