Bobcat Features On Demand technology gives equipment owners the flexibility to enable additional features to properly equip compact loaders as needs change – after purchase. This technology gives owners the freedom to customize a machine to the exact features needed at any time.

The Bobcat depth check system accurately measures depth and grade without the operator needing to exit the compact excavator. The system helps prevent under-digging and over-digging, to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The system detects the exact position of the bucket's teeth, allowing operators to set a desired digging depth and work against that benchmark. Audible alerts indicate whether the operator is approaching the target, at the target or beyond the target.

Bobcat automatic grading solutions deliver more accurate grading results with less time and less labor – and can save on expensive finishes such as concrete. Laser-guided systems and sonic/slope systems offer accuracies better than +/- ¼”. The 3D-ready system uses GPS technology or UTS to accurately and efficiently complete complex designs with accuracy of 3 – 5 mm.

With these low-effort joysticks, available on most loaders, operators control all machine functions with their hands. (Optional on select models.) This state-of-the-art system includes several exclusive features that adapt the loader’s performance to specific job requirements including speed management, horsepower management, steering drift compensation and a drive response mode.
