ENGINE DETAIL

The Bobcat CT445 utilizes a 2.2 L Daedong diesel engine, delivering 45 hp, which provides a balance of power and efficiency for various agricultural tasks. Its liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder configuration ensures optimal thermal management and durability under heavy loads. Ideal for small to medium-scale operations, the CT445's size and horsepower offer maneuverability and versatility, although power may be limited for larger, more demanding implements.

Displacement	134.3 ci/2.2 L
Power	45 hp/33.6 kW

BOBCAT CT445 ENGINE

The Bobcat CT445 is equipped with a Daedong 2.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency for various agricultural tasks. Its 11.9-gallon fuel tank allows for extended operational time between refuels, which is advantageous for larger fields but may require careful management of fuel consumption. However, the relatively smaller engine displacement may limit power output compared to larger models, which could affect performance in more demanding applications.

Fuel tank	11.9 gal/45.0 L

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Bobcat CT445 features a hydrostatic transmission that offers seamless speed adjustment, ideal for varied terrain and loader work, contributing to greater operator efficiency. Its 12-speed shuttle allows for rapid direction changes without the need to disengage the transmission, facilitating smoother operation when maneuvering in tight spaces. However, operators should be aware of the potential for increased maintenance compared to mechanical transmissions and consider the implications for repair costs and downtime.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Bobcat CT445 features a hydrostatic transmission system, allowing for seamless speed adjustments and efficient operation in varying conditions. Its infinite gear range (3-range forward and infinite reverse) provides operator flexibility for tasks requiring precise speed control or quick maneuvers, making it highly suitable for both agricultural and landscaping applications. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems can lead to increased maintenance needs and potential repair costs over time.

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

TRANSMISSION 2

The Bobcat CT445 features a shuttle shift transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for enhanced maneuverability and quick direction changes, ideal for tasks requiring frequent back-and-forth movement. This type of transmission offers smoother shifting and better control compared to standard gear systems, making it advantageous for loader work and other intensive applications. However, operators may face a learning curve when adapting to the shuttle operation, especially if accustomed to traditional gear shifting.

Type	shuttle
Gears	12 forward and reverse
Description	The shuttle shift option was added in 2010 with the CT445SST.

MECHANICAL

The Bobcat CT445 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD chassis providing enhanced traction and stability on varied terrains, making it ideal for agriculture and landscaping applications. Its hydrostatic power steering offers effortless maneuverability, while the differential wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power under heavy loading conditions. The available cab with climate control enhances operator comfort for extended use, although it may add weight, potentially affecting ground pressure in soft soil scenarios.

BOBCAT CT445 TIRES

The Bobcat CT445 tractor offers versatile tire options, enabling operators to tailor performance based on specific tasks—agricultural, lawn care, or industrial use. The selection of agricultural tires (8x16 front and 13.6x24 rear) provides optimal traction for fieldwork, while lawn/turf tires (29x12.5-15 front and 21.5Lx16.1 rear) minimize ground disturbance for landscaping. However, transitioning between tire types requires attention to load capacity and stability across different terrains to maximize the tractor's efficiency and avoid potential overload scenarios.

Ag front	8x16
Ag rear	13.6x24
Lawn/turf front	29x12.5-15
Lawn/turf rear	21.5Lx16.1
Industrial front	10x16.5
Industrial rear	14.9x24

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Bobcat CT445 tractor features a wheelbase of 73.8 inches, providing a balanced platform for stability, particularly in rough terrain, while weighing between 3881 to 4260 pounds enhances its traction and load-bearing capacity. The front tire size of 8x16 and rear tire 13.6x24 contribute to improved flotation and maneuverability, making it suitable for various tasks, from landscaping to light agricultural use. However, the relatively small tire dimensions may limit its performance in very soft or muddy conditions, necessitating careful consideration of operating environments.
