Bobcat, West Fargo, N.D., is offering selectable joystick controls with two-speed travel on its S100 and T110 loaders. Operators have the choice of ISO or H-pattern controls to meet the needs of various operators. The company says this is ideal for fleet owners with numerous operators, large equipment operators who are downsizing to compact equipment or equipment rental centers. The control pattern is easily switchable from within the cab of the loader, the company adds.
According to the company, two-speed travel boosts top travel speed on the S100 skid-steer loader by 33 percent and by 61 percent on the T110 compact track loader. The maximum travel speed of the S100 skid-steer loader is 6.4 mph in the low range and 8.7 mph in the high range. The maximum travel speed on the T110 compact track loader is 5.2 mph in the low range and 8.4 mph in the high range. Bobcat says operators can now shift on the fly from low to high range.
Machines with the controls have horsepower and speed management systems. The speed management system allows the operator to precisely match the speed of the loader to the operation of an attachment without constantly adjusting the joystick. The horsepower management system automatically adjusts the drive system to maximize pushing and digging power and minimize stalling.
