Features for Optimized Attachment Operation

Attachments Now!

Most manufacturers claim that their excavators are attachment-ready. However, the exchange system, hoses and couplers, controls and clamp mounts may actually be pricey add-ons. Bobcat excavators are different. Our exclusive X-Change attachment mounting system, quick couplers, clamp mounts, and fingertip controls come standard on a majority of our excavators. You will have multi-attachment functionality — with attachments such as breakers, augers and plate compactors — immediately. You’ll be able to take on more jobs with a Bobcat excavator right now.

Fingertip Controls

Fingertip Controls
The auxiliary hydraulic controls are at the fingertips providing precision control and low-fatigue operation. Exclusive features include: variable flow-allows you to control attachment speed or move a clamp precisely; and detent-provides continuous flow for attachments such as augers and plate compactors.

Quick Couplers: Auxiliary quick couplers are conveniently located on the boom, keeping them up out of the trench and out of harm’s way. Clamp Ready: Clamp mounts are integrated into the dipper arm for maximum durability. There’s no welding required to add a clamp. X-Change® System: Bobcat’s exclusive system allows you to change attachments quickly.

Hydraulic X-Change

If you want the most convenient attachment changes in the industry, purchase the optional Hydraulic X-Change. Activate the hydraulic pins at the flip of a switch; retract for attachment removal or extend for attachment hook up. Install the retainer pins before operating. Attachment capabilities make a big impact on your productivity. When attachment changes are simple, operators are more likely to use the proper-sized bucket and the best attachment for the job. That can mean fuel savings, less time spent backfilling and less wear and tear on your machine. Bobcat Hydraulic X-Change maintains optimal “pin-on” bucket geometry — so that arm and bucket force are not compromised.

Do more than dig

Even if you just want to dig today, tomorrow’s job could demand more from your machine. An auger, breaker, clamp or one of the other sixteen attachments will go a long way to save you time and labor.

Bobcat excavators have your business expansion built right in. Nobody builds more compact excavator attachments. Whether it’s breaking concrete, breaking down buildings or drilling tree holes, Bobcat attachments help you take on new jobs and get more use from your machine. You can even share some of the same attachments that fit on your Bobcat loaders. This gives you the most versatility for your dollar and improved profitability. Bobcat pioneered the attachment industry — expanding the versatility of its equipment using the same toughness and creative engineering that made the brand famous. With more than sixteen attachments to choose from, it’s not just a digging machine; it’s a versatile tool carrier.
