12 models · $15,086–$56,291 · 21–57.7 hp
Bobcat fields 12 tractors on this list, smallest first. The one that buys the most PTO horsepower per dollar is the Bobcat CT4050 at 1.4 PTO hp per $1,000. The biggest loader figure is 2,346 lbs, on the Bobcat CT5545, the Bobcat CT5550, the Bobcat CT5555 and the Bobcat CT5558 — they share a loader, measured at max height.
Bobcat
Bobcat's cheapest way into a diesel tractor is a Daedong-built sub-compact: 21 hp, 16.3 PTO hp, 46 in across, and a published starting price of $15,086. The 608 lb loader rating is what pays for that number.

Bobcat
Same 1000-platform chassis and same 608 lb loader as the CT1021, but with 24.5 hp and 18.8 PTO hp - Bobcat pushing to the top of the sub-compact bracket while the engine still stays clear of a particulate filter. Starts at $17,205.

Bobcat
Moving up to the 2000 platform more than doubles the loader rating - 1,369 lb at max height against the 1000 platform's 608 - on a 1.65 L Daedong three-cylinder that is still under 25 hp. The 9x3 manual build starts at $20,760, the three-range hydrostatic at $22,524.

Bobcat
A 34.9 hp Daedong three-cylinder dropped into the same 2000-platform chassis as the CT2025, which means ten more engine horsepower and almost no change in what the loader or hitch can lift. $28,653 in open station; the CT2535 adds a heated, air-conditioned cab at $41,173.

Bobcat
At 39.6 hp it tops the 2000 platform for only $762 more than the 34.9 hp CT2035 beneath it - the cheapest way to nearly 40 hp that Bobcat publishes. Every loader, hitch and hydraulic figure is shared with the smaller models in the platform.

Bobcat
50.3 hp and 45.6 PTO hp for a published $32,608 - less than the 44.9 hp CT4045 costs, because this one is sold with the 8x8 synchro shuttle as its base build rather than a hydrostatic. It is the most PTO power per dollar Bobcat lists.

Bobcat
The 4000 platform is where Bobcat's tractors finally get a turbocharger, 16.5 gpm of hydraulics and a 2,716 lb hitch - a real jump in capability rather than another engine swap into the same frame. Base hydrostatic build starts at $34,400.

Bobcat
57.7 hp squeezed out of the same 111 cu in turbo Daedong three-cylinder that powers the whole 4000 platform, and hydrostatic only - there is no gear option at the top of the range. $41,048 open station, $49,846 for the CT4558 cab.

Bobcat
Bobcat's 5000 platform starts here, where the enclosed cab is standard rather than an $11,000 option and the loader jumps to 2,346 lb at max height. 45 hp is the least power offered here, which is why it is also the cheapest cab tractor Bobcat lists at $46,887.

Bobcat
Second of four horsepower steps on the 5000 platform, all of which share one chassis, one loader and one cab. Five more engine horsepower than the CT5545 buys five more at the PTO for $2,927, which is the whole argument for this middle step.

Bobcat
43.1 PTO hp behind a standard cab, and the only 5000-platform model whose page lists a mid-PTO speed - 2,103 rpm - so a belly-mount attachment stays possible at 55 hp. $52,436 puts it $3,855 under the top CT5558.

Bobcat
Top of Bobcat's tractor range: 57.7 hp, 48.3 PTO hp and a standard cab for $56,291. It is also the only model on the platform that keeps most of its engine power at the PTO, losing 9.4 hp where the CT5555 loses 12.
