The size of the project will determine the right size of the machine required to complete it. Small track loaders, under 70 hp, are typically used for smaller landscaping and residential projects. Medium-sized units, ranging from 70-100 hp, are a must-have for your average residential construction, demolition, landscaping & snow removal jobs. Large track loaders, above 100+ hp, are best for heavy duty applications such as industrial construction and demolition or large-scale farming.

Track loaders are very versatile and can be operated in all weather conditions, from rain and snow to mud and gravel. They feature two rubber tracks that give exceptional grip under wet or uneven conditions, as well as provide excellent float to help minimize any damage to finished landscapes. However, still be mindful of excessively cold temperatures. Always warm up your track loader before operating it, test your battery and make sure your wiper blades are operational.

Bobcat track loaders operate on two tracks as opposed to skid-steer loaders, which have four wheels. The rest of the machine features and functionality are basically the same, depending on the models. The benefit of two tracks over four wheels is that track loaders have two large contact points with the ground instead of four small ones. This gives the track loader a much better float, allowing it to run on grass and finished grounds without tearing it up as you work.
