Compact Tractor

The powerful Tier 4 diesel engine offers robust, high-power performance, plus an efficient fuel system. You’ll enjoy reliable tractor startups and long component life, as well as low noise and vibration for comfortable work. 

4500 platform tractors are equipped with a turbocharger for consistently high performance and impressive low-end torque that never relents even in higher altitudes. 

The three-range hydrostatic transmission (HST) provides maximum ease of use and fast, simple direction changes, making it extremely effective for frequent front-end loader work, mowing or maneuvering in wooded areas while clearing brush. Work in low, medium or high range to match the demands of the task. Each range provides infinite speed and torque variation. You’ll only need to stop moving if you want to change your range.  
 
A simple twin-pedal design enables quick and easy direction changes: One pedal moves you forward, the other moves you in reverse. Its ease of operation also makes it a good choice for novice operators.  
 
Whether you're a new or seasoned operator, you'll find these tractors are designed for simple operation for all experience levels. 

Maximum maneuverability is the key to effective mowing, tilling and more. Bobcat compact tractors feature a tight turning radius that helps you operate close to trees, buildings and other obstacles. 

Steering brakes are especially useful when you’re working between buildings, in pens and barns, or around trees. They assist in maintaining a tight turning radius, nearly pivoting the tractor on the inside wheel. 

Bobcat compact tractors deliver competitive drawbar towing power and force for heavy implement towing performance. 

The compact tractor’s drawbar conveniently stows away when not in use. Simply pull the pin, turn it around and store it in your tractor. 

Telescopic links can accommodate a wider range of implements and hitch configurations. They also make implement connections easier, allowing for precise connection adjustments. 

PTO cruise allows you to maintain rpm at your preferred setting – even as the tractor’s load conditions change. With PTO cruise, operators can ensure that powered implements run at a consistent speed, which can improve efficiency and performance, especially when implement operations require steady and continuous power. 

With an independent PTO, you can engage or disengage the PTO without having to stop the compact tractor. Simply turn on the PTO switch and go to work with your PTO-powered attachment. There is no need to come to a complete stop or engage a clutch. 

The adjustable hitch provides you with towing flexibility and convenience. 

Side mirrors provide a wider field of view for enhanced visibility while monitoring both sides of the tractor and the surrounding environment. 

Standard four-wheel drive provides power to all four wheels, providing the traction you need for tough jobs. 

Three types of tires are available for Bobcat compact tractors. They offer a combination of reliability, traction and ride quality to match the requirements of your work. 
 
Turf Tires 
Turf tires are designed with less aggressive tread that minimizes disturbance on lawns and established landscaping. 
 
Industrial Tires 
Industrial tire tread is wider than agricultural tires, and the lugs are deeper than turf tires. They deliver great traction for all ground conditions and many different applications. 
 
Agricultural Tires 
These tough tires have deep lugs for optimal traction and self-cleaning in soft soil and mud. They also deliver more power to the ground when towing heavy loads or pulling implements. 

The sealed cab – complete with a powerful and efficient heat and air conditioning system – provides all-weather comfort while protecting your ability to get the job done in any season. 
 
Dampening rubber cab mounts isolate you from engine and transmission vibrations in addition to reducing noise levels. Creature comforts like a cup holder and 12-volt power port enhance your cab experience even more. 
 
The heated rear window clears ice and snow, enhancing your view for the workday ahead.

With eight vents throughout the cab (four in front of the operator and two on each side) and plenty of air power, you can quickly reach the perfect temperature for a comfortable work environment. These Bobcat tractors feature a sealed cab with a powerful heat and air conditioning system, so you can work comfortably in all weather conditions. 

When you sit in the Bobcat compact tractor’s cab, you’ll notice its panoramic visibility – made possible with large, wide glass panels, a tiltable rear window with rear defrost and only four slim support columns – ensuring minimal obstruction to your view while you work.  

Rubber isolators between the tractor's mainframe and cab minimize vibration passthrough, supporting a comfortable ride on long workdays.

Open the second door for easier jobsite communication or to enjoy enhanced visibility for the job. 

When grading, raking or traveling longer distances without direction changes, you can engage cruise control with a switch conveniently located on the dashboard to obtain a consistent speed with less input. 

Power steering adds near-effortless steering control, and the tilt function enables operators to adjust to the position that feels most comfortable. 

The linked pedal increases engine rpm as you engage the travel pedal. This makes for intuitive front-end loader control and enhances ease of use on a variety of other jobs. With the push of a button, the travel pedal and engine throttle are linked. The linked pedal works in forward and reverse. 

Bright headlights illuminate the job for high visibility for evening work and other low light conditions. 

The radiator screen protects the radiator from debris for simplified maintenance. Simply slide the screen out for cleaning and replacement. 

Two taillights make your tractor more visible to others, especially in low light conditions or at night.

Work easier on bright days with built-in shade. The tough, reliable sun visor guard shields your eyes from bright sunlight.

Four work lights illuminate the front and rear of the tractor to help keep you productive long after sunset or before sunrise. 

Side view mirrors provide a wider field of view for enhanced visibility while monitoring both sides of the tractor and the surrounding environment.

Keep the small tools you need at the ready with the standard toolbox. It’s located on the back of the cab underneath the window. 

With leading lift capacity and height for exceptional productivity, the optional front-end loader is a must-have for digging, dirt moving, loading and carrying material. The loader is easy to attach and remove and stands freely on its own when not in use – so you can quickly "drive into or out of" the loader. A standard level indicator helps you reduce spillage and maintain an evenly positioned load throughout the lift cycle. Front-end loaders are equipped with float functionality to follow ground contours as you work. 
 
The quick attach system makes mounting attachments on the front-end loader quick and easy. Simply line up your compact tractor’s mounting plate to the attachment, then lower the levers to engage the attachment until they’re locked securely in place.

A rear remote hydraulic valve allows you to gain even more attachment versatility by enabling hydraulic functions to control or position many implements. One pair of rear remote hydraulic couplers comes standard, and a second pair can be installed as an accessory. 

The flip-up PTO guard provides more room to make PTO connections easier while providing protection during operation.
