From land-clearing to road works, Bobcat’s latest attachments for CTLs, SSLs, and more

Throughout 2023 Bobcat continued to expand its attachment offerings. These attachments helped users accomplish more tasks in landscaping, construction, forestry, agriculture, and other industries. Bobcat currently has hundreds of attacments and implements in its offerings.

"Compact loaders, excavators, and other carriers are only as productive as the attachments and implements they power," said Lee Smith, general manager for Bobcat attachments. "Bobcat is continually developing attachments that help our customers expand their job site capabilities and accomplish more."

In 2023, Bobcat continued to expand its lines of attachments and implements.

Super-flow planers

Bobcat super-flow planers are capable of milling concrete and asphalt up to seven inches thick. These attachments take advantage of the extra hydraulic power available in the Bobcat T86 compact track loader and S86 skid-steer loader - compact loaders that offer three hydraulic flow options in one machine. The super-flow planers are available in 24-inch and 48-inch cutting widths. Bobcat also offers a 40-inch planer compatible with both super-flow and high-flow hydraulics. In all, Bobcat offers six planer attachments that accommodate standard, high-flow, and super-flow hydraulics.

Disc mulchers

Bobcat introduced its disc mulcher attachment to help operators power through tough land-clearing applications. Compatible with a host of Bobcat skid-steers and compact track loaders, the disc mulcher features a high-velocity disc fitted with four-point, hardened-steel teeth that help make fast work of trees and thick brush. The disc mulcher cuts down trees up to 14 inches thick and can turn heavy brush and trees up to six inches thick into a bed of mulch. The disc mulcher is available in 48-inch and 60-inch cutting widths.

Drum mulchers

Bobcat has introduced a drum mulcher attachment for select excavators. Previously offered for select compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders, drum mulchers make fast work of heavy brush and trees up to five inches thick. This attachment allows excavator operators to clear trees and stubborn overgrowth along steep roadsides, riverbanks, and other hard-to-reach areas. Bobcat offers three models, the 28DMX, 36DMX, and 50DMX, with cutting widths of 28, 36, and 50 inches respectively. The mulcher lineup can be operated with excavators ranging from 4 to 10 tons. Featuring axial piston hydraulic motors, these drum mulchers help optimize rotor speed and torque for ideal productivity in a wide variety of land-clearing applications.

Augers

Dig holes with speed and plumb-line accuracy with a Bobcat auger attachment. Bobcat has expanded its lineup of hydraulic-powered augers with four new models, the 12PH, 14PH, 20PH, and 25PH, which offer a variety of torque and speed options to match a wide range of soil conditions and applications. Bobcat augers are compatible with compact loaders, excavators, compact wheel loaders, telehandlers, small articulated loaders, Toolcat utility work machines, and mini-track loaders. The new augers are part of a larger lineup with various widths and digging depths. The lineup includes augers with hex shafts and shafts that accommodate both hex and round bits.

Heavy-duty brush cutters

The Bobcat heavy-duty brush cutter makes fast work of clearing heavy brush and small trees. The brush cutter's high-efficiency, direct-drive AP4 motor maximizes hydraulic horsepower for the cutting of tall, thick vegetation, including trees up to 10 inches in diameter. The high cutting speeds, combined with the heavy-duty blades and stump jumper, maximize inertia to cut through dense vegetation in one pass. Compatible with a variety of compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders, the heavy-duty brush cutter is available in 62-inch, 74-inch, and 86-inch cutting widths. The lineup offers five motor options which align with standard- and high-flow carriers.

Grapples

Bobcat has expanded its lineup of grapples to include an 80-inch and 86-inch root grapple, industrial bucket grapple, and industrial fork grapple. There are 16 total models available. These grapples are compatible with a wide variety of skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini-track loaders, Toolcat work machines, telehandlers, small articulated loaders, and compact wheel loaders.

Brush grapples

Bobcat brush grapples for compact tractors are great for gathering and stacking brush, tree limbs, and other loose materials. Available in two sizes, the 48-inch grapple is compatible with Bobcat 1000-platform sub-compact tractors while the 60-inch grapple fits all 2000-platform compact tractor models. These grapples are lightweight and open wide to take big bites and get more done with every cycle.

Snow blades for UTVs

With the Bobcat family of utility vehicle plows, operators can push snow to get more use from their machines. Plow through deep drifts and quickly clear snow from wide sidewalks, walkways, and driveways with the heavy-duty V blade, heavy-duty straight blade, or the medium-duty, straight-blade attachment.

Finish mowers

Maintain large lawns with PTO-driven finish mowers that are compatible with select Bobcat compact tractors, sub-compact tractors, and the UW53 Toolcat utility work machine. These implements feature high blade speeds, convenient access to maintenance points, and a rear discharge that allows operators to mow close to buildings and other structures. Connected to a three-point hitch, the finishing mowers follow the ground contour to reduce scalping and leave behind an even cut. Bobcat finish mowers are available in widths of 60 and 72 inches. 

Attachments are a cost-effective alternative to operating high-cost machines dedicated to performing a select few job site tasks. With Bobcat attachments, contractors can expand their job site versatility, save time, reduce labour, and generate new income sources.
