What Makes the CT4055 Different
The Most Powerful Tractor in the CT Line
The CT4055 SST tops the entire CT lineup — 50.3 horsepower and a class-leading 49.6 horsepower at the PTO from a turbocharged engine, on Bobcat's largest 4000-platform frame. It's the choice when raw implement power on big acreage matters most.
50.3 HP Turbo Diesel — 49.6 PTO HP
A turbocharged 3-cylinder Daedong 3FT-TL4-U produces 50.3 gross horsepower at 2,750 rpm and meets Tier 4 emissions standards. Paired with the geared synchro transmission, it puts a remarkable 49.6 horsepower to the PTO — the most in the CT line — for the largest rotary cutters, tillers, graders and snowblowers.
8×8 Synchro Shuttle Transmission
The SST runs a manual 8×8 synchro shuttle with shift-on-the-fly gear changes — the closest feel to a stick-shift automobile. Eight matched forward and reverse gears (17.5 mph forward, 17 mph reverse) make it ideal for loader cycles and ground-engaging work where you want direct gear control and full engine power to the implement.
2,716 lb Three-Point Lift
The Category 1 hitch hoists 2,716 lbs measured 24 inches behind the lift point — far beyond the compacts. That carries the heaviest box blades, 96-inch land graders, large rotary cutters and bale equipment, with a Hydraulic Position Control System holding a repeatable working depth.
14.1 GPM Hydraulics & Independent PTO
A total flow of 14.1 gpm — 9.6 to the implement circuit plus 4.5 for steering — feeds the front loader and hydraulic attachments with the volume big jobs demand. An independent rear PTO at 540 rpm engages and disengages with the flip of a switch, no clutching. (Rear remote hydraulics are available as an option.)
Full Cat 1 Implement Range
The CT4055 swings the heaviest end of the Category 1 catalog: box blades to 84 inches, land graders to 96 inches, large rotary cutters, tillers, disc harrows, snowblowers, bale unrollers, pallet forks, grapples and rock buckets — paired with the 4000-platform FL9 front loader and BH86 backhoe. It's a true work platform for large acreage and livestock operations.
Big, Stable, High-Clearance Frame
At 3,745 lbs and 69.8 inches wide on a 71.2-inch wheelbase, the CT4055 shares the largest, most planted CT frame. A full 15.3 inches of ground clearance clears rough terrain and tall stubble, an 8.6-foot turning radius keeps it nimble, and a foldable ROPS, tilt steering and full lighting keep long days comfortable.

CT4055 Features & Benefits
Performance 10
Independent PTO
The CT4055's independent PTO lets you engage or disengage the PTO with the flip of a switch — no stopping the tractor, no clutch. That's a real time-saver on stop-and-go jobs like augering a row of post holes, where you restart the implement again and again as you move from one to the next.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
Power take-off is the heart of a tractor's versatility — till the garden, put in a food plot, clear weeds along ditches and pastures, bore fence-post holes in tough soil, or mow the whole acreage in an afternoon. The CT4055 carries a standard rear PTO plus a mid PTO, and paired with the three-point hitch it drives implement after implement with ease.
Three-Point Hitch
The three-point hitch turns the CT4055 into a true do-anything machine — mowing, tilling, driveway grading, raking, snow moving and more. It accepts the full range of Category 1 implements and is designed to make hooking them up quick and easy.
Three Tire Options
The right tire gets the most out of your tractor, so the CT4055 can be fitted with one of three types to match your ground:
- Agricultural: deep, self-cleaning lugs grip in soft soil and mud and add pull behind heavy loads and implements.
- Turf: a gentler tread that protects lush lawns and finished landscaping from scuffing.
- Industrial: wear- and puncture-resistant, with a wide tread for solid traction across nearly any surface.
Maximum Maneuverability
Big-property work throws a new challenge at you every day, and the CT4055 is built to take it. A well-balanced design and a tight turning radius keep it responsive and easy to place, while high ground clearance lets you keep working over uneven, wet or muddy terrain. A stable wheelbase spreads weight evenly for sure footing on slopes and steadier towing — and depending on transmission, steering brakes can help pivot the tractor tightly on the inside wheel.
