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.

Attachments approved / available for this class
Nearly every attachment made for skid steers will function on this size of machine, with very few exceptions.

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:
This is a big machine, by bobcat standards. If you have room for it, it's a good machine. It can lift very heavy loads - big armourstone and landscaping rockery - over a tonne. It can easily move whole skids of interlocking, block or brick. It can easily load dump trucks, due to its high lift/dump height. It's a perfect machine for high volume production, especially on industrial and big development sites. A caution - just because you can fit a machine over 6 feet wide into your workspace doesn't mean you should do so - sometimes a bigger machine in a tighter area is actually slower due to diminished maneuverability, and the extra weight can create more turf and jobsite damage issues - it's a big machine and will definitely leave its mark. But for high-production, heavy lifting, and high reach, you can't beat it.
