Bobcat® 520

Manufactured for only a year by Bobcat® from 1976 until 1977 — the Bobcat® 520 is the first of the newB-Series, rated at 800 lbs. capacity, and was also the first loader of its size to have a hydrostatic drive.
The goal of the Bobcat® B-Series was to make many components — operator cabin and ROPS, seat, steering levers, pedals and tailgate — interchangeable among several frame sizes…
In 1977 Bobcat® began a new model numbering and decal scheme… The Bobcat® 520 was replaced with the Bobcat® 530.
