TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Bobcat CT2040 tractor features a 9-speed transmission combined with hydrostatic drive, providing operators with precise speed control and efficient power management. This setup allows for seamless transitions between speeds, which is advantageous in varied work conditions such as mowing, tilling, or hauling. However, hydrostatic systems may require more maintenance and potentially deliver lower fuel efficiency compared to traditional gear systems under continuous heavy load conditions.

Description

9-speed gear/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Bobcat CT2040 features a gear transmission with a total of 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, offering versatility for various terrain applications and tasks. The extensive number of forward gears enhances operator control over speed and power delivery, facilitating efficient handling of diverse attachments or implements. However, the mechanical complexity of a gear transmission may require more maintenance compared to hydrostatic options, which could be a consideration for users prioritizing low upkeep.

Type	gear
Gears	9 forward and 3 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Bobcat CT2040 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite gear selection across three ranges, providing precise control and seamless transitions between speeds. This design enhances maneuverability for tasks like farming or landscaping, but may lead to increased fuel consumption compared to traditional gear-driven systems. Ideal for operators who prioritize ease of use and versatility, this tractor efficiently handles diverse applications while minimizing operator fatigue.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Bobcat CT2040 features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction and stability in diverse terrains, crucial for agricultural tasks. Its wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power and reduced maintenance needs compared to traditional braking systems. The 9-speed gear/hydrostatic transmission allows for versatile speed control, making it suitable for both heavy-duty applications and precise maneuvering in tight spaces.

BOBCAT CT2040 TIRES

The Bobcat CT2040 tractor offers versatility in tire options, providing standard agricultural tires for enhanced traction in field applications and lawn/turf or industrial tires tailored for specific terrain usage. The standard ag tires (Front: 7-16, Rear: 11.2-24) are ideal for heavy-duty tasks like tilling, while the turf tires minimize ground disturbance on sensitive surfaces. Consider potential trade-offs; turf tires maximize maneuverability and comfort for landscaping, but may compromise stability in rugged, uneven terrain compared to the standard agricultural options.

Standard tires (ag)	Front: 7-16. Rear: 11.2-24
Lawn/turf front	28x8.5-15
Lawn/turf rear	41x14-20
Industrial front	27x8.5-15
Industrial rear	15-19.5
