• SOUND DAMPENING: If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Bobcat® loaders include many sound-dampening features that keep your cab quieter.
• CLEAR VISIBILITY: R-Series loaders maximize open viewing areas by minimizing and removing surfaces and structures that intrude on your sightlines. Thanks to innovative engineering, robust materials and cutting-edge manufacturing, you get the best view on the jobsite.
• OPERATOR-FRIENDLY CONTROLS: Time-tested controls on Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders make it easier to work longer and perform precise work. The engine speed control is conveniently located in front of you. Fingertip controls simplify the operation of soil conditioners, sweepers, tillers, buckets, grapples and other attachments. Foot pedals can be adjusted to your preferences.
• MAXIMUM HEADROOM AND LEGROOM: Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders are engineered with large swing-open doors, and a lowered door threshold, which provide ample headroom for exit and entry. Inside, even tall operators will be comfortable with plenty of headroom. Additionally, the swing-open door doesn't take up cab space and can be removed without tools.
• HYDRAULICALLY CUSHIONED CYLINDERS: Smooth and quick Bobcat® lift cylinders are automatically cushioned at the fully lowered position. The tilt cylinders are also cushioned at the full dump and rollback positions. This reduces noise and increases comfort during operation.
• CLEAR-SIDE ENCLOSURE: Maneuver more confidently. Enhance your productivity. Easily see to the sides of your machine. R-Series loaders offer an optional enclosure that maximizes visibility by reducing steel mesh screens from the side windows. The mesh-free windows are made from 3/8-inch-thick polycarbonate with an abrasion-resistant coating to allow the optimal view you demand with the durability you expect.
• ONE-PIECE PRESSURIZED CAB: A one-piece, sealed and pressurized cab on R-Series loaders provides a near-seamless interior for a new level of operator comfort. The cab design along with improved seals help reduce noise and vibration for enhanced sound isolation. There are no maintenance items under the rear hood for improved access to hose and electronic connections and major components. Most service items can be accessed without raising the lift arm.

When you want to enable additional features on your equipment, your dealer can turn them on quickly and easily to help you accomplish more.

Performance

• POWERFUL HYDRAULICS: When it comes to performance, Bobcat® loaders are in a class by themselves. Each component – including the engine, pumps and hydraulic system – is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance so you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.
• INCREASED LIFTING CAPABILITIES: The cast-steel lift arm sections of the R-Series loaders are stronger to ensure optimal performance. Combined with the optimized lift-arm linkage, you can handle more challenging jobs with greater confidence and ease.
• STANDARD CONTROLS: With Bobcat Standard Controls, available on select models, a lever controls the drive on each side independently, while your feet control the lift arms and bucket. The farther you stroke the lever, the faster you go. The shorter the stroke, the more torque is delivered to the wheels or tracks – allowing maximum power for pushing into a pile. This tried-and-true system is still a popular style of control.
• SELECTABLE JOYSTICK CONTROL: Bobcat Selectable Joystick Control, or SJC, is becoming the most popular control choice among operators. No other joystick in the industry comes close to delivering the level of customization and control. With SJC, you control your loader and attachments easily and comfortably. They're loaded with many Bobcat-exclusive features.
• AUTOMATIC RIDE CONTROL: Automatic ride control reduces material spillage, allowing you to travel at faster speeds across rough terrain. Thanks to its dampening effect, the option also increases operator comfort by offering a smoother ride.
• TWO-SPEED TRAVEL: The Two-Speed travel option boosts your top travel speed. Reduce your travel time across jobsites, limit the need to load and unload your machine on a trailer, and shorten your long-haul tasks.
• STANDARD DISPLAY: An easy-to-read display panel provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities from inside the cab. Run your equipment more efficiently and solve more problems in the field with the innovative IQ display, which supports multiple languages.
• REDESIGNED BOBCAT ENGINE: R-Series loaders feature a Bobcat® engine. An efficient design provides the performance you need while reducing and simplifying routine maintenance. Thanks to an innovative new fuel system, low fuel levels are more forgiving for busy operators. The engine also improves cold-weather operation and includes a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.
• DUAL-DIRECTION BUCKET POSITIONING: Dual-direction bucket positioning, offered on R-Series loaders, keeps the load at a consistent angle throughout the lift cycle – both up and down – to reduce spilling which increases efficiency and improves ease of operation.
• EFFECTIVE WEIGHT BALANCE: When not carrying a load, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders deliver balanced, easy turning for ideal performance. They offer effective turning and skidding, reduced fuel consumption and power requirements, increased drive train and tire life, and less wear and tear compared to "flat-footed" machines sold by other manufacturers.
• MAXCONTROL REMOTE OPERATION: Control your Bobcat loader using an app on your iOS smartphone. This system functions as an extra set of hands when help is limited, allowing quick two-person jobs to be handled by a single operator. It also enables operators to avoid repeated trips in and out of the cab.
• SUPERIOR LIFT ARMS: With two lift path options, Bobcat loaders have you covered. Vertical-lift-path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius-lift-path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height.
• 5-LINK TORSION SUSPENSION UNDERCARRIAGE: Experience elevated levels of performance and comfort with the optional torsion suspension undercarriage. As the industry's most advanced system, it offers unprecedented levels of durability, reduced maintenance requirements and faster track cleanout. It also reduces noise and vibration while you're working, a difference you'll feel through the entire machine so you can stay in the cab longer and get more work done. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Serviceability

