Loader Comes with Quieter, Hydraulically-Driven Cooling Fan

click to enlarge Bobcat Co. recently introduced the K-Series skid-steer loaders (S130 through S300), compact track loaders (T140 through T300), and the A300 all-wheel steer loader. New to the K-Series loaders is the SmartFAN cooling system, a hydraulically driven cooling fan that senses machine operating temperatures and then self-regulates to rotate only as fast as it needs to. The temperature-controlled, variable-speed fan optimizes the cooling needs of the loader and can be 30 percent quieter in some operating conditions. A quieter machine reduces operator noise fatigue, allows for better communication with others outside the cab, and enables contractors to work longer days by complying with city noise ordinances. The K-Series loaders continue to feature the Bobcat dual-path cooling system, which brings in cool, clean air from above through the oil cooler and radiator and pulls hot air from the engine and hydrostatic area exiting out two side vents. This design reduces dirt and debris restrictions in the cooling system and minimizes debris in the engine compartment. With all Bobcat loaders, you can count on a choice of 70 quick-mounting Bobcat attachments. The operator can easily replace a bucket with a backhoe, pallet fork, landscape rake, sweeper, tiller, grapple and many more.
