Bobcat has unveiled a newly configured grader system designed to handle complex construction and landscaping projects that demand high positional accuracy. The system is engineered to work with both GPS and UTS technologies, allowing operators to complete advanced design layouts with consistent precision in the 3 to 5 millimeter range.
This configuration is aimed at contractors working on detailed grading tasks where accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency directly affect project timelines and costs. By integrating positioning technology into the grader setup, Bobcat positions the solution as a ready-to-go option for modern digital job sites.
Bobcat T86 Platform Delivers Power and Stability for Precision Grading
The grader system is mounted on the front of the Bobcat T86 compact track loader, a platform known for its high pushing power and stability. This combination allows operators to maintain consistent blade control even under demanding material conditions, improving finish quality on complex surfaces.
The front-mounted design ensures clear visibility of the grading edge, supporting precise adjustments during operation and reducing rework on final passes.
Advanced Operator Features Improve Control and Safety
The system includes a range of operator-focused features designed to enhance comfort, safety, and jobsite awareness. These include Superflow Hydraulics for smooth and responsive control, Ride Control for improved stability during transport, and a Clearview Cab that maximizes visibility around the machine.
Additional elements such as ground safety perimeter lighting and a touchscreen display contribute to safer operation and simplified system management, especially on busy or low-light job sites. Together, these features support longer operating hours with reduced fatigue and higher productivity.
Designed for Modern Digital Construction Workflows
With built-in compatibility for 2D and 3D grading systems, the new Bobcat grader configuration aligns with the growing adoption of digital design files and machine guidance on construction sites. Contractors can transition from design to execution more efficiently, minimizing manual setup and measurement errors.
This approach reflects a broader shift toward connected, data-driven earthmoving solutions that prioritize accuracy and repeatable results.
