Bobcat Company debuted the Bobcat AT450 articulating tractor in a June 19 press release as an addition to its grounds maintenance product portfolio. The AT450 features a 32 horsepower liquid-cooled engine.

"The tractor’s articulating and oscillating frame keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground—even on rough, uneven terrain—which helps limit surface disturbance during turns," the press release said. "The AT450 can navigate slopes as steep as 30 degrees, with attachments following the ground contour for professional results in one pass."

Bobcat gave the following AT450 specifications:

  • Engine: WG972

  • Fuel Type: Gasoline   
  • Horsepower (Gross): 32.5 hp

  • Cooling: Liquid   
  • Fuel Capacity: 7 gal   
  • Charging: 40 amp
