BOBCAT CT122 ENGINE

The Bobcat CT122 is powered by a Daedong 1.0L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a compact and efficient powertrain suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 5.3 gallons (20.1 liters), the tractor provides reasonable operational time before refueling, beneficial for light to moderate fieldwork. However, the limited engine displacement may pose challenges for heavy-duty applications, potentially affecting productivity in more demanding scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Bobcat CT122 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, offering seamless speed adjustment and ease of operation with infinite (2-range) forward and infinite reverse gearing. This allows for precise control in various applications, enhancing productivity in tasks such as mowing or loader work. However, hydrostatic systems can be less fuel-efficient compared to gear-driven alternatives, potentially leading to higher operational costs over time.

BOBCAT CT122 TIRES

The Bobcat CT122 tractor features versatile tire options, allowing for optimized performance across agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications. The agricultural tires (6x12 front and 9.5x16 rear) provide enhanced traction and stability for farming tasks, while the lawn/turf tires (23x8.5-12 front and 33x12.5-16.5 rear) minimize ground disturbance—ideal for landscaping and maintenance scenarios. On the other hand, the industrial tires (23x8.5-12 front and 12-16.5 rear) ensure durability and support heavy loads, crucial in construction or material handling contexts, but could compromise ride comfort on softer surfaces.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Bobcat CT122 features a compact wheelbase of 57.9 inches, promoting maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for landscaping or small farm tasks. Weighing 2,056 lbs, it provides stability during operation, but may struggle with traction in soft soil or muddy conditions due to its lighter weight compared to larger tractors. The specified tire sizes (6x12 front and 9.5x16 rear) enhance its ability to navigate varied terrains, but users should consider upgrading to wider tires for improved flotation and grip in challenging environments.
