Bobcat Australia expands its extensive line of compact earth moving equipment with the introduction of the MT50 Compact Track loader. This walk-behind loader works where many larger machines cannot fit and provides excellent attachment performance.

The new Bobcat MT50 Compact Track loader mechanizes labor forces, even where there is no room for the smallest skid-steer loader or compact excavator. This compact walk-behind loader is just 904mm wide, 1,750 mm long and 1,128 mm high, it has a rated operating capacity of 227 kg and a 1,900-mm lift height.

With a 14.92 kW liquid-cooled Kubota diesel engine, 50.72 l/min of auxiliary hydraulic flow and a 2,600-psi hydraulic system, the MT50 has the power needed for optimum performance with a variety of attachments. More than 10 attachments are available and most attachments are common with the Bobcat 463 skid-steer loader. Changing attachments is fast and easy with the Bob-Tach™ attachment mounting system, which is standard on the MT50.

The MT50 is equipped with a rubber-track undercarriage that allows it's 1,132-kg weight to tread lightly, exerting only 0.36 bar ground pressure. The tracks on the MT50 distribute the loader's weight over a larger area, which reduces ground pressure and minimizes damage to lawns and other established surfaces. The tracks also provide improved traction and better flotation.

Operators will find the MT50 a pleasure to use with an easy to understand and operate instrument panel. Two independent hand levers control the travel and steering and two levers control the lifting and tilting functions.

The Bobcat MT50 Mini Track loader safety features include a reverse-travel stop panel, a parking brake, neutral start interlocks, lift and tilt lockout system, lift arm bypass and a lift arm support device.

The MT50 will prove to be a valuable piece of equipment in landscape applications, fencing, cleanup tasks (both indoor and out) and in any other limited access areas that prevent the use of larger size equipment. Landscape contractors can eliminate much of the hand labor normally found in landscaping applications with the wide variety of attachments available. Contractors have the ability to move dirt, trench, level, landscape rock, erect fences, plant trees and drill post holes.
