2025 Bobcat® L255

L255 Features & Benefits High-Production Lifting Capacities With its large bucket capacity, each cycle takes a major bite from massive tasks. Large, durable axles optimize lift capacity to move more material in less time. Three Transmission Modes Customize your performance with three powerful transmission modes*. Manual provides precise speed control. Auto 1-4 automatically shifts up and down depending on the task. As you demand more speed, it shifts up; when you need more power and torque, it shifts down. Auto 2-4 with manual kickdown shifts automatically in gear 2 through gear 4, with a manual downshift into first gear. This provides great performance and flexibility for lighter-duty work. *Not available on the L205 Three Power Modes Power, normal and economy modes give you more ability to customize the Bobcat loader’s performance to match the job – whether your priority is power or fuel economy. Power mode gives you the highest performance to quickly load and carry material, with fast travel from point to point. Normal mode covers a wide variety of everyday work conditions while enhancing your fuel efficiency. Economy mode keeps fuel consumption to a minimum while reducing engine sound levels – so you can complete light-duty tasks in maximum comfort. Fast, Responsive Travel With planetary drives to transfer torque to the wheels, Bobcat wheel loaders provides high travel speeds and impressive torque. High travel speeds mean less need for trailering when moving between jobsites. A variable geometric turbocharger generates more torque and a quicker response at low rpm, giving you a precise, satisfying response when you push the accelerator. L205: 23.6 mph L235: 24.2 mph L255: 23.3 mph L285: 22.1 mph Powershift Transmission The automatic powershift torque converter transmission makes operation easy, maximizes productivity and saves fuel during demanding load-and-carry work (not available on the L205). On-Screen Operation Tips Enhance operation with feedback that helps to improve productivity. The wheel loader operation tips are generated in response to actual operator driving habits – ensuring that feedback is relevant and helpful. Automatic Ride Control Automatic ride control detects when you’re carrying material and cushions the load to reduce spillage. Lift Arm Float The lift arm float allows the bucket to follow ground contours for fast backdragging, efficient snow removal and other tasks. Lift Kickout Set a maximum lift height and work easily in areas with height restrictions, such as under bridges, building entries or indoors. Inching Control This setting allows for slow and fine movements for maneuvering in tight spaces or around corners. Tight Turning Radius With Oscillating Frame Bobcat large wheel loaders have an articulation joint that delivers a tight turning radius for high maneuverability in obstacle-filled jobsites. Powerful Tier 4 Engine More power. More torque. More work done. The powerful Tier 4 engine is turbo-charged for consistent performance at all elevations. The high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel delivery system and cooled exhaust gas recirculation work with aftertreatment systems to fully meet Tier 4 requirements. Tier 4 aftertreatment technologies include diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and selective catalyst reduction (SCR) with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The L205 also requires a diesel particulate filter (DPF). High Traction and Pushing Power A limited-slip differential gives torque to the wheel with the most traction, powering you through tough ground and generating unbeatable pushing power. Differential Lock With the differential lock, operators can lock the front wheels together to improve performance in slippery conditions or maximize power as you push the bucket into material. Z-Bar Linkage The Z-bar linkage design of Bobcat wheel loaders enables heavy lifting and loading, fast bucket movement, excellent breakout forces, and easy bucket angle positioning. Auto Idle Standard auto-idle reduces engine rpm when the steering whe
