For Pennsylvania acreage owners Merrill and Lois Chambers, a Bobcat®


compact


tractor and attachments has helped them transform a rustic overgrown property into an enjoyable residence, with many outdoor activities.


Bobcat compact equipment has been a part of Randy Schrauder’s life for decades. Now he’s getting the most out of a Bobcat compact tractor with front- end loader as he hauls wood or clears snow, and minimizes manual labor.


A ToolcatTM 5600 utility work machine gets


a workout, whether it’s at an acreage near Kerrville, Texas, or a family-owned ranch. Owners Joe and Pat Natus fi nd many uses for their Toolcat 5600 and attachments, often riding and working together in the air-conditioned enclosed cab.


Camoufl aged and equipped for outdoor activities, a Bobcat 3400 utility vehicle helps owners Bill and Cheryl Batman with property maintenance tasks, as well as transports them throughout their 100-acre property on St. Joseph Island (Ontario, Canada).


Find a complete list of Bobcat- approved snow removal attachments and implements for Bobcat compact tractors, utility vehicles and Toolcat utility work machines.
