Bobcat introduced a completely redesigned utility-vehicle lineup for 2010, expanding its work-focused range with four models: the two-wheel-drive Bobcat 3200, four-wheel-drive 3400, multi-passenger 3400XL and attachment-ready 3450.
The four machines shared an emphasis on hauling capacity, jobsite durability and year-round utility, but each addressed a different kind of customer. The lineup stretched from a relatively simple 4×2 vehicle for maintained properties to a diesel UTV capable of operating front-mounted work attachments.
Historical note: These specifications describe the Bobcat utility vehicles introduced in 2010. The models are no longer part of Bobcat’s current UTV lineup.
2010 Bobcat UTV Lineup at a Glance
| Model | Drivetrain | Engine | Rated Capacity | Primary Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bobcat 3200 | 4×2 | 29-hp gas | 1,600 lb. | Property and grounds maintenance |
| Bobcat 3400 | 4×4 | 32-hp gas or 24.8-hp diesel | 1,600 lb. | General-purpose work UTV |
| Bobcat 3400XL | 4×4 | 32-hp gas or 24.8-hp diesel | 1,850 lb. | Crew and equipment transportation |
| Bobcat 3450 | 4×4 | 24.8-hp diesel | 1,600 lb. | Attachment-powered work |
All four models offered a 1,100-pound cargo-box capacity and a maximum travel speed of 30 mph. Bobcat also rated the vehicles to tow as much as 1,500 pounds.
Vehicle-rated capacity is the combined weight of occupants, cargo and installed accessories on a level surface.
What Changed for 2010?
Bobcat positioned the redesigned lineup as a substantial improvement over its previous utility vehicles. Updates included more horsepower, quicker acceleration, higher payload ratings and electronic fuel injection on the gas-powered 4×4 models.
The 4×4 vehicles offered selectable Turf Mode, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Turf Mode limited power delivery to one rear wheel to reduce damage when crossing lawns, athletic fields and other sensitive surfaces.
Four-wheel independent suspension helped keep the tires in contact with uneven ground while providing a smoother ride across farms, construction sites and large properties. Available cab enclosures and heaters expanded the vehicles’ usefulness in cold, wet and windy conditions.
Bobcat also protected the drivetrain and underbody with a sealed CVT guard, full skid plate, radiator guard and front and rear CV-joint boot shields. A corrosion-resistant composite cargo box featured a single-latch tailgate and an integrated mounting system for work accessories.
Bobcat 3200 4×2
The Bobcat 3200 was the entry-level model in the 2010 lineup. Its two-wheel-drive layout was intended primarily for maintained properties, campuses, parks, rental yards and relatively level jobsites where four-wheel drive was not essential.
- Drivetrain: Two-wheel drive (4×2)
- Engine: 29-hp gasoline
- Vehicle-rated capacity: 1,600 lb.
- Cargo-box capacity: 1,100 lb.
- Maximum speed: 30 mph
- Operating weight: 1,178 lb.
Bobcat 3400 4×4
The Bobcat 3400 added four-wheel drive and a choice between gasoline and diesel power. It was the most conventional work UTV in the lineup, combining a two-person cab, large cargo box and selectable drive system for use across farms, construction sites and rougher properties.
- Drivetrain: Selectable 4×4
- Engine choices: 32-hp gasoline or 24.8-hp diesel
- Vehicle-rated capacity: 1,600 lb.
- Cargo-box capacity: 1,100 lb.
- Maximum speed: 30 mph
- Operating weight: 1,227 lb. gas; 1,392 lb. diesel
Bobcat 3400XL 4×4
The Bobcat 3400XL extended the platform to accommodate a second row of passengers. With optional bench seating, it could transport as many as six occupants, making it the lineup’s choice for moving work crews around large facilities, nurseries, farms and jobsites.
- Drivetrain: Selectable 4×4
- Seating: Up to six occupants with optional bench seats
- Engine choices: 32-hp gasoline or 24.8-hp diesel
- Vehicle-rated capacity: 1,850 lb.
- Cargo-box capacity: 1,100 lb.
- Maximum speed: 30 mph
- Operating weight: 1,480 lb. gas; 1,657 lb. diesel
Bobcat 3450 4×4 With RapidLink
The Bobcat 3450 was the most specialized member of the 2010 lineup. Its RapidLink attachment system allowed the vehicle to operate one of five front-mounted attachments: a bucket, pallet fork, mower, snow blade or Whisker push broom.
Bobcat rated the system for a maximum lift height of two feet and an operating capacity of 500 pounds. That capability placed the 3450 somewhere between a conventional UTV and a compact attachment carrier.
- Drivetrain: Selectable 4×4
- Engine: 24.8-hp diesel
- Attachment system: Bobcat RapidLink
- Vehicle-rated capacity: 1,600 lb.
- Cargo-box capacity: 1,100 lb.
- Maximum speed: 30 mph
- Operating weight: 1,646 lb.
Available Accessories and Work Equipment
Bobcat offered accessories intended to configure the vehicles for construction, grounds maintenance, agriculture and cold-weather work. Available equipment included a powered cargo-box lift, brush guard, turn signals, strobe lights, backup alarm, cargo divider, cargo-box extensions and tool holders.
A dealer-installed cab and heater provided additional weather protection. Bobcat also offered a limited-edition hunting package with a green finish, black wheels, brush guard, powered cargo-box lift and mounts for dual gun boots.
Why the 2010 Bobcat Lineup Was Significant
The 2010 range showed how rapidly the utility side-by-side market was becoming more specialized. Instead of relying on one basic vehicle, Bobcat offered separate configurations for maintained properties, rough-terrain work, crew transportation and powered attachments.
The 3400 and 3400XL names would remain important parts of Bobcat’s UTV range in subsequent years, while the attachment-equipped 3450 foreshadowed Bobcat’s continued interest in vehicles that could do more than simply transport people and cargo.
Bobcat now lists these machines as non-current models but continues to provide access to parts, manuals and service information through its non-current utility-vehicle archive.