• HYDRAULIC OIL SIGHT GAUGE: Check your hydraulic oil level quickly and easily as you walk by your machine. Keep an eye on hydraulic oil levels and simplify your daily checks.
• IMPROVED ENGINE SERVICEABILITY: When your engine maintenance is easy to do, your engine maintenance actually gets done. With the redesigned Bobcat® engine, checkpoints are within easy reach. Time is money, and preventive maintenance is quick and simple with R-Series loaders.
• PROTECTED BATTERY/REMOTE JUMPSTART: On R-Series loaders, the battery is located under the cab – separated from the engine compartment. Just lift the one-piece cab away for easy access. It's a convenient service location that protects the condition of your battery and provides more room for component access in the engine compartment. A remote terminal, located in the engine compartment, makes it easy to charge the battery or jumpstart the loader if needed.
• TIP-UP CAB: When it's time for maintenance or repairs, simply lift the entire R-Series cab out of the way using the hardware on the exterior of the cab.
• GREASE POINT ACCESS: Maintenance is easier and faster with easy-to-access grease zerk locations on critical pivot points. Avoid laying on the ground or standing on tracks to grease the pins.

Uptime Protection

• PROTECTED COMPONENTS: R-Series loaders are engineered to protect critical components from jobsite hazards, vibrations and tough conditions to keep your machine in operation and you on the job.
• IMPROVED ENGINE UPTIME: The redesigned Bobcat® engine on R-Series loaders offers a variety of fuel features, including an efficient fuel tank vent filter, fuel filter pressure sensor, improved fuel recirculation value and more to improve performance and uptime to keep you running strong all day long.
• SIMPLE MACHINE TIE-DOWNS: Quickly secure your skid-steer loader or compact track loader without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs. The tie-downs are easy to locate and use.
• CAST-STEEL LIFT ARMS: R-Series loaders not only look tougher – they are tougher. Bobcat® lift arms feature cast-steel construction for increased material strength and rigidity. Cast-steel allows more material where it's needed, which provides greater strength while enabling a slimmer profile arm that also enhances visibility.
• IMPROVED COOLING: As operators depend on their compact equipment to run longer and do bigger, more difficult jobs, effective cooling is essential. The R-Series cooling system is completely redesigned for optimal operation and maximum uptime.
• NON-DPF ENGINE: The biggest advantage of our Tier 4 solution is simplicity. Bobcat engines meet Tier 4 regulations without a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This reduces downtime that occurs with DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs. That allows operators to focus on working.
• MAINTENANCE-FREE CHAINCASE: Many brands will tout the ability to adjust their loaders' drive chains. These periodic adjustments cost you time, productivity and money. Bobcat has offered a better way for years with its skid-steer loaders: No adjustments. Bobcat welds its axle tubes to the loader chaincase. This, along with tight tolerance chain placement, eliminates the need for adjustments. So instead of spending time in the shop, you can spend time on the job with Bobcat skid-steer loaders.

Versatility

• ATTACHMENT VERSATILITY: Our attachments help you do much more than dig. Bobcat offers attachment versatility across carriers combined with unbeatable attachment support from the Bobcat dealer network.
• BOB-TACH ATTACHMENT SYSTEM: Change attachments quickly and easily using the time-tested, standard Bob-Tach® mounting system included with every loader or upgrade to the optional Power Bob-Tach system for swapping non-hydraulic attachments without leaving your seat.
• ATTACHMENT CONTROL KIT: Several attachments require control of more than one function, and our small, seven-pin attachment harness activates power and fingertip control functions while eliminating the need for the mechanical relays used on other loaders. Controls are fully integrated with your Bobcat® loader for a clean look and protected routing.
