Bobcat Classic vs Pro Loader Packages

At a Glance

Bobcat® Classic and Pro loaders are available in packages that combine different levels of comfort, attachment capability and technology.

• Classic packages include Work, Core and Comfort Plus.
• Pro package offerings include Work, Core, Plus and Advanced, along with a Land Management package available exclusively on the T86-2 compact track loader.

Once you know which loader category suits your needs, compare the packages available for your preferred model. The right package will depend on the attachments you use, your operating environment and the features that best support the way you work.

How to Choose a Bobcat Loader Package

The right loader package depends on more than a preferred feature or package tier. Start with the work you need the machine to perform, the attachments you plan to use and the operating experience you want. Then work with your local Bobcat dealer to match those needs with an available loader model, package and additional options.

1. Identify your loader type and model requirements.


Consider your typical jobsites, ground conditions, available space, lifting needs, transport requirements and primary applications. These factors can help determine whether a compact track loader or skid-steer loader is the better fit, as well as the appropriate model and size class.

2. List your primary attachments.


Identify the attachments you use most often and any tools you may add in the future. Attachment requirements can influence the loader model, hydraulic system and attachment-control features you need.

3. Confirm your hydraulic-flow requirements.

Determine whether your attachments require Standard-Flow, High-Flow or available Super Flow hydraulics. Hydraulic-flow availability varies by loader model and package.

4. Consider how often you change attachments.


If you frequently move between buckets, pallet forks and other attachments, consider which attachment mounting system and control features best fit your workflow.

5. Determine your preferred controls and cab configuration.


Consider your preferred control style and whether an open cab or enclosed cab best fits your working conditions. Also evaluate seating, heating, air conditioning and other operator-comfort needs.

6. Identify your camera, display and operator-assistance needs.


Compare available displays, camera views and operator-assistance technologies based on your jobsites and operating preferences. 

7. Compare packages and additional options.


Review which features are standard within each package and which factory-installed or separately available options may be offered for the model. Options may include track or tire configurations, Machine IQ telematics, undercarriage choices, hydraulic-flow configurations, camera systems and other technologies.

8. Confirm the final configuration with your dealer.


Talk with your local Bobcat dealer to review current model and package availability, attachment compatibility, additional options and final pricing. Your dealer can help you configure a loader around the work you do and the features you value most.
