TRANSMISSION

The Bobcat CT1021 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, which provides smooth and seamless speed adjustments, making it ideal for various applications like landscaping and gardening. Its infinite (2-range) forward and reverse gear system allows for flexibility in maneuverability, enabling operators to efficiently navigate tight spaces or change directions effortlessly. However, potential drawbacks include higher maintenance costs associated with hydrostatic systems and a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with this type of transmission.

Description

MECHANICAL

The Bobcat CT1021, equipped with a 4x4 MFWD chassis, offers superior traction and stability on varying terrains, making it ideal for tasks that require agility, such as landscaping and light farming. The wet disc braking system enhances stopping power and reduces wear, although maintenance might be higher than dry brakes in certain conditions. Its hydrostatic transmission provides smooth, variable speed control, but operators may need to adapt to the distinct drive characteristics compared to traditional gear setups.

BOBCAT CT1021 TIRES

The Bobcat CT1021 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires (Front: 18x8.5-10, Rear: 26x12.00-12), providing optimal traction for fieldwork and maneuverability on uneven terrain. The option for industrial tires in the same dimensions may enhance stability and durability on hard surfaces, making it suitable for construction or landscaping tasks. However, the choice of tire type should align with the intended application, as agricultural tires offer better grip in soft soils, while industrial tires may wear faster on loose terrain.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Bobcat CT1021 boasts a compact wheelbase of 55 inches, making it highly maneuverable in tight spaces, ideal for landscaping and small-scale farming. Weighing 1,488 lbs, it offers good ballast for stability during operation, but may limit load-carrying capacity compared to heavier models. The combination of front and rear tire sizes (18x8.5-10 and 26x12.00-12) enhances traction on varied terrain, yet care must be taken on steeper gradients where weight distribution becomes critical.
