From what i understand, Bobcat released their first couple of models this past fall and will be releasing several more compacts in 2008 (hopefully b-4 summer is over). For a total of 9.

Here is my limited understanding of how in some cases, horsepower might not be as much of a factor. A tractor's main job is pulling. It takes traction in order for the tractor to move. A light weight tractor with 25 horsepower, has less traction than a heavier tractor with identical horsepower. Overall, the heavier tractor is getting more out of its horses.
So, when comparing models you may find weight to be a bigger advantage.
