L85 Features & Benefits
Performance 7
Impressive Lifting Capabilities
For efficient lifting and loading, Bobcat compact wheel loaders are tough to beat. Standard bucket capacities of up to 1-cubic yard make fast work of tough material handling in landscaping, construction, agriculture and many other industries.
Pushing Power
A powerful combination of the electronic-hydrostatic transmission and horsepower management automatically adjusts the compact wheel loader's drive system to maximize pushing and loading power. Unlike other anti-stall systems, the Bobcat compact wheel loader allows for maximum engine and drive torque to match your toughest applications.
Electronic Hydrostatic Transmission (E-HST)
Bobcat compact wheel loaders excel at material handling and other jobs that require high maneuverability. The electric-hydrostatic transmission (E-HST) offers the easy direction changes, efficient acceleration and effortless speed control that helps operators accomplish more in less time.
Z-Bar Linkage
The Z-Bar linkage design provides powerful breakout forces while maintaining a lift path nearly parallel to the ground. This combination of powerful breakout forces and bucket alignment result in minimal spillage and maximum productivity.
Bobcat Engine
The turbo-charged Bobcat engine efficiently delivers powerful, high-torque performance. It achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). This means fewer components for easier maintenance, and no downtime for DPF regeneration.
Operators also appreciate the engine's reliable cold weather starting and a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.
2-Speed Control
With two speed ranges, operators can adapt the performance of the Bobcat compact wheel loader to whatever the job requires. A convenient button on the joystick allows the operator to easily change between speed modes for work or travel.
Automatic Parking Brake with Slope Assist
Release the accelerator pedal as the engine idles and the compact wheel loader's parking brake automatically engages for operator convenience. The slope assist holds the machine's position on inclines and trailer ramps, giving you more control on every type of surface.
Uptime-Protection 4
Machine Protection
Bobcat compact wheel loaders monitor engine and hydraulic functions. If conditions risk damage to the engine or hydraulic components, the system will alert the operator and, if necessary, de-rate engine power as well as hydraulic flow. It still allows the operator to move the compact wheel loader to an area for diagnosis.
Non-DPF, Tier 4 Solution
Tier 4 Bobcat engines in compact wheel loaders achieve emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). This means fewer components for easier maintenance, plus no work stoppage due to DPF regeneration.
Sealed Electrical Connectors
All controls and electrical systems are engineered for durability and peace of mind. Bobcat electronics feature watertight, corrosion-resistant connectors.
Side-By-Side Cooling System
The Bobcat compact wheel loader's radiator and hydraulic oil cooler package deliver high-capacity cooling for optimal performance and superior component protection. Side inlets bring cool air into the engine compartment and send it through the screened rear exit.
