What Makes the CT4545 Different
Bobcat's Premium 4500-Platform Tractor
The CT4545 steps up to Bobcat's premium 4500 platform — a heavier, more refined chassis built around comfort and an available factory enclosed cab with full HVAC. It pairs serious implement capability with the easiest, most comfortable operation in the CT line for long days on large property.
Available Enclosed Cab With Full HVAC
Order the CT4545 with a sealed factory cab — powerful heat and air conditioning, panoramic glass with only four slim pillars, a heated tiltable rear window, a second door, a cab-integrated loader joystick and Bluetooth-radio readiness. Rubber cab mounts isolate vibration and noise for all-weather, all-day comfort.
44.9 HP Turbo Daedong Diesel
A turbocharged 3-cylinder Daedong 3HT-TM4B produces 44.9 gross horsepower at 2,750 rpm and meets Tier 4 emissions standards, putting 32.8 horsepower to the independent PTO. Turbo torque holds strong even at altitude for demanding ground-engaging work.
Three-Range Hydrostatic Drive — 18 mph
An infinite 3-range hydrostatic transmission with twin travel pedals, cruise control and an optional linked pedal makes operation effortless. Creep low for tillage and grading, mid-range for loader cycles, and up to 18 mph in high — with standard 4x4, wet multi-disc brakes and steering brakes for tight turns.
2,716 lb Three-Point Lift & Draft Control
The Category 1 hitch hoists 2,716 lbs measured 24 inches behind the lift point and adds hydraulic draft control that automatically adjusts implement height to hold a steady load in hard ground. It carries the heaviest box blades, 96-inch land graders, rotary cutters and bale equipment.
16.5 GPM Hydraulics & Independent PTO
A total flow of 16.5 gpm — 9.6 to the implement circuit plus 6.9 for steering — feeds the FL9-2 loader, BH86-2 backhoe and rear remote hydraulics. An independent rear PTO at 540 rpm and a 2,119-rpm mid PTO switch on and off with the flip of a switch.
FL9-2 Loader — 1,795 lb Lift to 103 in
The matched FL9-2 front loader raises 1,795 lbs to a 103-inch bucket pivot-pin height with a standard quick-attach mount, level indicator and float. It stands freely on its own so you can drive in and out of it. Add the BH86-2 backhoe for footings, trenching and stump work.
Heavier, More Refined 4500 Chassis
At 4,300 lbs and 70.3 inches wide on a 71.2-inch wheelbase, the CT4545 plants itself firmly for loader and hill work. A full 15.3 inches of ground clearance clears rough terrain, a 9.7-foot turning radius keeps it maneuverable, and a standard enclosed cab, suspension seat and tilt steering keep long days comfortable.

