Bobcat Company Launches its Most Powerful Mini Track Loader: The MT120
Bobcat Co. introduces the MT120, its most powerful mini-track-loader with increased operating capacity and industry-leading lift height and reach performance.
“The Bobcat MT120 packs more performance into a small, highly maneuverable machine so operators can lift more weight, carry more material and accomplish more tasks—big and small,” said Katie Redenius, senior product manager, Bobcat Co.
Powered by a 1.2-liter, non-diesel particulate filter engine, the MT120 delivers robust breakout forces and a maximum-rated operating capacity of 1,200 pounds. The powerful, high-torque engine, optimum machine balance, fast travel speeds and smooth pilot controls all work together to deliver fast cycle times for peak productivity.
At slightly less than 36 inches wide, the MT120 is designed for work in confined workspaces. With low ground pressure of 3.9 psi with optional 11-inch tracks or 4.3 psi with standard 9.1-inch tracks, operators can achieve optimal flotation for greater performance on soft ground and travel over established surfaces with minimal disturbance.
Owners and operators also get value and jobsite versatility with the MT120’s lift height of 88 inches and reach of 22 inches.
The integrated, ride-on platform provides an optimum vantage point to the bucket’s cutting edge or attachment, as well as to the sides of the machine. Operators can quickly become proficient with pilot controls that deliver smooth and precise movement.
Low cost of ownership
The MT120 offer low- and no-maintenance features that save customers time and money include the non-DPF engine, a direct-drive system that eliminates belts, maintenance-free rollers and idlers, and maintenance-free bushings.
With durable construction, innovative design and numerous low- and no-maintenance features, the Bobcat MT120 is designed to offer a low cost of ownership.
Attachment versatility
Bobcat mini track loaders do more than load, lift and carry. With more than 20 compatible attachment categories, operators can use their MT120 for digging, clearing brush, hauling loose and palleted materials, ground preparation, sweeping, pushing and blowing snow, utility installation, breaking up and removing concrete, trenching and much more.
20 years of mini track loaders
Bobcat is a leader in the mini track loader market. The company introduced its first mini track loader in 2002, and more than 20 years later, its teams continue to develop new enhancements to the product offering to help customers get more work done on compact worksites.
The MT120 joins the Bobcat MT100, which is part of a broader range of loader options from Bobcat including skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, small articulated loaders and compact wheel loaders.
The MT120 will be available at Bobcat dealerships in the U.S. and Canada in Q2 2025.
