A new Bobcat tractor currently costs about $15,086 to $61,170 before freight, dealer preparation, taxes, accessories, and attachments. The 21-hp CT1021 sits at the low end at $15,086, while the 73.1-hp UT6573 starts at $61,170. Current dealer pricing shows why MSRP is only the first number to check: one dealer lists a 2026 CT2025 HST at $21,499 cash, while a CT2025 tractor-loader-backhoe package is $30,998.

Bobcat’s current U.S. tractor range is made up of subcompact CT1000 models, compact CT2000, CT4000 and CT5000 platforms, the AT450 articulating tractor, and UT utility tractors. The current tractor line tops out at 73.1 hp rather than the 100-to-140-hp figures found in some older online price guides.

The most useful comparison is not MSRP alone. We calculated the cost per engine horsepower, cost per PTO horsepower, package premium, cash-versus-finance break-even point, and the discount on several low-hour used listings. Those calculations show where the Bobcat lineup gets expensive and where current dealer or used inventory can beat the factory base price.

Article Highlights

• Current Bobcat base prices run from $15,086 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 12.6 full-time workweeks, before taxes) for the CT1021 to $61,170 for the UT6573.
• Among seven representative models we calculated, the CT1025 is about $702 per engine hp, while the CT5558 reaches about $976 per engine hp.
• Measured against PTO output, the UT6066 is about $838 per PTO hp, versus about $1,165 per PTO hp for the CT5558.
• The 57.7-hp CT5558 costs $15,243 more than the same-horsepower CT4058, a premium of about 37.1%.
• A current CT2025 HST tractor-loader-backhoe package costs $30,998, about $8,474 or 37.6% above the current bare HST MSRP.
• Three current low-hour used examples average about 27.5% below their comparable 2026 bare-model MSRPs, even though each used listing includes a loader.
• One current dealer’s CT2025 pricing creates a financing break-even point of roughly 6.4% APR over 84 months when comparing its cash discount with the higher promotional-finance price.

How Much Does a Bobcat Tractor Cost?

Bobcat’s current compact tractor lineup and current utility tractor lineup publish suggested U.S. base prices. Bobcat states that those figures exclude freight, pre-delivery inspection, taxes, surcharges, options, accessories, and attachments.

Model	Base price	Engine hp	PTO hp	ThePricer $/engine hp	ThePricer $/PTO hp
CT1021	$15,086 (about 12.6 full-time workweeks at $30 per hour)	21	16.3	$718	$926
CT1025	$17,205	24.5	18.8	$702	$915
CT2025 HST	$22,524	24.5	21.8	$919	$1,033
CT4058	$41,048	57.7	45.1	$711	$910
CT5558	$56,291	57.7	48.3	$976	$1,165
UT6066	$48,114	66.4	57.4	$725	$838
UT6573	$61,170	73.1	62.1	$837	$985

The $/hp columns are ThePricer calculations from current Bobcat MSRP and published horsepower. They are not Bobcat metrics. For the CT2025, Bobcat currently lists $20,760 for the manual tractor and $22,524 for HST, with 22.2 and 21.8 PTO hp respectively.

What You’re Actually Buying

A Bobcat tractor price buys a platform, transmission, hydraulic system, three-point hitch, PTO capability, operator station, and a certain level of lift capacity, not simply an engine with a horsepower rating. The CT1000 machines are small property tractors. CT2000 models move into larger Category 1 implement work. CT4000 tractors add weight and lift capacity. CT5000 models package similar compact-tractor horsepower with a factory cab and heavier three-point capability.

The UT6066, UT6566, and UT6573 are larger Category 2 utility tractors. Bobcat’s current utility range runs from 66.4 to 73.1 hp and up to 62.1 PTO hp. The AT450 occupies a different niche with an articulating frame and front-mounted attachments. Bobcat’s modern compact-tractor program was developed with Daedong Industrial, according to Doosan Bobcat’s tractor-development announcement, so the blanket claim that Bobcat tractors are simply Kubota-powered machines is not accurate across the line.

Price Per Horsepower

The CT1025 costs $17,205 and produces 24.5 engine hp. That works out to:

$17,205 ÷ 24.5 = about $702 per engine hp.