CT4545 Features & Benefits
Performance 14
Tier 4 Diesel Engine
A powerful Tier 4 diesel delivers robust, high-power performance with an efficient fuel system — for reliable start-ups, long component life and low noise and vibration that keep the work comfortable.
Turbo-Charged Performance
Every 4500-platform tractor is turbocharged for consistently strong performance and impressive low-end torque that holds up even at higher altitudes.
Hydrostatic Transmission & Twin Travel Pedals
The 3-range HST makes operation easy with fast, simple direction changes — ideal for front-loader work, mowing and clearing brush. Work in low, medium or high range (each with infinite speed and torque variation); you only stop to switch range. A simple twin-pedal layout (one pedal forward, one reverse) keeps direction changes quick and suits operators of every experience level.
Tight Turning Radius
A tight turning radius lets you work in close to trees, buildings and other obstacles for effective mowing, tilling and more.
Steering Brakes
Steering brakes help maintain a tight turning radius — nearly pivoting the tractor on its inside wheel — especially handy between buildings, in pens and barns, or around trees.
Impressive Drawbar Towing
Competitive drawbar towing power and force handle heavy implement towing with confidence.
Stowable Drawbar
The drawbar stows away when not in use — just pull the pin, turn it around and store it on the tractor.
Telescopic Links (Optional)
Telescopic links accommodate a wider range of implements and hitch configurations and make connections easier, allowing precise adjustment.
PTO Cruise (Optional)
PTO cruise holds rpm at your preferred setting even as load changes, so powered implements run at a consistent speed — improving efficiency and performance when the job needs steady, continuous power.
Independent PTO
With an independent PTO you can engage or disengage the PTO without stopping — just flip the switch and go to work, no full stop and no clutch needed.
Adjustable Hitch
An adjustable hitch adds towing flexibility and convenience.
Side View Mirrors
Side mirrors give a wider field of view for monitoring both sides of the tractor and the surrounding environment.
Standard Four-Wheel Drive
Standard four-wheel drive powers all four wheels for the traction tough jobs demand.
Tire Options
Three tire types match your work for the right blend of reliability, traction and ride quality:
- Turf: a gentler tread that minimizes disturbance on lawns and established landscaping.
- Industrial: wider tread than agricultural and deeper lugs than turf, for great all-condition traction.
- Agricultural: deep, self-cleaning lugs for traction in soft soil and mud and more pull when towing.
Comfort 23
Enclosed Cab With Full HVAC
A sealed cab with a powerful, efficient heat and air conditioning system gives all-weather comfort in any season. Dampening rubber cab mounts isolate engine and transmission vibration and cut noise, a cup holder and 12-volt power port add convenience, and a heated rear window clears ice and snow for a clear view.
Powerful Temperature Control
Eight vents throughout the cab (four in front of the operator and two on each side) plus plenty of air power let you reach a comfortable temperature quickly in any weather.
Panoramic Visibility

Cruise Control (Optional)
When grading, raking or traveling longer distances without direction changes, engage cruise control from a conveniently located dash switch to hold a consistent speed with less input.
Power and Tilt Steering
Power steering adds near-effortless control, and the tilt function lets you set the wheel to the most comfortable position.
Linked Pedal (Optional)
The linked pedal raises engine rpm as you engage the travel pedal for intuitive front-loader control and easier operation on a variety of jobs. At the push of a button the travel pedal and throttle link, and it works in forward and reverse.
Headlights
Bright headlights illuminate the job for high visibility in evening work and other low-light conditions.
Quick Release Radiator Screen
The radiator screen protects the radiator from debris and slides out for simple cleaning and replacement.
Tail Lamp
Two taillights make the tractor more visible to others, especially in low light or at night.

- Easy-to-fill windshield washer fluid
- Easy-to-access cabin air filter
- Quick-release radiator screen
Standard Toolbox
A standard toolbox on the back of the cab, underneath the window, keeps the small tools you need at the ready.
Versatility 10
Optional Front-End Loader With Standard Quick Attach Mounting System
With leading lift capacity and height, the optional front loader is a must-have for digging, dirt moving, loading and carrying. It detaches and stands freely on its own so you can quickly drive into or out of it, a standard level indicator reduces spillage and keeps the load even through the lift cycle, and float lets it follow ground contours. The standard quick-attach system makes mounting attachments fast — line up the mounting plate and lower the levers to lock securely.
Rear Remote Hydraulics
A rear remote hydraulic valve adds attachment versatility by controlling and positioning many implements. One pair of couplers comes standard, and a second pair can be installed as an accessory.
Flip-Up PTO Guard
The flip-up PTO guard opens up room for easier PTO connections while providing protection during operation.
Optional Mid-Mount PTO
An optional mid-mount PTO powers mid-mount implements such as mowers, snowblowers and sweepers, expanding the range of tasks the tractor can handle.

Quick-pin sway bars secure and remove with ease to save time and effort on every implement change.
Angled Lower Lift Arms
Angled lower lift arms make implement hookup quick and easy.
Telescopic Links (Optional)
Telescopic links accommodate a wider range of implements and hitch configurations and allow precise connection adjustments.
Draft Control
Hydraulic draft control senses when hard ground exerts additional force, or "draft," and automatically adjusts implement height to maintain a consistent load — minimizing manual intervention, reducing fatigue and boosting productivity.
Attachment and Implement Versatility
Bobcat gives you access to a world of implements and attachments — moving snow, digging post holes, caring for animals and more — so with the right tractor and the right attachment, there's virtually no task beyond your ability.
