Limerick-based Adare Machinery, Irish importers of the Bobcat range of equipment, had planned to launch several new products on to the Irish market at this year’s Ploughing Championships, had the event taken place. Its vertical-lift T76 compact track loader has been completely redesigned. The 74hp loader/skid-steer with tracks is powered by a Bobcat inline engine and direct-drive system.
Limerick-based Adare Machinery, Irish importers of the Bobcat range of equipment, had planned to launch several new products on to the Irish market at this year’s Ploughing Championships, had the event taken place.
Its vertical-lift T76 compact track loader has been completely redesigned. The 74hp loader/skid-steer with tracks is powered by a Bobcat inline engine and direct-drive system.
The low ground pressure track system is designed to push through difficult conditions.
Weighing 4,649kg, it features more powerful hydraulics (88l/min) and breakout forces, fast cycle times and increased operator comfort.
This includes optional automatic heat and air conditioning, ergonomic controls and a roomy cab. Sitting on 12.6in tracks, the machine has a 2.27m turning radius.
Pricing for the range starts at €45,000 plus VAT.
L28 small articulated loader
The L28 small articulated loader is a compact machine designed to work in areas with restricted space. It is powered by a 25hp, 2,600rpm engine and has an operating weight of 1,902kg.
Equipped with a hydrostatic drive with four individual drive motors, it has a
turning radius (inside) of just 1.98m. With a counterweight attached, the loader
has a rated operating capacity of up to 885kg.
E145 excavator
With an operating weight of 15,869kg, the Bobcat E145 excavator is powered by an 115hp turbocharged engine.
The excavator features a max dig depth of 19.6ft, a max dump height of 23.2ft and a max reach at ground level of 27.9ft. With a hydraulic flow rate of 110l/min, the E145 features four power modes, fast cycle times and a bucket digging force of 21,471lbf. It also features a reduced tail swing to allow for greater maneuverability in restricted spaces.
Bobcats say features such as variable speed control improve fuel efficiency up to 5% by automatically reducing engine rpm during low workload requirements, such as the slew portion of a dig cycle.
Bobcat claims the automatic belt tensioner maintains constant tension on the engine accessory belt, compensating for regular wear.
