ATTACHMENTS AND BUCKETS
Choosing The Correct Bucket
NOTE: Warranty is void if non-approved attachments

attachments for safe loads of specified densities are
approved for each model. Unapproved attachments
can cause injury or death.

The dealer can identify, for each model loader, the
attachments and buckets approved by Bobcat. The buckets
and attachments are approved for Rated Operating
Capacity and for secure fastening to the Bob-Tach.
The Rated Operating Capacity for this loader is shown on
a decal in the operator cab. (See Fluid Capacities on
Page SA-6).
The Rated Operating Capacity 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 Rated Operating
Capacity. If very dense material is loaded, the volume
must be reduced to prevent overloading.
Figure OI-61
Exceeding the Rated Operating Capacity [Figure OI-61]
can cause the following problems:
• Steering the loader may be difficult.
• Tires will wear faster.
• There will be a loss of stability.
• The life of the Bobcat loader will be reduced.
