Bobcat will be launching a new smaller-scale model of its Toolcat work machine, according to multiple sources deemed reliable! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Like its big brother 4-cylinder Kubuta diesel 46hp <font color="red"> 5600 </font> and 56hp <font color="red"> 5600 Turbo </font> models, the mini <font color="red"> Toolcat 4200 </font> will have 4-wheel steering, 4WD, HST, axle oscillation, suspension, front hydraulic lift arm & attachment carrier, hydraulic dump bed, etc. The Toolcat 4200 will be powered by a 3-cylinder engine and have an open cab. We're not sure about lift arm's ROC or auxilliary hydraulic flow rates. Expect more details soon.
The unique Toolcat was designed to do much of the work of a utility vehicle, skid-steer loader and CUT, all in one machine. Ever since the initial Toolcat was released in 2003, Bobcat has followed up with enhancements, such as a more powerful 5600 Turbo model in 2004, high-flow aux. hydraulics option, rear PTO option, revised lift arm, etc.
My current Toolcat is perfect for me. The 5600 and 5600 Turbo models have also been well-received by quite a few other satisfied customers, including large grounds maintenance institutional buyers. But with the 5600 Turbo weighing 4820 lbs. w/out attachments, potential purchasers with smaller properties and less heavy-duty lifting / carrying / pulling / cutting / etc. needs were not served.
Bobcat already offers multiple sizes and capacities in its other product categories. Now we'll see a wider range of models in the Toolcat work machine family! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
