Features
DRIVE RESPONSE MODE
Drive response mode allows you to choose how the drive responds to joystick movement. Whether you like a more gradual response, quicker response or something in between, three different settings put you in control.

SPEED MANAGEMENT
Simply “dial in” your required travel speed in small increments to match speed to your operation requirements and maximize attachment performance. Speed management gives you a full range of joystick motion with maximum driveline torque and full hydraulic power at slower machine speed.
STEERING DRIFT COMPENSATION
Steering drift compensation keeps you on a straight path by helping you make minor adjustments to the steering. It’s beneficial when you side-shift certain attachments, such as planers or trenchers, as this will tend to pull the machine to one side. You can also use it while driving on surfaces that cause the loader to gradually drift left or right, such as crowned roads. Make fine steering adjustments to either side and stay on target.
HORSEPOWER MANAGEMENT
Bobcat horsepower management automatically adjusts the loader drive system to maximize pushing and digging power while minimizing your chance of stalling. Unlike other anti-stall systems, Bobcat horsepower management lets the operator obtain maximum engine and drive torque to match the toughest digging conditions. If you prefer to work without it, simply disengage with the push of a button.
What Makes the T550 Different
68 HP Compact Track Loader Performance
The T550 delivers 68 hp with a 1,995 lb rated operating capacity, giving crews a stronger step up from smaller compact track loaders while staying in a manageable footprint.
Optional High-Flow Hydraulics
Standard auxiliary flow is 17.1 gpm, with optional high flow up to 26.7 gpm for running a wider range of hydraulic attachments.
Two-Speed Travel Option
Optional two-speed travel lets operators move up to 10.4 mph when crossing a jobsite or traveling between work areas.
Open or Enclosed Cab Options
Choose an open ROPS/FOPS cab or add cab enclosure, heat and air conditioning options to match the season and the work.
Selectable Control Options
Joystick control and ACS switchable controls are available, giving operators flexibility to match the control pattern they prefer.
Bob-Tach Attachment System
The standard Bob-Tach attachment system, with optional Power Bob-Tach, helps operators quickly switch between buckets, forks, grading tools, snow tools and other attachments.
Track Loader Traction and Flotation
A tracked undercarriage helps improve traction and flotation on soft, muddy or uneven ground where wheeled loaders can struggle.
