True cycle times aren’t measured in a dealer parking lot. They’re measured on the job, under load: filling trucks, placing boulders or trenching. Matching cylinder size to pump capacities, Bobcat excavators achieve industry leading cycle times.

Multifunctioning Controls

When running an excavator, you rarely make one move at a time. Completing a task may include offsetting and moving the machine, plus running the attachment and work group. Bobcat compact (mini) excavators feature fingertip controls for the auxiliaries, boom swing, and angle blade so you can move the machine while you run the attachment and work group at the same time.
