Features & Benefits
Dirt Shield
Mounted over the moldboard on larger models, the dirt shield keeps pushed materials moving forward.
Flotation Tires
The tires provide excellent flotation to keep the grader moving smoothly over the work area.
Side Shift
Manual side shifts on smaller models move the blade up to 12 inches to the left or right. The hydraulic side shift on larger models provides up to 13 inches to the left or right, making it easier to grade next to buildings, poles, and other obstacles.
Oscillating Bolster
The bolster oscillates to minimize the effect of uneven ground, delivering consistent grading performance.
Proportional Hydraulic Valve
With three speeds at which the moldboard can be raised or lowered, the grader’s operation can be more closely matched to the speed of the loader. The longer the operator presses the button that controls the valve, the faster the moldboard moves. It also provides finer control with automatic grading solutions.
Bolt-On, Reversible Cutting Edge
When the edge wears out it can be flipped over to provide a fresh cutting edge.
Bolt-On End Wing Kit
The wing kit helps carry more material when fine grading or spreading materials such as sand or gravel. It turns the grader into a box blade, eliminating the need for an additional attachment. Optional for larger graders.
Automatic Control Systems
Automatic Control Systems increase accuracy and productivity. The blade moves up or down automatically to keep the base material exactly on-grade. Grader is laser-ready. Laser control and sonic/cross slope systems are available.
Laser Receiver Compatibility
For even smoother operation and greater precision, pair the grader with a laser receiver. Bobcat offers two options—Topcon LS-B200W and Trimble LR410—to deliver on-grade accuracy within ¼ inch for excellent grading results every time.
Top Tasks
- Landscaping
- Asphalt, curbs, gutters and concrete
- Trail and path construction
How It Works
Hydraulic cylinders independently adjust each side of the moldboard, angle the moldboard and, on larger models, side shift the moldboard. Tires on the bolster provide excellent flotation to keep the grader moving smoothly over the work area.
Smoother operation and quicker reaction of the grader can be gained when paired with the laser control system. With the laser system, the farther the blade is from grade, the more quickly it will move to grade.
A sonic tracer and cross-slope system is available for use with Bobcat’s larger grader attachments. Whereas the laser-guided systems require a laser transmitter and can only follow a plane of light, the sonic/slope system will follow the terrain below the sonic tracer (mounted on one side) and maintain a consistent cross-slope that has been predetermined. This system also works well on jobsites in which the transmitter may not have complete visibility to the receivers at all times.
For your most complex design projects, consider the 3D ready system. Using GPS technology or UTS, the system has the ability to accurately and efficiently complete complex designs with accuracy of 3-5 millimeters.
Options & Accessories
3D Grading System
Expand your capabilities and increase your efficiency with the industry’s first 3D grading system for compact equipment. Using the plug-and-play system, you’ll save time, fuel, and money with millimeter accuracy. Using GPS or UTS, the system has the ability to complete complex design projects including parking lots, sports fields and road work.
Choose between a satellite option for outdoor applications and a universal total station for indoor or outdoor applications. After you load a computer-generated model to the system’s control box, the system automatically grades the ground with remarkable accuracy. For you, this means moving dirt to the right spot quicker and getting the job done faster.
With the 3D grading system, you can bring your office and jobsite together. To set it up, simply load a software-generated model file to the 3D grading system. Your equipment will take care of the rest. Job progress can be monitored from the office using the Connected Site software. It also gives you the ability to make updates to your designs, wirelessly loading the new model file to your loader on the jobsite in real-time.
