ATTACHMENTS
Choosing The Correct Bucket
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Never use attachments or buckets which are not
approved by Bobcat Company. Buckets and
attachments for safe loads of specified densities are
approved for each model. Unapproved attachments
can cause injury or death.
W-2052-0907
NOTE: Warranty is void if non-approved attachments
are used on the Bobcat Mini Track Loader.
The dealer can identify, for each model mini track loader,
the attachments and buckets approved by Bobcat. The
buckets and attachments are approved for Rated
Operating Capacity (ROC) and for secure fastening to the
mini track loader.
The ROC for this mini track loader is shown on a decal on
the machine. (See (MT55) MINI TRACK LOADER
SPECIFICATIONS on Page 111.)
The ROC is determined by using a standard dirt bucket,
and material of normal density, such as dirt or dry gravel.
If longer buckets are used, the load center moves forward
and reduces the ROC. If very dense material is loaded,
the volume must be reduced to prevent overloading.
Figure 38
Exceeding the ROC [Figure 38] can cause the following
problems:
• Difficult steering.
• Faster track wear.
• Loss of stability.
• Reduced mini track loader life.
Use the correct size bucket for the type and density of
material being handled. For safe handling of materials
and avoiding machine damage, the attachment (or
bucket) should handle a full load without going over the
ROC for the mini track loader. Partial loads make steering
more difficult.
Pallet Forks
Figure 39
If a pallet fork attachment is used, the load center moves
forward and reduces the load capacity.
The maximum load to be carried when using a pallet fork
is shown on a decal located on the pallet fork frame (Item
1) [Figure 39].
See your Bobcat Dealer for more information about pallet
fork inspection, maintenance and replacement. See your
Bobcat Dealer for ROC when using a pallet fork and for
other available attachments.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Do not exceed Rated Operating Capacity (ROC).
Excessive load can cause tipping or loss of control.
