How to Choose Your First Loader: Small Articulated Loader vs. Mini Track Loader

Summary

Are you a first-time loader buyer? Whether you need horsepower to increase your work efficiency or to combat labor shortages, a Bobcat machine makes a great investment. With so many models to choose from, you’re sure to find a model that fits your needs.

Each Bobcat product has its strengths, and it can be a challenge to narrow down that purchasing decision if you’re new to compact equipment. So let’s make it a little simpler by comparing two Bobcat products that are very popular with first-time equipment buyers: the small articulated loader, sometimes referred to as a compact articulated loader, and mini track loader, sometimes referred to as a mini skid-steer loader. Both machines are maneuverable, easy to use and will do a great job of replacing manual labor.
