Specific model depends on exact machine configuration and year. Engine Type: 4-stroke, naturally aspirated or turbocharged diesel. Performance Displacement: Typically in the range of 2.5 - 4.0 Liters. Specific value required from machine data plate or serial number lookup. Horsepower: Varies by model and configuration, generally between 50-75 HP (37-56 kW). Precise figures are crucial and can be found in the manual. Torque: Corresponding torque figures are vital for understanding pulling power and hydraulic system performance. Fuel System Fuel Type: Diesel Injection System: Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) or similar modern diesel injection technology. Cooling System Coolant Type: Ethylene Glycol based coolant. Specific OAT (Organic Additive Technology) or HOAT (Hybrid OAT) type as specified by Bobcat is critical. Refer to manual for precise specifications (e.g., Bobcat Coolant P/N 7263097). 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Typically a hydrostatic transmission (HST) providing infinite speed control and smooth power delivery. Some models might feature a powershift transmission. Optional Optional Transmission: Powershift transmission may be an option on certain configurations or higher-spec models. Features Drive System: Four-wheel drive (4WD) with selectable drive modes (e.g., 2-wheel steer, 4-wheel steer, crab steer). Transmission Fluid Type: Refer to manual for specific Bobcat transmission fluid specifications (e.g., Bobcat Hydraulic/Transmission Oil P/N 7248989 or equivalent). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length: Varies by configuration and attachment. Typically around 4-5 meters without attachment. Width: Typically around 1.8-2.0 meters. Height: Varies by cab/canopy height. Approximately 2.0-2.5 meters. Wheelbase: Crucial for stability and turning radius. Specific value required from manual. Weights Operating Weight: Typically in the range of 4,000 - 5,500 kg. This is a critical spec for transport and load capacity. Lift Capacity: Rated lift capacity at max reach is a key performance indicator....
