Bobcat introduces its new M-Series
skid-steer loaders
Bobcat, the leading manufacturer of compact
equipment, last year presented its new M-Series
Stage V compliant skid-steer loaders to the
world at Agritechnica, Hanover, Germany. The
new models are commercially available from
January 2020.
Equipped with a specially developed Stage V
compliant Bobcat engine, the new skid-steer
loaders offer greater power, enhanced comfort
and optimised maintenance. Designed to
maintain the compact dimensions of this series
and can manoeuvre in the smallest spaces, with
transport being easy thanks to their low weight.
Options such as air-conditioning, the deluxe
instrument panel and high-flow auxiliary
hydraulics now come as standard with the 500
series models. Thanks to an additional 37% of
torque and faster recovery from overload
compared to previous models, the operator
obtains the same power at lower engine speeds,
reduced noise levels and lower fuel
consumption. In addition, the diesel particulate
filter, included as standard, makes it possible to
work in areas with strict emission standards.
As well as the new M-Series skid-steer
loaders, Bobcat’s T590 compact track loader has
different configurations. The bolt-on bolt-off
quad-tracks allow machines to be adapted even
more flexibly to different environments and

applications. At this point, Quad-track is still a
concept in the evaluation phase.
The company’s range of telehandlers now encompasses 15 different rigid frame machines with lifting capacities
between 2.6t and 4.3t and lifting heights from 6m to 18m. The TL30.70 compact telescopic loader offers a maximum lifting
capacity of 3t and a maximum lifting height of almost 7m – perfect for many applications in construction. A compact and
economic alternative to larger 7m models, the TL30.70 excels above all in small work areas where outstanding
manoeuvrability is a priority.
The TL43.80HF, despite its compact dimensions, provides an impressive lifting capacity of 4.3t and a maximum lifting
height of almost 8m.
