Bobcat V417 Specifications
The Bobcat V417 telehandler equipped with the Kubota
V3300-DI-T turbocharged diesel engine represents one of the earliest compact
VersaHandler designs focused on maneuverability, versatility, and dependable
performance in confined and mixed-duty work environments. Built to operate in
construction sites, agricultural facilities, industrial yards, landscape
maintenance, and fleet rental operations, the V417 offers the utility of a
skid-steer combined with the reach and lifting performance of a compact
telehandler.
With a rated lift capacity of approximately
2000 kg (4,409 lb) and a maximum lift height of around 5.2 meters (17
feet), the machine provides a strong balance between compact chassis
geometry, lifting power, in-cab operator control, and attachment
flexibility.
The Kubota V3300-DI-T engine - well known for reliability, long life,
mechanical simplicity, and stable low-end torque - ensures consistent
output for lifting, hydrostatic driving, and hydraulic attachment
operation. The V417 integrates a heavy-duty industrial hydrostatic
transmission, four-wheel drive, and three steering modes to maximize
maneuverability in tight spaces. Its reinforced frame, strong boom
construction, and durable hydraulic system allow repeated duty cycles
without compromising stability or performance. The machine also supports
the Bob-Tach or Power Quick-Tach attachment system, enabling a single
telehandler to operate forks, buckets, grapples, bale spears, augers,
sweepers, and other hydraulic tools.
Compact dimensions, low overall height, excellent cab visibility, sealed
electrical routing, protected hydraulic layout, and robust service
access points make the V417 a durable and operator-friendly machine.
Built to withstand harsh daily use, the telehandler is suitable for
lifting, loading, placing, and general-purpose material handling where
greater reach is required than a skid-steer can provide, but without the
mass and footprint of a large telehandler.
The Kubota V3300-DI-T is a turbocharged diesel engine
designed for industrial machines requiring long service intervals, strong torque
at low engine speeds, and mechanical durability. This 3.3-liter engine is widely
used in compact industrial equipment due to its simplicity and tolerance for
long-duty cycles.
