Bobcat Co. is ringing in 2019 with changes to its standard and extended compact equipment warranty offerings. Effective Jan. 1, select Bobcat equipment purchased after Jan. 1 is covered by a 2-year/2,0000-hour standard warranty. The new warranty covers either two years or 2,000 hours of equipment use, whichever occurs first.

Equipment covered under the new standard warranty includes all Bobcat skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, all-wheel-steer loaders and compact excavator models. Bobcat equipment purchased through Dec. 31, 2018, will be covered under the 2018 standard warranty of 12 months with unlimited hours of usage.

In addition to the standard warranty updates, Bobcat Co. is expanding its extended warranty offering with options out to 60 months and 5,000 hours of coverage. Beyond the addition of new plans, a third coverage option is now available: The “Powertrain + Hydraulics” option will be the newest extended warranty coverage option to go along with the current “Powertrain” and “Full” coverage options.

“As a company dedicated to the highest standard of compact equipment quality and durability, we are excited to announce our expanded warranty options,” said Chad Kapfer, extended warranty manager at Bobcat. “We constantly search for new ways to serve our customers, and the updated warranty options provide great value to all Bobcat equipment enthusiasts.”
