BOBCAT COMPACT TRACTOR — CT2540

Get power and comfort with the CT2540 compact tractor’s 40-hp engine and fully enclosed cab for working on hot summer days and in harsh, cold weather. From moving snow to planting a food plot or digging holes for trees and fences, this tractor can get more done with its Category 1 three-point hitch for use with a variety of implements. The easy-to-use, responsive 3-Range hydrostatic transmission means you’ll spend less time moving from one point to another, because every second counts when you have work to get done. Make light work of front-end loader tasks with the integrated loader joystick lever. The CT3540 comes standard with rear PTO, with optional mid-PTO. Engage the standard four-wheel drive when you need extra, hard-working traction, but still require the maneuverability for working in tight areas.

PERFORMANCE

INDEPENDENT PTO

Independent power take-off (PTO) allows you to simply flip a switch to engage or disengage the PTO without stopping the tractor or using the clutch. This comes in handy for tasks that require frequent stopping and restarting of your implement, including moving from one hole to the next as you use the auger.

POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO)

Till your garden and plant a spring food plot. Clear weeds from the ditches and pastures. Dig holes for fence posts or trees in all types of soil conditions. Mow your acreage in an afternoon. You can do it all with power take-off (PTO). Rear PTO is standard on all Bobcat compact tractors, and mid PTO is standard on select models and optional on all other models except on 4000 Platform models with a manual transmission. PTO coupled with the three-point hitch allows you to operate numerous implements with ease.

THREE-POINT HITCH

The three-point hitch transforms your Bobcat tractor into a do-it-all machine to mow, till, grade a driveway, rake debris and weeds, move snow, and more. It’s compatible with all Category 1 implements and includes features that make it easy to hook up implements.

THREE TIRE OPTIONS

Different jobs require different tires to ensure you're getting the best performance from your tractor. Bobcat offers three tire options available for all Bobcat compact tractor models to match the work they do.

• Agricultural Tires: These tough tractor tires have deep lugs for optimal traction and self-cleaning in soft soil and mud. They also deliver more power to the ground when towing heavy loads or pulling implements.

• Turf Tires: Designed with less aggressive tread that minimizes disturbance on lush lawns and established landscaping when using your compact tractor.

• Industrial Tires: Provide long wear and outstanding protection against punctures. The tread is wider than agricultural tires, and lugs are deeper than turf tires. They deliver great traction for all ground conditions and many different applications.

MAXIMUM MANEUVERABILITY

Every day brings a new challenge on the farm or acreage. Bobcat compact tractors offer maximum maneuverability to take on those challenges. Dimensionally well balanced with a tight turning radius – as little as 8 feet, depending on the model – your Bobcat compact tractor is engineered to feel powerful and capable while being responsive to your control. A high minimum ground clearance enables you to keep working in uneven terrain and in wet, muddy conditions, and top travel speeds as high as 18.5 mph (depending on the model) help you cut travel time and focus on your work. The stable wheelbase maximizes towing capacity and optimally distributes weight to each wheel for more stability on hilly terrain. Select models also include steering brakes to assist in maintaining a tight turning radius, nearly pivoting the tractor on the inside wheel. (Available on models CT2025 and up, depending on transmission type).

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

A hard-working tractor needs hard-working traction. All Bobcat compact tractors offer four-wheel drive so you can easily engage the system whenever the work demands it.

ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)

A ROPS, standard on all non-cab models, is designed to protect the operator in the event of a rollover (when the ROPS is locked in the up position and the seatbelt is fastened). The foldable ROPS can be temporarily lowered when driving under trees, into garages or in other low-clearance areas.

LEADING LIFT CAPACITY

Count on excellent lift capacities to increase your implement capabilities and improve your performance. Many Bobcat tractors offer the highest three-point hitch lift capacity in their size.

MANUAL-SHIFT TRANSMISSION

This is the classic tractor transmission that many remember from growing up on the farm. The manual-shift transmission is an economical and reliable choice that requires you to stop to change between nine forward gears and three reverse gears. It works well for jobs that require constant speed, including mowing, tilling or spraying. It efficiently handles PTO-demanding work. Second and reverse gears are synchronized to facilitate loader usage – though it’s not recommended if you intend to do a lot of digging and loading.

HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION (3-RANGE HST)

The hydrostatic transmission (3-range HST) uses hydraulic pressure to change speed, operating similar to a vehicle. You'll only need to stop moving if you want to change your range. It’s a good choice for frequent front-end loader work such as cleaning stalls, mowing or maneuvering in tight areas. A simple twin-pedal design enables quick and easy direction changes: One pedal moves you forward, the other moves you in reverse. Its ease of operation also makes it a good choice for novice drivers.

COMFORT

OPERATOR-FRIENDLY CONTROLS

Bobcat compact tractors are designed to be easy to use with controls that help you do more work with less effort. Intuitive control levers are easy to use, and extras like power steering, cruise control and more help you operate the tractor and implements with confidence.

WORK LIGHTS

Work lights on Bobcat compact tractors give you the visibility you need to keep going. Bright headlights illuminate the work in front of you, giving you high visibility in low light conditions. The LED tail lamp with a long bulb life makes sure you’re seen from behind as you travel around your acreage, trails or back roads.

PREMIUM COMFORT

Bobcat compact tractors are loaded with comfort features and easy-to-use controls so you can put in as many hours as you want without feeling it the next day. All of the controls, gauges and buttons are laid out ergonomically with operator ease of use in mind. An illuminated dashboard allows you to operate and easily monitor performance in all light conditions. Fender grips on each side of the tractor – on select machines – make it easy to get in and out of the tractor. The deluxe suspension seat on select models absorbs any vibration and bumps you experience while working, fully adjust to accommodates every operator, and includes a foldable armrest for extra comfort and support when you need it. The tractor’s engine is designed to produce low noise levels with minimal vibration. Plus, an optional rubber floor mat dampens vibrations even more to help you work hard without feeling like you did. These features, and extras like an adjustable seat belt and cup holder make these machines easy to use and easy to enjoy.

LINKED PEDAL LEVER OPTION

The linked pedal option is available on tractor models starting at the 2000 Platform and above that have a hydrostatic or electronic hydrostatic transmission to increase engine rpm as you engage the travel pedal, for operation that feels similar to driving a car. This makes for intuitive front-end loader control and enhances the ease of use on a variety of other jobs.

DELUXE SUSPENSION SEAT

A comfortable seat helps you stay in the tractor longer without feeling beat up at the end of the day. The deluxe suspension seat, available on select Bobcat compact tractors, absorbs the vibration and bumps you experience on the job, maximizing your comfort. It’s fully adjustable to accommodate every operator and includes a foldable armrest on the right-hand side for extra comfort and support when you need it. So, go ahead, finish the mowing, clean out the barn, plant a few trees or clear out one more pasture. You’ll be comfortable no matter how long you stay out there.

DELUXE ENCLOSED CAB

Climb in the factory-install enclosed cab, close the door and enjoy maximum comfort whether you’re mowing in the heat of summer or moving snow on a cold winter morning. Heat and air conditioning come standard with the radio-ready cab so you can perform tasks comfortably year-round. The wide glass panels and optimized view angles of the cab offer a panoramic view. A rear window view of the three-point hitch ensures that you can monitor tractor implement and attachment performance without having to frequently step out of the cab. Rear wiper and defroster comes standard with select cab-equipped Bobcat tractors.
