At Agritechnica 2023 in Hanover, Germany from 12-18 November 2023, the world’s largest trade fair for agricultural machinery and equipment, Bobcat debuted a number of new products and technological developments for the first time at the show.
Visitors to the Bobcat stand at Agritechnica were be able to see the latest innovations and highlights from the company’s wide range of telehandlers, mini-excavators, mini and compact track loaders as well as agricultural attachments and portable power solutions. Bobcat’s brand new L95 compact wheel loader and super compact TL25.60 telehandler both made their debut at the show, alongside several other products, services and solutions from Bobcat for the agricultural market.
Bobcat’s Top-of-the-Range Model: the L95 Compact Wheel Loader
The new premium L95 model once again offers the outstanding combination of high performance, intuitive controls, operator comfort, ease of use and flexibility with attachments found in the current L75 and L85 models. In addition, the L95 features the very latest product updates based on customer feedback. Bobcat’s new compact wheel loader is ideal for a wide range of agricultural applications, such as working with silage forks and forage windrows.
Jiri Karmazin, Loaders Product Manager at Bobcat, said: “High performance is assured in the L95 by the combination of the powerful Bobcat 75 HP engine, the hydraulics and the 40 km/h maximum travel speed. As in the L75 and L85, this is complemented by the comfortable and spacious cab, combined with the high stability and lift capacity and impressive breakout, push and pull forces, together with a comprehensive selection of Bobcat attachments. And the enhanced Automatic Ride Control system protects operators from any bumps or rough terrain.”
To move faster from one jobsite to another, the L95 operator can shift from first to second gear while stationary. Due to the maximum speed of up to 40 km/h, more mobility and considerable savings can be achieved, through increased daily machine utilization on the farm. The L95 can also be equipped with premium 405/70 R20 tyres, which have been specially developed for use in this industry.
The Super-Compact TL25.60 AGRI Telehandler
The new TL25.60 AGRI telehandler is compact and maneuverable to ensure optimum performance in all situations. In addition, the TL25.60 AGRI also offers numerous other advantages that are of particular interest to customers in the agricultural sector:
- Three AGRI versions available
- Wide range of tyres
- Air suspension seat
Comfort is paramount in the TL25.60 AGRI. The spacious cab is easily accessible via a large access door with ergonomic handles. In the cab, the tiltable steering column available in standard and extendable versions can be adapted to individual needs.
The TL25.60 offers the same cab as that in some of Bobcat’s larger models, making it the most spacious compact telehandler for the operator on the market today. The operating system is intuitive, so operators learn to use the controls and joystick layout quickly and effortlessly – ideal for newcomers as well as experienced users. In addition to the ease of use, the excellent visibility from the cab ensures optimum safety during every operation.
E27z – Top Performance with the most Spacious Cab in its Class
The Bobcat E27z compact excavator comes with outstanding performance and the industry´s most spacious cab for a machine of its size. A true zero house swing machine, even with the optional heavy counterweight, the E27z offers best-in-class maneuverability when working close to walls, increased all-round stability and a lower weight for easier transportation on a trailer. With the optional long dipper arm and deluxe cab, the E27z delivers digging performance and operator comfort normally only found on much larger excavators.
Machine IQ – Telematics Solution for Better Maintenance and Safety
The Machine IQ telematics system gives Bobcat customers 24/7 access to critical machine information on their smartphones or computers. This information allows them to optimize machine use and plan jobs with maximum profitability by minimizing idle time and tracking fuel consumption. Maintenance notifications make maintenance planning a breeze: operators save time and money by efficiently scheduling machine maintenance and managing work on the farm during scheduled downtime.
Connecting customers with their machine data not only increases efficiency, but also provides greater peace of mind. Machine IQ increases security by giving users the ability to create geofences and time restrictions for machines. This gives them peace of mind that their investment is protected with customizable alerts and users are warned if a machine is moved without authorization.