The CT5558 costs $56,291 with 57.7 hp:

$56,291 ÷ 57.7 = about $976 per engine hp.

That makes the CT5558 roughly 39% more expensive per engine horsepower than the CT1025. The difference is not wasted money. The CT5558 includes a factory-installed enclosed cab, electronic hydrostatic transmission, much higher three-point capacity, and a larger chassis.

PTO horsepower produces another result. The UT6066 is $48,114 ÷ 57.4 = about $838 per PTO hp. The CT5558 is $56,291 ÷ 48.3 = about $1,165 per PTO hp. For buyers whose work is dominated by PTO implements, the more expensive compact tractor does not automatically deliver more PTO output per purchase dollar.

The Same 57.7 HP Can Cost $15,243 More

The CT4058 and CT5558 both produce 57.7 engine hp, which gives us an unusually clean price comparison. The CT4058 starts at $41,048. The CT5558 starts at $56,291.

$56,291 – $41,048 = $15,243.

That is a 37.1% premium over the CT4058 price with no increase in engine horsepower. The buyer is paying for a different platform and equipment package. The CT5558 has a standard factory cab, 48.3 PTO hp, electronic hydrostatic transmission, and 3,177 lb of three-point lift capacity, while the CT4058 is an open-station tractor with 45.1 PTO hp and a lighter platform.

This is why shopping only by engine horsepower can produce a bad value comparison. Cab comfort, PTO output, lift capacity, transmission, hydraulic flow, and implement fit can easily be worth more than another few engine horsepower.

Ready-to-Work CT2025

The current CT2025 HST base MSRP is $22,524. A Bobcat dealer currently advertises a CT2025 Homestead Package for $29,499 with a front-end loader and bucket, 60-inch rotary cutter, 60-inch box blade, quick hitch, and 18-foot trailer.

The package premium over bare HST MSRP is:

$29,499 – $22,524 = $6,975, or about 31.0%.

Another current dealer lists a 2026 CT2025 HST tractor-loader-backhoe at $30,998 in its current Bobcat inventory. Against bare HST MSRP:

$30,998 – $22,524 = $8,474, a 37.6% package premium.

Those two examples show why the base tractor price is not the working budget. The first package adds a loader, three-point implements and a trailer. The second adds the loader and backhoe. Buyers should compare exactly what is included rather than treating every CT2025 price as the same machine.

For broader equipment budgeting, compare these numbers with the cost of a tractor, a mini excavator, or the cost to buy or rent a bulldozer.

Used Bobcat Discounts

Current used asking prices show a remarkably consistent discount in three low-hour examples, although these are listings rather than completed sales and the configurations are not identical to a new bare tractor.

A 2022 CT1025 with 83 hours and a loader is currently listed for $12,900. Against the current $17,205 bare CT1025 MSRP, that is $4,305 or 25.0% lower.

A 2023 manual CT2025 with 116 hours and a loader is listed for $14,900. Against today’s $20,760 manual base MSRP, the gap is $5,860 or 28.2%.

A 2020 CT5558 with 311 hours, cab, heat, air conditioning and FL9-5 loader is listed for $39,900. Compared with the current $56,291 bare CT5558 MSRP, that is $16,391 or 29.1% lower.

Across those three examples, the average current asking-price discount to 2026 bare MSRP is about 27.5%. That is not a depreciation rate because model year, attachments, dealer margin, warranty status, and condition differ. It is still a useful market check before buying new.

0% Financing vs the Cash Price

Bobcat currently advertises 0% financing for up to 84 months or a free front-end loader on eligible subcompact and compact tractors through September 30, 2026. The two incentives are alternatives rather than benefits that automatically stack.

A current dealer provides a better view of the hidden finance tradeoff. Its 2026 CT2025 HST listing shows a retail price of $26,749 and a cash price of $21,499.

The cash discount is:

$26,749 – $21,499 = $5,250, or about 19.6% of retail.

That means 0% is not automatically free money if taking it requires giving up the cash discount. We calculated the break-even rate for financing the $21,499 cash price elsewhere over 84 months. A conventional loan would have to cost about 6.4% APR, ignoring fees, before its total payments reach roughly the $26,749 retail figure.

