A note about machine class designations and specifications :

Because of the large number of machines stocked at our various branches (and ever-changing inventory) it is not possible to provide you spec sheets on each individual unit within our system.  Therefore, we have selected a sample model from each category that is reasonably representative of most machines that we stock which fall into that same category.  For instance, the unit below will provide you typical specifications for all machines in this particular class or size category.

A word of caution: If a particular dimension or specification is of critical importance to the success of your project, please speak to our dispatchers about that directly - do not assume that the specifications listed here will be exactly what you will get when your machine arrives.  The onus is on you to ensure the machine you order will do what you need it to.   For instance, if you have a width or height restriction, be sure to measure exactly what your minimum clearance is.  For example, if you have only 48" clearance for width, do not assume that a machine ordered in the 4-foot class will fit - it could easily measure 49" or 50", and still be considered a 4-foot class machine.  The same goes for dig-depth, reach, weight, lift height, lift capacity, and so on.

When you order this machine without any additional attachments, what does it come with, standard?

All our bobcats automatically always come with a smooth dirt bucket for grading, moving loose material, etc., as well as a "toothbar", which when bolted on turns the smooth bucket into an aggressive excavating bucket, for digging in hard ground.

As well, usually a 5th wheel is brought along as a spare, in case we hit a nail, get a flat on your jobsite.

Any additional attachments you want must be specifically ordered when you book your machine.  Rental charges will apply.

Comment regarding the most useful application of this machine category:

Pound for pound, in our opinion this category of machine is the most powerful, most productive out there.  It is truly remarkable, from the operator's perspective, how much work these little machines can do.  They fit nearly anywhere - given their 4-foot width, and can lift nearly half their own weight.  Very powerful for ripping up asphalt driveways, excavating and grading for landscaping, placing rocks, etc.  Backfilling around new custom homes and additions are a specific specialty, given their small size coupled with their power and stability.  That said, if you have room to accommodate a full size machine (ie 5 or 6 foot), it is generally a good idea to do so.
