At an event at its factory in Pontchâteau, France, Bobcat announced a limited edition specification for two of its V-Drive continuously variable telehandlers.
Only fifty models will be offered in the new limited edition, split between the TL38.70HF and TL43.80HF V-Drive machines, offering a 3.8t capacity and 6.9m lift, or a 4.3t capacity and 7.5m lift, respectively.
The machines will be offered with a black paint job, with new decals, as well as all-black interior cloth and leather seat covers. Each will be provided with an individually numbered plate in the cab.
It isn’t just an aesthetic option; both machines will feature the V-Drive transmission, offering stepless acceleration up to 40kph, as well as stop & start, cruise control and speed limiting functions.
They will also be specced up to the Agri 4 package, which includes a range of precision lifting systems, as well as additional comfort add-ons for intensive users.
Florian Hilbert, product manager for Telehandlers, Doosan Bobcat EMEA, said: “Building on the success of Bobcat’s recently introduced V-Drive telehandlers, the Black Limited Edition units will help us further boost awareness and generate a real buzz.
“Thanks to their exclusive detailing and branding, we expect these eye-catching models to attract significant attention at Agritechnica 2025, giving customers an opportunity to own a genuinely rare, visually distinctive and high-specification machine that enables them to accomplish more.”
Via the Machine IQ system, the company has also introduced a remote enable and disable engine function, enabling machinery to be shut down from the farm office to deter theft.
The new limited edition machines will make their public debut at Agritechnica in Hall 6, Stand C8, and will be delivered on a first-come, first-served basis.
