A key advantage of utility tractors is their ability to work with a wide range of attachments and implements. Bale forks, tillers, box blades, angle blades, flex wing rotary cutters and tine rakes are just a few examples of attachments and implements that can be paired with utility tractors to meet specific needs. This versatility allows operators to transition seamlessly between tasks, improving efficiency and productivity year-round.
Bobcat recently introduced three new utility tractors — the UT6066, UT6566 and UT6573. These models are built for heavy-duty applications and are designed to help users of all experience levels accomplish more on their properties. The Bobcat utility tractors come standard with a 12x12 power shuttle transmission. The attachment and implement versatility of these machines makes them ideal for various applications, whether you're cutting hay, clearing snow, feeding livestock, seeding food plots or handling materials. Now, let's specifically explore some of the most popular implements that make utility tractors so dynamic:
Implements
Brush Grapple: Brush grapples are lightweight but tough, using more of your tractor's lift capacity to lift and handle material. This attachment can coax out buried roots, branches and other material with its below-grade capability.
Pallet Fork: Operators move bulky, bagged or palletized material quickly and easily with a pallet fork attachment. Ideal for landscaping work, construction sites, farm chores, fertilizer handling and municipal projects, pallet forks are built for loading and unloading, lifting and carrying, moving and placing material.
Snow Blade: Snow blades remove light or moderate snow from sidewalks, driveways and parking lots. Its high-carbon steel cutting edge comes standard, and the trip moldboard reduces potential impact damage from obstructions. Fingertip controls make it easy to configure they hydraulically operated blade.
Bale Fork: The 3-point bale fork mounts to a standard or heavy-duty pallet fork attachment frame to handle a variety of bale shapes, including round, square or uneven.
Flex Wing Rotary Cutter: A flex wing rotary cutter is used for roadside and highway mowing, clearing overgrown fields, pasture and ranch maintenance and more. Its wide-cutting capability spans from 12 to 15 ft., depending on the model, and can clear brush and trees up to 3 in. in diameter.
84-in. Tiller: Tear through clumps and hardened materials with the new 84-in. tiller attachment. It's built for soil preparation and quickly turns a backyard plot into a soil bed.
84-in. and 96-in. Box Blades: These rear-mount box blades offer versatility for leveling, backfilling, grading and moving various aggregates. Their cutting edges are strong enough to retain gravel, topsoil or other material and they feature adjustable and replaceable ripper shanks to break up hard ground or compacted soil for easier movement.
96-in. Angle Blade: An angle blade is excellent for leveling, backfilling, grading and removing snow. This implement does not require power take off (PTO), can rotate 360 degrees and angles to move material from either side of the machine.
96-in. Tine Rake: Streamline lawn preparation and gravel surface maintenance with the new 96-in. tine rake. Quickly collect debris, smooth lawns and remove unwanted materials like rocks, roots, hay, weeds and leaves. Easily adjust the 3-point rake angle to control debris movement.
Features
Modern utility tractors can come equipped with features that enhance their performance in challenging conditions, making them especially useful in winter or spring. Bright LED headlights illuminate the job for evening work and other low-light conditions, and additional LED work lights on the front and rear provide extra illumination and visibility for the work at hand. Four-wheel drive provides superior traction on wet or soft terrain, ensuring stability and control after heavy snow or rainfall.
Climate controlled cabs provide comfort no matter the weather conditions. Some utility tractor models may also feature wide glass panels, visibility to the 3-point hitch, power and tilt steering and ergonomic controls thoughtfully laid out to enhance operator performance and minimize fatigue.
Reliable Choice
Utility tractors' efficiency, durability and comfort make them a valuable asset on your farm, acreage or job site. When paired with high-quality attachments, these machines deliver exceptional performance and help operators complete their jobs quickly and effectively — no matter the season.