Four-Wheel Drive
A working tractor lives and dies by traction. The CT4055 comes with four-wheel drive you can put to work the instant a hill, a wet patch or a heavy load calls for it.
Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS)
A ROPS is standard on non-cab models and protects the operator in a rollover, as long as it's locked upright with the seatbelt buckled. When clearance is tight, the foldable ROPS drops down to clear branches, doorways and trailer decks, then raises right back up.
Leading Lift Capacity
Strong lift expands what your implements can do, and Bobcat compact tractors are known for class-leading three-point-hitch lift capacity — so the CT4055 can raise and carry heavier implements with confidence and get more out of every attachment.
Turbo-Charged Performance
Equipped with a turbocharger, the CT4055 delivers consistently strong performance and impressive low-end torque that doesn't let up — even at higher altitudes where naturally aspirated engines lose power.
Manual Synchro Shuttle Transmission
The CT4055 runs a manual synchro shuttle transmission with shift-on-the-fly functionality — the closest feel to a stick-shift automobile, letting you change gears and shuttle between forward and reverse without coming to a full stop. It's a natural fit for loader cycles and ground-engaging work where you want direct gear control and full engine power to the implement.
Comfort 4
Operator-Friendly Controls
The CT4055 is built to be easy to run, with controls that help you get more done with less effort. The levers fall naturally to hand, and conveniences like power steering and cruise control let you manage the tractor and its implements with confidence.
Work Lights
When the light goes, the CT4055 keeps working. Bright headlights light the job in front of you in low light, and a long-life LED tail lamp keeps you visible from behind on trails, lanes and back roads.
Premium Comfort
The operator area is laid out for comfortable hours in the seat, with controls and gauges arranged for easy use and an illuminated dash you can read in any light. Fender grips on each side (on select machines) make getting on and off easy, the quiet low-vibration engine eases the day, and extras like an optional rubber floor mat, adjustable seatbelt and cup holder round out a station that's easy to use and easy to enjoy.
Deluxe Suspension Seat
A comfortable seat keeps you working longer without feeling beat up at day's end. The deluxe suspension seat (on select models) soaks up the vibration and bumps of the job, fully adjusts to fit any operator, and adds a fold-down right-hand armrest for extra support — so you can finish the mowing, clean out the barn or clear one more pasture in comfort.
Uptime-Protection 3
The Bobcat Dealer Network
Great machines need great support behind them. Bobcat's dealer network delivers local authorized service, warranty work and parts availability that's hard to beat — and a dealer like Carleton Equipment, Michigan's authorized Bobcat dealer with 7 locations, keeps your CT4055 running for the long haul.
24-Month, 1,500-Hour Warranty
Your CT4055 is backed by a strong factory warranty: 24 months against defects in materials and workmanship, or 1,500 hours of use — whichever comes first.
Machine Protection
Thoughtful details help the CT4055 shrug off everyday wear:
- A heavy-duty polymer fuel tank keeps fuel clean and won't rust or contaminate.
- A brush guard — included with the front loader, or available separately — shields the front end as you push through brush, branches and debris.
- The streamlined metal hood improves sightlines from the seat and protects the engine and components from dirt and debris.
Serviceability 3
One-Side Maintenance
Maintenance is easy when everything's in reach. The CT4055 keeps its daily checks, fluid fills and filters on one side of the engine, so routine upkeep takes only minutes and helps keep the tractor at peak performance.
One-Piece Engine Hood
There are no side panels to wrestle off — the one-piece hood lifts on an air-cylinder assist to open the entire engine bay at once, putting virtually every major service point right in front of you.
All-In-One Fuse and Relay Box
Fuses and relays sit together in one central box, so replacing a fuse or tracking down an electrical issue is quick and painless.
Versatility 1
Attachment Versatility
For the money, few machines stretch as far as a compact tractor, and Bobcat backs the CT4055 with a deep catalog of implements to maximize your return. Mow a clean, professional cut around the house, auger holes for new trees, clean out the barn or move hay, grade the gravel drive, or clear snow from the house and outbuildings — between the available attachments and 3-point implements, the job list it'll tackle is a long one.
