THE MELROE BOBCAT
America's number
Versatility makes the difference. No other compact loader can beat the Bobcat loader's performance record on construction sites or at handling materials. Bobcat loaders come with a variety of job-mated attachments that you can change in seconds without leaving the machine. Bobcat loaders work where other machines can't maneuver-pivot in their own length with fingertip control of positive 4-wheel drive traction. They free men and heavy equipment from costly, time-consuming jobs that cut deep into profits.
The powerful M-970 Bobcat. Featuring completely new design and operating concept from the ground up, the M-970 gives big unit performance with small unit agility and cost. It's a one-yard capacity loader designed to bridge the gap between the compacts and expensive heavy units. The M-970 gives you a choice of gas or diesel engines to power maintenance-free hydrostatic transmissions for smooth 4-wheel drive traction. Available now with Bobtach system buckets, fork lift, and the most powerful backhoe in the 14-foot class!
The proven M-600 Bobcat. Contractors have listed 32 specific jobs where this agile unit earns its keep. Here's why. The Bobcat hauls half-ton loads, dumps over 8-feet high, fits under 6-foot overheads and through 5-foot spaces, and rides from job to job in a pickup truck. Nineteen Bobtach system attachments cut hand labor costs and beat contract deadlines. There isn't a more reliable machine on the market.
Imagineered for top performance. Melroe Bobcat loaders are designed for operator comfort, safety and ease of operation. Rugged welded frames defy twisting-bucket visibility is excellent -simple controls give instant response for speed and direction changes.
