NEW PRODUCTSTERRY PETERSON FARMS


WE’RE REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE POWER AND PERFORMANCE THE NEW S650 LOADERS HAVE, AND THE EXTRA ROOM IN THE CAB.


— TERRY PETERSON, CATTLE FARMER


“Some of our stock yards require a machine with a close turning radius. Our Bobcat loaders go in the yards and have no problem at all. They are much more maneuverable than a tractor with a front- end loader, which may be twice as long as a Bobcat loader.”


Creature comforts are critical to daily loader operators like Crubel and Cooley, particularly when they’re in the machine for many hours. Crubel is quick to point out many of the product developments in the new M-Series loaders from the prior S175 K-Series models.

TASK 3


PREPARE THE TMR AND FEED THE HEIFERS


Bobcat loaders load corn silage, haylage and grain into the mixer.


“The loaders have enough lift height and reach that they can easily dump into the mixer,” Peterson says.


TASK 4


PROVIDE NEW BEDDING FOR THE CATTLE WHILE THEY’RE EATING


Bobcat loaders clean the


barns and beds, place new bedding material (corn fodder).
