First Time Ever – Attendees Can Experience Bobcat’s First All-Electric Compact Track Loader

Equip Expo attendees will have the opportunity to experience the Bobcat T7X, an all-electric compact track loader. While the machine has been on display at prior trade shows, this will be the first time attendees can operate the loader as part of Bobcat’s exhibit. The T7X is commercially available at select Bobcat dealerships and available to rent through certain Sunbelt Rentals locations.

New Utility Tractors on Display

Introduced in June 2024, Bobcat’s utility tractor lineup (UT6066, UT6566, UT6573) is available and Bobcat will display its UT6573 at this year’s show.

Bobcat utility tractors feature 12x12 power shuttle transmissions that deliver smooth shifting without stepping on a clutch pedal. Powered by turbocharged, Tier 4 diesel engines, these tractors offer robust performance with low-end torque, plus an efficient fuel system. The tractors offer easy service access and simple maintenance, as well as reduced noise and vibration for more comfortable driving. 

The climate-controlled cab, which comes standard on the UT6566 and UT6573, provides year-round comfort. The utility tractors also feature wide glass panels on models with cabs, convenient visibility to the three-point hitch, power and tilt steering, and ergonomic controls that enhance operator performance and minimize fatigue. 

Bobcat Turf Renovation Equipment  

Bobcat turf renovation equipment includes aerators, sod cutters, de-thatchers and overseeders that serve landscaping and grounds care professionals across a variety of industries including golf, sports turf, landscaping and rental. These turf renovation products officially joined the Bobcat brand in early 2024 following a brand transition from Ryan. The SC18H sod cutter, AE19 aerator, AE30S aerator, DT18 walk-behind dethatcher and verticutter will be on display at Bobcat’s indoor booth.

  
ZT5000 Zero-Turn Mower  

The Bobcat ZT5000 is a high-performing, turf-taming machine designed to tackle challenging mowing tasks with precision and ease. It is equipped with an AirFX cutting system with a deep, bullnose-deck design that increases vacuum, lifting grass to the blade for a superior cut while the bolt-on, air-gap baffle technology accelerates under deck airflow for a professional finish. The ZT5000 is available with two cutting deck sizes: a 52-inch or 61-inch deck.

AT450 Articulating Tractor  

The Bobcat AT450 articulating tractor is a four-season machine designed for material handling, turf maintenance, slope mowing and snow removal, and is an ideal solution for landscapers, hobby farmers, golf course groundskeepers and sports facility professionals. The tractor’s articulating and oscillating frame keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground—even on rough, uneven terrain—helping with stability and limiting turf disturbance.

The Bobcat booths will highlight an array of other products including compact tractorslight compactionsmall articulated loaderscompact track loaderscompact excavators; portable power equipmentutility vehicles; and walk-behindstand-on and zero-turn mowers.
