The Bobcat 2000 is a compact articulating wheel loader produced between 1981 and 1987, designed for versatile material handling and construction applications. Powered by a 54-horsepower 4-cylinder diesel engine with 153.9 cubic inches of displacement, this machine delivers efficient performance at 2600 rpm. The hydrostatic transmission provides smooth operation with forward speeds up to 10 mph and reverse speeds of 5 mph, enabling responsive maneuverability on job sites. The hydraulic system features a 21.5 gallon-per-minute pump capacity with a 2450 psi relief valve setting, supporting robust lifting operations. With a 1,800-pound static tipping weight and operating weight ranging from 7,175 to 7,625 pounds depending on model year, the 2000 offers balanced stability and transportability. The 5.6-foot bucket width accommodates standard material volumes, while the reach at maximum lift and dump extends 2.2 feet. Dimensionally, the machine measures 13.6 feet in length with bucket on ground, 7.8 feet to cab top, and maintains a 4.9-foot wheelbase for enhanced articulation. Ground clearance of 0.7 feet allows operation in confined spaces, while the 10.0x16.5 tire size provides adequate traction and load distribution. The hinge pin reaches 10.2 feet at maximum height, enabling loading into elevated containers. This model represents a reliable mid-range loader suitable for landscaping, material processing, and light construction work.
