That includedgrading the yard, planting trees and shrubs,and installing pavers for a walk-out patio.Brand familiarityAlan had previously operated a Bobcatexcavator for light construction andlandscaping projects and was familiar withthe popular compact equipment brand.When he heard that Bobcat introduced a newline of compact tractors, he did extensiveresearch to determine if it was time to makea switch.“Alan looks into everything thoroughly,”Suzanne says. “He did a lot of onlineresearch before we made our decision, andwe were very happy with the quality andthe price of the Bobcat tractor.” Shortlythereafter, the Constances bought their new45-horsepower tractor with a front-endloader, box blade and sprayer attachmentfrom Garden State Bobcat.Vineyard plansAlan spends his days working in lawenforcement as a detective for the NewJersey State Patrol, and nights and weekendsoutside on his tractor. “We were doing quitea bit of nursery work when we bought theproperty,” he says. “We eventually wantto transform some of the property into avineyard, so I’ve been building an accessroad with the tractor and box blade, andNew tractor transmission optionBobcat now offers a Shuttle Shift Transmission (SST) option to complement its Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) compacttractors. This option is available on Bobcat CT335, CT445 and CT450 models. The SST option provides an increase in PTOhorsepower along with a wide range of operating speeds, which allows the operator to match ground speed with workrequirements, such as mowing and tilling, or spraying and seeding applications.
