One for all

Bobcat launches the 3400D, a vehicle that goes beyond all kind of land

The new multipurpose of Bobcat, of diesel engine, has more power, traction and versatility, allowing circular for stony and muddy terrain. It is as useful in gardens, works or exhibitions.

At bad time efficiency. It is obvious to the multipurpose vehicle 3400D, launched by Bobcat. Those who have devised have emphasized the power, traction and versatility so few types of ground resist him. The 3400D can be found in settings as diverse as farms, construction sites, nurseries, fairs of samples and even small-scale mining or territory of the armed forces.

The technical innovations of the 3400D give the vehicle of an intensive working capacity.

More power

The 3400D increases by 20% the power of its predecessor, the model 2200D. This is possible thanks to the diesel engine Yanmar of 18.2 kW liquid-cooled. In addition, a deposit of 34 litres diesel which allows the vehicle to work throughout the day. And it does so in a faster, at a maximum speed of 48 km/h, 8 km/h more than before. Speed cuts and reversing it is limited to 24 km/h.

The 3400D reaches a top speed of 48 km/h, 8 km/h rather than its predecessor

Stony and muddy fields

This since the vehicle rises 241 mm above the ground, with which or rough terrain with potholes or stony and muddy fields of work are resisting the Bobcat 3400D model. The suspension system is independent four-wheel with Mac Pherson non-adjustable structures in the extreme front and shock absorber adjustable in preload on the back. The rear buffer also has two different mounting positions. The normal, more angular, configuration is used for normal situations, light work and leisure. The most straight mounting position of the dampers is aimed at situations in which displacement is slower and the heavy loads.

The height of the vehicle and its damping facilitate its use in particularly difficult terrain.

A more spacious collector box

The capacity of the box collector, made of a polymer compound, is a 38% higher than the 2200D and the vehicle can carry a net charge of 500 pounds, 33% more than the 2200D. As the loading platform is made of composite materials, will not rust and resists scratches and minor scratches. The loading platform includes points of anchorage, a manual lever of discharge with assisted elevation (standard version) and a flip-up rear door easy to open. With a nominal capacity of 680 kg towing, the 3400D can easily pull trailers and other equipment.

More precise maneuvers

The acceleration of speed Variable (VRA, for its acronym in English) of the 3400D allows the vehicle to increase the speed at a reduced rate during the first half of the route of the accelerator pedal, and at higher pace during the second half. This facilitates the precise throttle control to maneuver the machine in confined spaces.

Lawn mode allows the rear wheels to spin at different speeds to minimize the impact on the ground (as in clean pastures). Deluxe of the 3400D and modes of traction to both wheels (rear differential locked to provide a better traction) and four wheel drive (maximum torque at each wheel) are also available in the standard versions.

It can carry a net charge of 500 kg, one-third more than before
