ENGINE DETAIL

The Bobcat CT5555 is powered by a Daedong 3FT turbocharged three-cylinder diesel engine, providing 55 hp at a rated RPM of 2600, which ensures efficient performance for various agricultural and landscaping tasks. With a displacement of 1.8L and Tier 4 emissions compliance, it balances power with environmental regulations; however, the turbocharger may introduce potential maintenance challenges related to boost pressure management. This tractor's electric starter (12 volts) enhances reliability in cold weather, making it suitable for year-round operations across diverse terrains.

BOBCAT CT5555 ENGINE

The Bobcat CT5555, powered by a Daedong 1.8L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers efficient fuel consumption with a 14.8-gallon (56.0L) tank, enhancing operational duration for extensive tasks. Its compact size makes it suitable for maneuvering in tight spaces, though the smaller engine may limit power in more demanding applications. Users should consider the trade-off between agility and torque, especially in heavy-duty scenarios.

TRANSMISSION

The Bobcat CT5555 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control with infinite forward and reverse gear options, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. This design reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use, ideal for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as landscaping or loading operations. However, the hydrostatic system may be less efficient in heavy towing scenarios compared to gear-driven tractors, potentially impacting fuel consumption and power delivery.

Gears infinite forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Bobcat CT5555 features a 4x4 MFWD design, providing superior traction and stability across varying terrain, making it ideal for agricultural and landscaping applications. Its hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth and effortless drive control, particularly in tight spaces, though it may have a steeper learning curve compared to gear-driven systems. The inclusion of a standard air-conditioned cab enhances operator comfort during extended work hours, but may add to the overall maintenance complexity.
