Bobcat is introducing several new machines and its latest products for grounds maintenance, turf renovation, and landscaping professionals at the Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, in October.
Equip Expo attendees will also have the first opportunity to try out the Bobcat T7X, the world’s first 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
Bobcat’s utility tractor lineup (UT6066, UT6566, UT6573) was introduced in June 2024 and offers a comprehensive array of tractors for hauling, digging, raking, scraping, and more. Bobcat will display its UT6573 at this year’s show.
Bobcat utility tractors feature 12×12 powershuttle transmissions that deliver smooth shifting without stepping on a clutch pedal. Powered by turbocharged, Tier 4 diesel engines, these tractors offer 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.
Bobcat turf renovation equipment
Bobcat turf renovation equipment includes aerators, sod cutters, dethatchers, 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, and DT18 walk-behind dethatcher and verticutter will be on display at Bobcat’s indoor booth.
ZT5000 zero-turn mower
The Bobcat ZT5000 is a 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 to cut while the bolt-on, air-gap baffle technology accelerates under deck airflow to 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 for material handling, turf maintenance, slope mowing, and snow removal. It is built 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 tractors, light compaction, small articulated loaders, compact track loaders, compact excavators, portable power equipment, utility vehicles, and walk-behind, stand-on, and zero-turn mowers. Bobcat will also show its ZT6000e electric zero-turn mower and its ZT6200 autonomous mower prototype. Equipment on display will also feature optional accessories and attachment offerings like the disc mulcher and Brushcat rotary cutter.
