Bobcat Company has expanded its Model Year 15 utility vehicle lineup, introducing the new 3600 and 3650 hydrostatic-drive models. The Bobcat 3600 features the capability for attachments like a 72-inch-wide snow blade and has a sprayer mounted in the UTV cargo box. The 3650 features the capability for attachments like a front-mounted bucket, grapple, pallet fork and snow blade along with front-mounted PTO attachments of an angle broom, mower and snowblower. The 3650 takes utility vehicle versatility to a new level with the ability to operate front-mounted power-take-off (PTO) and non-PTO attachments. Bobcat says that both vehicles can handle and haul more materials, which is ideal for tasks that require repetitive back and forth movements.

The M.A.X. system provides integration and versatility not found on ordinary utility vehicles, Bobcat points out. The 3650 has the capability of powering front-mounted PTO-driven attachments, including an angle broom, mower and snowblower, as well as non-PTO attachments such as a bucket, grapple, pallet fork and snow blade. Seven attachments, combined with a maximum lift height of 2 feet and rated lift capacity of 500 pounds, allow the 3650 to excel at tasks such as personal property maintenance, clearing snow and moving palletized materials.
For even more productivity, a 60-gallon sprayer accessory can be mounted in the utility vehicle cargo box. The cargo box’s composite material makes it more durable than metallic boxes in order to handle tough loads, retain strength and look good for years.
For better attachment control, operators can utilize the throttle independent of the travel control pedal. This feature allows operators to set the engine speed with a throttle rather than having to use the accelerator pedal to increase engine rpm. Separating the two functions gives operators the freedom to run powered attachments more efficiently with the rpm they require yet at low travel speeds.
