The Bobcat package adds specialized machine protection, premium comfort features and attachment-ready capability for forestry operations
Bobcat Company is now equipping its T86-2 compact track loader with a factory-installed land management package.
The forestry configuration is designed for mulching, right-of-way maintenance, trail development, property improvement and land-clearing operations. The package combines specialized guarding, operator comfort features and performance enhancements to help customers tackle challenging jobsite conditions.
“Land management and forestry jobs demand equipment that can stand up to tough conditions,” said Jeremy Harms, Product Manager for Bobcat Company. “This package gives customers a T86-2 that’s factory-equipped with the features and protection needed for demanding land management applications, helping maximize productivity from day one.”
The 5.5-tonne T86-2 is Bobcat’s largest and most powerful compact track loader, delivering 115 hp, a 1,780-kg rated operating capacity and Super Flow hydraulics with up to 159 litres per minute of hydraulic flow.
The compact track loader delivers a 3.6-metre lift height and the capability to run demanding attachments such as drum mulchers and disc mulchers.

Available technologies, including Jobsite Companion that adds voice-activated machine functions, automated attachment settings and real-time job insights, provide operators with additional tools to improve efficiency in the field.
The package can also simplify machine preparation for dealers by reducing the time and labour often associated with installing forestry-related accessories after production.
Designed for forestry work
Forestry and land management often require long operating hours in hot, debris-heavy environments. The T86-2’s integrated cooling system is designed to support extended operation, while the land management package adds factory-installed components intended to help protect key machine areas.
The package includes more than 10 factory-installed accessories designed to help shield key machine components from debris and jobsite hazards, including a land management door, polycarbonate rear and side windows, Level II FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure), exhaust debris guard, coupler guard, tailgate guard with integrated taillight guards, headlight guards, tubeline covers, air intake pre-cleaner, triple-flange rear idler and fire extinguisher.
To help operators stay comfortable throughout long work days, the package also includes premium comfort features such as a high-back heated air ride seat, infotainment system, premium LED lighting and side lights.
Combined with the T86-2 platform, the package gives customers a machine tailored for land management work with the protection, comfort and attachment capability needed for demanding conditions.
