L85 Features & Benefits

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. 

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.

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.

Spacious, Pressurized Cab

The roomy, comfortable cab is engineered for all-day operation with low noise levels and easy-to-reach, intuitive controls. The cab’s pressurized environment repels dust and improves the efficiency of heat and air conditioning for comfortable operation on even the longest days and toughest jobs.

Optimal Visibility

Whether you choose the standard canopy or the optional pressurized cab, the operator maintains high visibility from the Bobcat compact wheel loader. The cab’s tall, wide windows provide an optimal glass-surface area for high visibility to the jobsite.

Seat-Mounted Joystick

The joystick moves with the suspension seat for added comfort and enhanced controllability during operation. Operators can adjust the joystick forward and backward to their preferred position.

Fingertip Controls

Fingertip controls make it easy and comfortable to operate Bobcat compact wheel loaders. The joystick’s directional switch for forward, neutral and reverse can be operated with the index finger. The differential lock, 2-speed travel switch, lift-arm float and auxiliary hydraulics are located at the top of the joystick. 

Standard Display Screen

The easy-to-read, standard cab display panel provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities. Run your equipment more efficiently and solve more problems in the field with the on-screen content. The display also supports multiple languages.

Heat and Air-Conditioned Cab

Inside the cab of Bobcat compact wheel loaders, the heat and air conditioning are integrated into the machine. Numerous automotive-style vents allow you to direct the airflow where you need it for comfort in all weather conditions. 

Expansive Service Access

The wide tailgate opening, with gas-assisted lift support, provides nearly 180 degrees of service access. Engine checkpoints are within easy reach, making routine maintenance quick and simple.

2.4 L Bobcat Engine

The Bobcat engine 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. 

Centralized Grease Points

A centralized grease bank makes essential daily maintenance quick and easy.

MachineIQ Ready

Bobcat compact wheel loaders are Machine IQ ready. Machine IQ wireless communications connect you to your machine’s information anytime, anywhere, and from any device. Using Machine IQ, you can check on the health of your machines and remotely track information that enhances maintenance, security and performance.

Standard Display

The easy-to-read cab display panel provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities. Diagnostics and detailed operation information includes monitoring, troubleshooting and error conditions. Operators will appreciate the ease in monitoring engine oil pressure, system voltage, engine coolant temperature and other major functions.
