Bobcat Company showcased an extensive range of grounds maintenance and turf renovation equipment at the Equip Expo, held from October 15 to 18 in Louisville, Kentucky. Among the highlights was the T7X all-electric compact track loader, available for attendees to operate for the first time at a public event.
The spotlight also fell on the UT6573, part of a new series of utility tractors (including the UT6066 and UT6566) launched in June 2024. These tractors are powered by turbocharged Tier 4 diesel engines and feature 12×12 powershuttle transmissions for seamless gear changes without the need for clutch engagement. The two larger models come with a climate-controlled cab as standard, while all models are equipped with a three-point hitch, power and tilt steering, ergonomic controls, and easy access to service points for hassle-free maintenance.
Joining the UT6573 is the AT450 articulating tractor, designed for versatility across seasons. Its articulating and oscillating frame ensures all four wheels maintain contact with the ground, enhancing stability and minimizing turf disturbance on uneven terrain.
The ZT5000 zero-turn mower, representing Bobcat’s mower line, features an AirFX cutting system with a deep, bullnose deck designed to improve vacuum and lift grass for a superior cut. Its innovative bolt-on, air-gap baffle technology enhances under-deck airflow, providing a professional finish. The mower is available in 52-inch and 61-inch cutting deck options.
Additionally, Bobcat introduced its turf renovation equipment lineup, previously part of Ryan, which was integrated into the Bobcat brand in early 2024. Featured models include the SC18H sod cutter, AE19 and AE30S aerators, as well as the DT18 walk-behind dethatcher and verticutter.
The Bobcat booths also highlighted a variety of other products, such as light compaction equipment, compact excavators, portable power tools, utility vehicles, and different types of mowers, including walk-behind, stand-on, and zero-turn models. The company also presented its ZT6000e electric zero-turn mower and a prototype of the ZT6200 autonomous mower, along with various optional accessories and attachments for its equipment lineup.
