BOBCAT CT235 ENGINE
The Bobcat CT235 tractor is powered by a Daedong 1.6L, 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing a compact yet efficient power-to-weight ratio suitable for diverse tasks. With a 7.9-gallon (29.9 L) fuel tank, it offers extended operational time, making it advantageous for longer jobs without frequent refueling. However, its smaller engine size may limit higher power outputs for heavy-duty applications, which must be considered based on intended use scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Bobcat CT235 features a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for seamless speed control and ease of operation, which is ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as loader work or landscape maintenance. With infinite forward and reverse gears across three ranges, the tractor provides versatility and adaptability for varying terrain and workloads. However, users should be aware that hydrostatic systems can have higher maintenance demands and potential fluid-related issues compared to traditional gear-driven tractors.

MECHANICAL
The Bobcat CT235 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrains, which is beneficial for heavy-duty tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering combined with a hydrostatic transmission offers smooth operation and ease of control, making it ideal for operators requiring precision in tight spaces. The optional climate-controlled cab enhances comfort during prolonged use, though its availability may increase initial cost.

BOBCAT CT235 TIRES
The Bobcat CT235 tractor features versatile tire options that enhance its performance across agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications. The combination of 7x14 Ag front and 11.24x24 rear tires provides ample traction for fieldwork, whereas the 27x8.5-15 lawn/turf variant allows for minimal ground disturbance, ideal for maintaining landscaped areas. However, selecting the appropriate tire type is crucial; while Ag tires excel in farming conditions, turf tires may compromise traction in muddy scenarios, and industrial tires are better suited for hard surfaces, potentially leading to a trade-off on softer terrain efficiency.
