Operator Experience
DESIGNED AROUND YOU. BUILT TO OUTLAST THE DAY.
Bobcat® compact track loaders aren’t just built tough—they’re built for the people who run them. Intuitive cab layouts, adjustable seat-mounted joystick controls, and clear sightlines help you stay precise and productive from the first pass to the last. With a heated air-ride seat, ergonomic controls and adaptive features that respond to your every move, Bobcat loaders make long days feel shorter—and every job feel more in your control.
Cab Comfort
STAY IN COMMAND, STAY COMFORTABLE.
No matter how you work or where the job takes you, Bobcat compact track loaders are built to keep you comfortable and in control. Enjoy features like a sealed, pressurized cab, suspension seat, precision climate control, and noise-reducing insulation that help you stay fatigue-free from dawn to done. When the conditions get tough, your Bobcat cab keeps you ready to go.
Undercarriage
SOLID FOUNDATION. SUPERIOR RIDE.
A great ride starts where the machine meets the ground. Bobcat undercarriages absorb impact and smooth out the roughest terrain, so you can stay focused, comfortable, and in control. With multiple configurations—from the advanced 5-Link torsion suspension to the roller suspension and solid mount designs—you’ll feel the difference every inch of the way.
Visibility
DESIGNED FOR CONFIDENT OPERATION.
Bobcat loaders are designed to enhance visibility with open viewing areas and minimal obstructions to your sightlines. Slim cab pillars, a cab-forward design, and strategic lift arm placement give you a clear view of your work area and attachment. With an optional clear-side enclosure and available rearview camera, you’ll stay aware of your surroundings and focused on the job.
Ergonomic Controls
BUILT FOR PRECISION, ENGINEERED FOR YOU.
Every movement matters. That’s why Bobcat loaders put ergonomic controls right at your fingertips. They’re responsive, customizable, and built for the way you work.
Selectable Joystick Controls
Selectable joystick controls put precision at your fingertips. This low-effort, fully electronic control system lets you choose between ISO or H control patterns to match your operating style. Smooth, responsive joystick input makes every movement deliberate and efficient, while integrated features—like attachment control and drive response settings—let you fine-tune machine behavior to the task. The result is less fatigue, greater comfort, and total confidence behind the controls.
Hand and Foot Controls
For operators who prefer a more traditional setup, hand & foot controls deliver familiar, mechanical control with direct feedback from the machine. Independent hand levers manage steering while foot pedals control lift and tilt functions, giving experienced operators intuitive command of movement and workgroup response. This setup offers the feel and responsiveness many pros know and trust, making it easy to stay productive all day long.
Displays & Instrumentation
YOUR COMMAND CENTER
Stay informed, stay in control. With multiple Bobcat display options, you can keep track of machine performance, diagnostics, job progress and more.
