BOBCAT has announced new enhancements to the company’s 1-m planer attachment as well as the complete line of Bobcat wheel saw attachments. The upgrades include a new hydraulic valve and a new ACD (attachment control device) controller.

“The 1-m planer is part of a comprehensive range of planer attachments for Bobcat compact loaders, designed for a range of applications from milling surfaces to repairing potholes and cracks, ice damage and for work around manholes,” says a spokesman for the manufacturer.

Other applications include matching uneven pavement surfaces; producing vertical edges for pavement repairs; cutting drainage in parking lots; and for tapering edges of roadways. Bobcat planers are also suitable for finishing jobs around larger milling machines and for work on bridges, walkways and garages.

Applications for Bobcat wheel saws include fixed width trenching for the utilities covering water, gas, power, telecommunications and fibre-optic networks.

The enhancements also allow owners and operators to monitor operating hours and maintenance intervals on their planers and wheel saws using the new deluxe instrument panel available on the new-generation Bobcat S630, S650 and S850 skid-steer loaders and T650 and T870 compact tracked loaders.
