Bobcat Company has expanded its attachment lineup with new tools in nine categories.
The new attachments and implements are designed to help operators in landscaping, construction, forestry, agriculture applications.
In 2023, Bobcat also expanded its product offerings to include more time- and labour-saving components, including hydraulic tilt couplers and mechanical pin grabbers for excavators, as well as more laser-guided technology offerings.
“Compact loaders, excavators and other carriers are only as productive as the attachments and implements they power,” said Lee Smith, General Manager for Bobcat attachments.
“Bobcat is continually developing attachments that help our customers expand their jobsite capabilities and accomplish more.”
The new attachment options from Bobcat include:
Super-flow planers
Bobcat super-flow planers are high-powered attachments capable of milling concrete and asphalt up to 18 cm thick.
The planers take advantage of the extra hydraulic power available in the Bobcat T86 compact track loader and S86 skid-steer loader — the only compact loaders to offer three hydraulic flow options in one machine, with super flow generating up to 159 litres per minute and 4,061 psi. The super-flow planers are available in 60-cm and 1.2 metre cutting widths.
Bobcat also offers a 1-metre planer compatible with both super-flow and high-flow hydraulics.
Disc mulchers
Bobcat introduced its disc mulcher attachment to help operators power through tough land-clearing applications. Compatible with several Bobcat skid-steer and compact track loaders, the disc mulcher features a high-velocity disc fitted with four-point, hardened-steel teeth that make fast work of trees and thick brush. The disc mulcher cuts down trees up to 35-cm thick and can turn heavy brush and trees up to 15-cm thick into a bed of mulch, making this attachment ideal for land-clearing applications. The disc mulcher is available in 1.2-metre and 1.5-metre cutting widths.
Drum mulchers
Bobcat has introduced a drum mulcher attachment for select excavators. The attachment allows excavator operators to clear trees and stubborn overgrowth along steep roadsides, riverbanks and other hard-to-reach areas. Bobcat offers three models, the 28DMX, 36DMX and 50DMX, with cutting widths of 71 cm, 91 cm and 127 cm, respectively. The mulcher lineup can be operated with excavators ranging from 4 to 10 tons. Featuring axial piston hydraulic motors, the drum mulchers optimize rotor speed and torque for maximum productivity in a wide variety of land-clearing applications.
Augers
Bobcat has expanded its lineup of hydraulic-powered augers with four new models, the 12PH, 14PH, 20PH and 25PH, which offer a variety of torque and speed options to match a wide range of soil conditions and applications. Bobcat augers are compatible with compact loaders, excavators, compact wheel loaders, telehandlers, small articulated loaders, Toolcat utility work machines and mini track loaders. The new augers are part of a larger lineup with various widths and digging depths. The lineup includes augers with hex shafts and shafts that accommodate both hex and round bits.
Brush cutters
The Bobcat heavy-duty brush cutter makes fast work of clearing heavy brush and small trees. The brush cutter’s high-efficiency, direct-drive AP4 motor maximizes hydraulic horsepower for optimal cutting of tall, thick vegetation, including trees up to 25-cm in diameter. The high cutting speeds, combined with the heavy-duty blades and stump jumper, maximize inertia to cut through dense vegetation in one pass. Compatible with a variety of compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders, the heavy-duty brush cutter is available in 1.5-metre, 1.9-metre and 2.2-metre cutting widths. The lineup offers five motor options which align with standard and high-flow carriers.
Grapples
Bobcat has expanded its lineup of grapples to include a 2-metre and 2.2-metre root grapple, industrial bucket grapple and industrial fork grapple. There are 16 total models to tackle a variety of jobsite needs. The grapples are compatible with a wide variety of skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini-track loaders, Toolcat work machines, telehandlers, small articulated loaders and compact wheel loaders.
Brush grapples
Bobcat brush grapples for compact tractors are the ideal property management attachment for gathering and stacking brush, tree limbs and other loose materials. Available in two sizes, the 1.2-metre grapple is compatible with Bobcat 1000-platform sub-compact tractors while the 1.5-metre grapple fits all 2000-platform compact tractor models.
UTV snow blades
With the Bobcat family of utility vehicle plows, operators can plow through deep drifts and quickly clear snow from wide sidewalks, walkways and driveways with the heavy-duty V blade, heavy-duty straight blade or the medium-duty, straight-blade attachment.
Finish mowers
Maintain large lawns with PTO-driven finish mowers that are compatible with select Bobcat compact tractors, sub-compact tractors and the UW53 Toolcat utility work machine. These implements feature high blade speeds, convenient access to maintenance points and a rear discharge that allows operators to mow close to buildings and other structures. Connected to a 3-point hitch, the finishing mowers follow the ground contour to reduce scalping and leave behind an even, professional cut. Bobcat finish mowers are available in widths of 1.5 metres and 1.8 metres.
In 2023, Bobcat also expanded its product offerings to include more time- and labour-saving components, including hydraulic tilt couplers and mechanical pin grabbers for excavators, as well as more laser-guided technology offerings.
