Toolcat Years and Major Features

[60047]

Is there a list of years/models and the major changes that were made? For example which years had the following:

• Dual boom
• Increased horsepower
• Traction control
• Independent suspension
• 4-wheel steering

I'm wondering what the oldest year is with most of the important features.

As far as specs go, you can get them for the different series years here:

Bobcat Historical Specs - Bobcat Company

Here is some info that I snipped from this thread:

And from the Bobcat Website showing model numbers: Bobcat Historical Specs - Bobcat Company

I'm putting together a Toolcat history/buying advice video so I used info in this thread and elsewhere to get a more complete comparison chart (I'll post it in my video thread later this week). If I'm wrong somewhere let me know. In addition to bobcat historical specs webpage I used the bobcat online parts catalog to confirm changes. Many changes not listed, this is high level obviously.

What about differences in lift height?

This was for the F:

Have any info on the 1st gen boom arm lift height, anyone measure one? I haven't seen any info on any lift height changes over the years. I've seen the roll-back/bucket tilt changes and the lift capacity with no counterweight change from 1300-1500lbs from the early series to the later ones.
