Bobcat
West Fargo, N.D.
T320 Compact Track Loader
The new Bobcat T320 compact track loader features a significantly larger engine and a 3,200-pound rated operating capacity, making it the largest compact track loader manufactured by Bobcat. Its 92-horsepower, liquid-cooled diesel engine means it has more horsepower to perform better in nearly every application. In addition, the track system provides extra traction, reduced ground pressure and low ground disturbance, with superior flotation to extend contractors' work seasons. The machine's 18-inch-wide rubber tracks produce just 4.2 psi of ground pressure. The T320 has a lift height of 10 feet 9 inches that follows a vertical lift path, allowing it to load and unload easily. For more information, visit www.bobcat.com.
