Bobcat T 450 Track Loader

The nimble T450 compact track loader brings leading maneuverability and power to jobsites big and small. You’ll quickly negotiate small access points and confined jobsites where larger machines are less efficient and productive.

T450 Features & Benefits

Productivity and Performance

Standard Control Systems

With Bobcat Standard Controls, operators control the drive functions with dual steering levers and manage the loader lift and tilt with dual foot pedals. 

Selectable Joystick Control System

With Bobcat® Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC), available on most loader models, the power is in your hands. They're the most advanced joysticks on the market, engineered and built with technology and features to help you run your machine and attachments more efficiently than ever. No other joysticks in the industry come close to delivering this level of customization and control you'll find with SJC. Our system lets you control your loader and attachments easily and comfortably. They’re loaded with many Bobcat-exclusive features. 

Deluxe Instrumentation

Deluxe Instrumentation brings upgraded communication, monitoring, productivity and control to your Bobcat® skid-steer loader or compact track loader. It monitors key loader functions, communicates alerts and provides additional attachment information to track usage. 

Remote Control

All loaders that are equipped with Selectable Joystick Control (SJC) can be operated by a remote-control system, so you can operate the machine without an operator in the cab. The remote control is completely portable. If you have multiple machines, you can quickly remove the remote from one machine and attach it to another in minutes.

Durable Undercarriage System

You won’t find a tougher track system on the market. Every component is engineered for lasting durability, including steel imbed tracks, forged steel idlers and solid-mounted drive motors and hydraulic hoses. The undercarriage system for Bobcat® loaders also delivers a better-quality ride and simple maintenance. 

2-Speed Travel

The 2-Speed travel option boosts your top travel speed. Reduce your travel time across jobsites, limit the need to load and unload your machine on a trailer and shorten your long-haul tasks. 

Quicker Turning

When not carrying a load, Bobcat skid-steer loaders deliver balanced, easy turning for ideal performance. Our skid-steer loaders offer effective turning and skidding; reduced fuel consumption and power requirements; increased drive train and tire life; and less wear and tear.

Smart Cooling

Bobcat loaders feature the exclusive SmartFAN that only turns as fast as needed. The patented design cools more efficiently, while the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are protected from jobsite hazards. Additionally, Bobcat offers an optional automatic reversing fan which clears debris from the radiator screen while you’re working in dirty environments.

Durability and Uptime Protection
Protected Loader Components

Jobsite hazards are everywhere and when your machine is out of operation for repairs, you lose time and money. With Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders, you’re ready for nearly anything that you’ll encounter. Each component is designed for reliable protection. That means peace of mind, no matter the conditions of your jobsite. 

Protection Technologies

Every skid-steer and compact track loader is engineered with multiple protection technologies. Working together, they protect your machine and decrease the risk of failure. For you, that means better reliability and the confidence to do your work.

Cold Weather Engine Protection

Bobcat diesel engines are engineered to guard against the damaging effects of extremely cold weather. They prevent premature wear by automatically increasing the idle speed (rpm) to warm up oil and set a maximum operating speed (rpm) to prevent premature component wear or failure. Depending on the engine oil temperature, the protection may activate for several seconds to a few minutes. 

Simple Machine Tie-downs

Quickly secure your skid-steer loader or compact track loader without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs. The tie-downs are easy to locate and use.

Non-DPF Engine

The biggest advantage of our Tier 4 solution is simplicity. Bobcat engines meet Tier 4 regulations without a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This reduces downtime that occurs with DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs. That allows operators to focus on working.
