November 2023- Bobcat has continued its venture into the world of compact wheeled loaders with the launch of its biggest model to date. The power output of the L95 is 75hp, which is significantly more than the L75 (55hp) and L85 (68hp), with which it shares the same 2.4-litre Bobcat-built engine. It can travel faster as well, with the two-range hydrostatic transmission offering a top speed of 40kph – double that of its stablemates. Hydraulic pressure has also been upped from 200 to 225 bar, giving those who spec the 100-litres/min high-flow system far keener performance. Standard models come with a 75-litre/min setup. With a nearly 4,000-pound operating capacity and 10.5-foot lift height, the L95 runs on a 74-horsepower engine and has a standard bucket capacity of 1.2 cubic yards. That beats the company's previous largest compact wheel loader, the L85, which has 68 horsepower and a 1-cubic-yard bucket.
The new CWL also gets Bobcat CWLs' most powerful transmission for increased loading and pushing power, the company says. The electronic hydrostatic transmission "delivers easy direction changes, efficient acceleration, and effortless speed control." The L95 can reach a top speed of 24 mph in Travel Mode – 7 mph faster than the L85 – and has "automatic ride control," which is activated at a set speed. The system is designed to cushion the load to reduce bucket spillage and increase operator comfort. It is turned on and off on the operator's 5-inch display. In Smooth Drive Mode, the operator can maneuver around the job site with mild acceleration and deceleration via a foot pedal rather than throttle knob while carrying loads. The CWL's third drive mode is Flex Drive. With the throttle pedal, the operator can maintain constant hydraulic flow to the boom and attachments without affecting travel speed.
