Bobcat MT100 mini track loader with bucket attachment

Big jobs do not always need big equipment. The Bobcat MT100 mini track loader delivers serious lifting, digging, hauling, and cleanup power in a compact package that can fit through many gates and tight backyard spaces.

With a 1,000-pound rated operating capacity, a narrow 35.6-inch width, and a lineup of useful attachments, the MT100 can replace a lot of manual labor. Homeowners and contractors across Hanover, PA, can rent one machine and tackle several different tasks with confidence.

No truck? No trailer? No problem. Hanover Equipment Company offers FREE equipment delivery within 5 miles of Hanover.

Why Rent the Bobcat MT100?

Buying a loader makes sense for some businesses. For a weekend project, seasonal job, or occasional construction task, renting is often the easier choice.

You get the machine when you need it: without taking on long-term storage, maintenance, depreciation, or ownership costs.

The MT100 is especially useful when your project involves:

  • Moving mulch, soil, stone, or firewood
  • Grading and leveling
  • Backfilling trenches
  • Clearing brush and storm debris
  • Digging post holes
  • Installing irrigation or utility lines
  • Sweeping driveways and parking areas
  • Removing snow
  • Handling pallets and bundled materials

One machine. Plenty of ways to put it to work.

Small Enough for Tight Spaces

The MT100’s compact size is one of its biggest advantages. At approximately 35.6 inches wide, it can travel through many standard gates and narrow access points that larger skid steers cannot reach.

That makes it a strong choice for:

  • Tight backyards
  • Residential side yards
  • Fenced properties
  • Landscaping projects
  • Driveways and walkways
  • Small construction sites
  • Areas between buildings
  • Finished surfaces where maneuverability matters

Always measure your gate, doorway, and access path before booking. You will also want to account for the machine’s attachment width.

The MT100 is compact: but it is not a toy. It is built to work.

Its track system helps the loader move across grass, soil, mud, and other jobsite surfaces while providing a stable footprint. Operators should still use care around finished lawns, wet ground, steep slopes, and sensitive surfaces.

1,000 Pounds of Rated Operating Capacity

The Bobcat MT100 has a 1,000-pound rated operating capacity with a bucket in the straight position. That gives you useful lifting power for common residential, landscaping, and light construction tasks.

You can use the bucket to:

  • Move dirt and gravel
  • Load mulch
  • Spread topsoil
  • Backfill low areas
  • Clear loose debris
  • Transport materials around your property

The rated operating capacity is not the same as the weight of every load you can pick up in every position. Attachment weight, load position, material density, and ground conditions all matter.

A heavy attachment reduces the amount of material you can safely lift. Follow the machine’s operating instructions, keep loads low while traveling, and avoid exceeding the rated capacity.

When used properly, the MT100 gives you the muscle to get more done without bringing a full-size loader into a tight residential space.

The Attachment Makes the Machine

The MT100 becomes much more versatile when you match it with the right attachment. The loader is the power unit. The attachment is the specialist.

Here are several ways you can use it.

Bucket: Dig, Carry, Grade, and Backfill

The bucket is the all-around starting point. It helps you move loose materials, clean up a work area, rough-grade soil, and backfill trenches or excavations.

For homeowners, it can make short work of:

  • Mulch installation
  • Garden bed preparation
  • Driveway stone movement
  • Drainage work
  • Yard regrading
  • Brush and debris cleanup

For contractors, the bucket can help reduce wheelbarrow work and improve productivity on smaller sites.

Pallet Forks: Move Materials Without the Heavy Lifting

Pallet forks turn the MT100 into a compact material handler. Use them to move pallets, lumber, pavers, bundled materials, bagged mulch, and landscape supplies.

Pallet forks are helpful when delivery trucks can place materials near the street, but you still need to move those materials across the property.

Check the load rating and load center before lifting. Keep the load balanced and travel slowly: especially on uneven ground.

Auger: Drill Post Holes Faster

Need to install a fence, deck supports, mailbox posts, or landscaping features? An auger attachment can drill consistent holes much faster than a shovel.

The MT100’s auxiliary hydraulics provide power for compatible attachments. The right auger bit depends on your soil conditions, hole diameter, and project requirements.

This is a great example of the MT100 replacing hours of manual work with controlled, repeatable power.

Grapple: Grab Brush, Logs, and Storm Debris

A grapple attachment gives you a better way to handle bulky materials that are awkward to scoop with a standard bucket.

Use it for:

  • Tree limbs
  • Brush piles
  • Small logs
  • Root balls
  • Demolition debris
  • Construction cleanup

The grapple holds material securely so you can lift, move, and organize it with fewer trips. That means less dragging, less hand loading, and less time spent wrestling with debris.

Trencher: Cut Clean Utility Lines

A trencher attachment can help you create narrow, consistent trenches for irrigation, drainage, low-voltage wiring, and other compatible installations.

Before digging, confirm the location of underground utilities. Call 811 before you break ground. It is a small step that can prevent a very expensive surprise.

The MT100’s compact footprint also helps when trenching along fences, beside structures, or through smaller residential areas.

Sweeper: Clean Up the Finished Surface

The project is not finished when the material is moved. You still need to clean up.

A sweeper or angle broom attachment can help clear dirt, gravel, leaves, and light debris from driveways, pavement, parking areas, and jobsite surfaces.

One attachment change can turn a material-moving machine into a cleanup machine. That is the advantage of renting a versatile loader.

Snow Blade: Prepare for Hanover Winters

When winter arrives, a snow blade can help clear snow from driveways, access roads, walkways, and other areas.

The MT100’s narrow profile makes it useful in spaces where a larger snow-removal machine may be difficult to maneuver. Plan ahead before the next storm: equipment availability can become limited when the forecast changes.

A Practical Choice for Homeowners and Contractors

The MT100 works well for homeowners because it is approachable, compact, and capable. You can use it for a major landscaping project without bringing oversized equipment into your yard.

It also helps contractors take on work in places where access is limited. A mini track loader can support landscaping, hardscaping, drainage, fence installation, property maintenance, and cleanup projects.

The Bobcat MT100 features include:

  • 1,000-pound rated operating capacity
  • Approximately 35.6-inch machine width
  • 24.8-horsepower diesel engine
  • 11 gpm standard auxiliary flow
  • Track-based maneuverability
  • Ride-on platform
  • ISO joystick controls
  • Bob-Tach attachment compatibility
