Completely new cab coming out

[Iowa Dave]

A sales rep told me that Bobcat will have a new cab design on showroom floors by late 2009. Air ride seat, pressurized cab, armrest and throttle will move with the seat, whisper quiet. He mentioned some other goodies, but I can't recall any more--supposedly will make all others seem to be from the stone ages. Anyone with more info??? Dave

Some poeple from my dealership got to go to the plant to see the new models. It is not just a new cab, it is a complete new loader from the ground up.

I have heard steel tracks for larger track machines and new style excavators.

Wow , That will be a big step up from my 743. I have decided that I am going to get a 2009 model. I am setting a goal for myself today. By the year 2029, I will own own a 2009 bobcat. Being this is 2009 and I have recently bought a 1988 bobcat, I believe that will be a realistic goal to a achieve.

Here's what I heard and sent as part of a mass PM at LS.com:
I was at the local Bobcat dealer getting some hoses made up, (Nov 19/2008) and I was asked if I wanted to see a video clip of a new Bobcat CTL. It is a T190, but with a radius path loader, the Vertical path will now be an option, it has longer loader arms and more ROC and more power. It was a prototype that fills in the gap between the T180 and T200 (back in the days) for the people that want a mid sized CTL with radius path.
It also has RexRoth pilots (Cat style) and they are mounted on an air ride seat (sounds familiar now?) and the entire lower chassis "tub" has been lowered down along with the cab to give 50% more visibilty over the sides of your legs (yup, like Cat) It was an impressive looking machine.
No word on inline pumps and engines yet.
This was a cell phone clip I saw, and it was done in secret, as no photography was allowed there.
The T110 CTL (S70 version with tracks) will have more power to the ground than the T140 and a T400 (yes, T400!!) is in the works and will be based on the old 963 frame, no word on ROC and HP, but the old 963 was a 105HP and 3200 ROC with counter weights.
No word on release dates yet.
