James Crouch:
There's nothing substandard about sub-compact tractors. Their small size and ease of use makes a perfect
piece of equipment for a variety of light-duty tasks on your small acreage. This is especially true of Bobcat Compact
Tractors. James Crouch:
Hi, I'm James Crouch, Senior Product Manager for Tractors at Bobcat Company. Let's take a walk around the Bobcat 1000 Platform
Tractors, and you can judge for yourself. When we're done, I think you'll see that these
tractors provide the right combination of power, traction, size, and maneuverability
for chores on your property. Whether it's mowing wide open areas or taking
care of business inside and around barns and sheds. James Crouch:
Our 1000 Platform includes standard two-range hydrostatic transmissions, or HST. Hydrostatic transmissions are extremely easy
to use and enable fast, simple direction changes. This makes the tractor extremely effective
doing work that requires back and forth movement like front-end loader work, mowing, or clearing
brush and wooden areas. Instead of shifting gears, a hydrostatic transmission
uses hydraulic pressure to change your speed. You only need to stop moving if you want to
change your range. James Crouch:
Take a look at the twin pedals. The simple design makes it easy to change
direction. One pedal moves you forward. The other moves you in reverse. A great feature of our subcompact tractors
is a standard mid-PTO. This gives you the ability to use a mid-mount
mower, which gives you excellent maneuverability for mowing around trees, buildings, and other
obstacles. James Crouch:
It also powers a variety of front-mounted attachments. The mid-mount mower has a convenient drive
over design that makes hookup extremely simple. The three-point hitch is the key to your tractor's
versatility. It enables you to use both pull behind and
PTO powered implements, putting a huge variety of tasks in the tractor skillset. James Crouch:
The three-point hitch makes it as easy to hook up and remove implements as needed. Angled lower lift arms provide an easy to
use design that makes implement hookup quick and simple. Rear remote hydraulics are optional on these
tractors. They allow you to gain even more attachment
versatility by enabling hydraulic functions. James Crouch:
Let's take this thing for a test drive. Four-wheel drive is essential on a tractor,
and it's easy to engage whenever the work demands. As you can see, this compact tractor moves
quickly, which helps save time moving from one point to another. You'll make every second count on this machine. Maximum maneuverability is the key to effective
mowing, tilling, and more. James Crouch:
These tractors feature a tight turning radius, so you can move in close to trees, buildings,
and other obstacles. The front-end loader is a must have for digging,
dirt moving, loading, and carrying material. James Crouch:
The Bobcat Tractor gives you excellent lift capacity and height, and quick easy loader
attachment and removal. The quick attach mounting system enables you
to use a variety of attachments like the bucket and pallet fork. Float functionality follows ground contours,
keeping you more productive when working with ground engaging attachments. Bobcat Compact Tractors feature great tow
bar power, and the adjustable hitch allows good towing flexibility and convenience. James Crouch:
If you've got a lot of work to do, you're going to love the Bobcat 1000 Platform. Ask your dealer about these tractors. Better yet, see about doing your own test
drive. Until next time, I'm James Crouch at Bobcat.