Below that approximate rate, financing the discounted cash price could cost less in total. Above it, the promotional 0% structure could win. Taxes, loan fees, required down payment, credit approval, and exact dealer program rules can change the result, so buyers should compare total dollars paid rather than the monthly payment alone.

Three current buying scenarios:

Small-property buyer: a bare CT1025 starts at $17,205. A current 83-hour used CT1025 with a loader is asking $12,900. That used example is $4,305 below today’s bare MSRP while already including the loader.

Ready-to-work acreage package: the current CT2025 Homestead Package costs $29,499. Compared with the $22,524 HST base MSRP, the additional equipment adds $6,975 to the purchase, but the package includes the loader, cutter, box blade, quick hitch and trailer.

Higher-capacity utility buyer: the UT6573 starts at $61,170 with 73.1 engine hp and 62.1 PTO hp. At about $985 per PTO hp, it is actually cheaper per PTO horsepower than the $56,291 CT5558 at about $1,165 per PTO hp, even though the UT6573 has the higher total price.

When a Bobcat Tractor Makes Sense

Makes sense if:

• You choose by PTO power, lift capacity, hydraulics, transmission and attachments rather than engine horsepower alone.
• You price the loader, backhoe, mower, cutter, trailer or other required equipment before setting the budget.
• A local Bobcat dealer can support parts and warranty service over the years you plan to own the tractor.
• You compare cash discounts, free attachments and promotional financing by total dollars rather than advertised payment.

Does not make sense if:

• You need a 100-plus-hp row-crop tractor, which sits outside Bobcat’s current U.S. tractor range.
• A low-hour used tractor with the attachments you need is materially cheaper than the new bare tractor.
• You are paying for a cab or heavier platform when your work does not require those features.
• You choose 0% financing without checking how much cash discount or attachment value must be surrendered.

Bobcat’s current standard tractor warranty is 24 months or 1,500 hours, whichever comes first. That is another number to compare when a lightly used machine is close enough in price to a new one that remaining warranty coverage can change the decision.

What We Verified

• Checked: current 2026 Bobcat base pricing against official model pages and independent dealer model lists.
• Confirmed: the current lineup tops out at the 73.1-hp UT6573 rather than the 110-to-140-hp tractors attributed to Bobcat in older copy.
• Cross-referenced: new dealer package pricing with a current Equipment Trader inventory sample that includes a 2025 CT2025 with FL7 loader and bucket at $20,184 after a listed cash rebate.
• Verified: the CT1025 used market against Machinery Pete’s current CT1025 inventory, which spans asking prices from $14,900 to $29,900 depending on hours, cab, loader, mower, snowblower, and other equipment.
• Confirmed: Bobcat’s suggested prices are base-model figures and do not include freight, preparation, taxes, accessories or attachments.

Answers to Common Questions

How much is the cheapest new Bobcat tractor?
The current CT1021 suggested base price is $15,086. Freight, dealer preparation, taxes and attachments can raise the final invoice.

How much does a Bobcat tractor with attachments cost?
A current CT2025 HST Homestead Package is $29,499, while one current 2026 CT2025 tractor-loader-backhoe package is $30,998. Package prices depend on exactly which implements and accessories are included.

Is a used Bobcat tractor much cheaper?
In three current low-hour examples we checked, asking prices were about 25.0% to 29.1% below today’s comparable bare-model MSRP. Those listings already included loaders, but they differ in age and condition, so the percentages should not be treated as a formal depreciation curve.

Is Bobcat’s 0% financing always the cheapest choice?
No. A current dealer example shows a $5,250 gap between CT2025 retail and cash pricing. Giving up a large cash discount can offset much of the value of 0% financing, so compare total payments under both choices.

Who makes Bobcat tractors?
Bobcat sells the tractors under its own brand. Doosan Bobcat announced a development partnership with Daedong Industrial for its modern compact-tractor line. Component and engine sourcing varies by product family, so it is more accurate to check the exact model than to say all Bobcat tractors use one outside engine manufacturer.
