✅ What is a Bobcat Toolcat 5600? Owner Review - Detailed specs and walk around of features

Here I cover many of the capabilities, specifications and features of my 2016 Bobcat Toolcat 5600. I use it for maintaining my 47+ acres; Mowing, brush cutting, snow plowing, moving rocks/wood/trees, accepting freight deliveries with pallet forks, etc. It has aux hydraulics to run nearly all skid loader attachments. Overall very versatile machine and my favorite feature is it has a big cab with 2 seats so I can bring the family along with me. That is the biggest feature I like about it over the skid steers I've owned and tractors I have used. Its no replacement for the fun factor of the Polaris RZR 900 I had but its a much better workhorse! Its basically a two seat tractor (especially the Toolcat 5610 version with rear 3-point and PTO). See my other videos of the Toolcat in action on my channel.
The Nater Tater Channel ( / natertater ) covers any topics related to my 47 acre property. Building things, driving things, smarthome, wifi, outdoor activities etc. Follow me to see my many projects!

Great video and great little machine. I usually don't stick around for too long on lengthy videos but yours was super informative And a really good walk around of the unit.

[@NaterTater]

Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed it!

[@davebittel7776]

I’ve owned a Toolcat 5610 for several years. Great machines, use it around farm with finish mower, brush mower, spraying and general usage almost daily!

[@NaterTater]

Awesome! I not so secretly want a 5610 so I get the 3-point ans PTO and then get a japan mini truck to use as my dump bed that I can actually load with the Toolcat.

[@tomplatt7723]

Great video!

[@mercedesbenzisbest]

Love your videos keep it up!

[@NaterTater]

Thanks for the encouragement, planning to make more!

[@randykemnitz8657]

Watch your video all the time. I have a 2019 toolcat it’s a great machine I have 700 Hrs sold it for more than I bought it for I just order a new 2022 it’s going to cost me 9 k more but I think it’s worth it. Keep up the good videos.

[@NaterTater]

Sweet, the new ones have some nice improvements!

[@HighRoad317]

Great walk around and walk through.

[@NaterTater]

Thank you!

[@mountaindreamer7883]

Man those toolcat are sweet. Kinda surprised that other utv manufacturers aren't making hydraulic hook ups and equipment for there models.

[@NaterTater]

They are nice, UTV's dont have the torque or weight of a toolcat. Polaris is trying somewhat with the Brutus but still cant compete.

[@pbgd3]

UTVs are just toys they actually really suck for the cost.

[@texasranchadventures]

Thanks for the in depth walk though. I need something small but with lots of power to move materials up and down our little mesa. I just cut the drive so it’s still in rough shape, it’s steep and tight in spots. One question I have is how well it handles steel grades with loads in bucket/ bed/ towing? I’m doing most of the work on my own so I also like the versatility of this tractor/ utv hybrid.

[@NaterTater]

I have no problem with hills but I'm also in SE Michigan which isnt known for steep grades.

[@certifiedsecurity5108]

How much fuel does it burn mowing?

[@stevenandrews6627]

👍👍👍

[@BillCoSmith]

Do you know if you can run the front high flow and the rear pto on the 5610 at the same time?
Thanks

[@NaterTater]

Unfortunately you can't...have to pick either front or rear hydraulics at any given time. Can use the loader and PTO but not front aux and rear PTO

[@tf7274]

You'd run out of HP and hydraulic cooling anyways...

[@drtammi]

how hard is it to change attachments? does it take brute strength ?

[@NaterTater]

It's easy. All the work is done by the machine. Mine has the power bobtach which even uses hydraulics to engage the lock levers so I can stay in the cab and swap attachments (except ones with aux hydraulics). But my past two bobcats had the manual lock levers and even those are easy. No brute strength needed.

[@zachary3777]

I'm a little bit shocked this exists. I have been thinking about building and inventing something almost exactly like it for years. Those tires look small though, bet it sinks into mud pretty badly.

[@NaterTater]

Yes it is not known for its mud capability. Its better than a skid steer but worse than a compact 🚜 in mud. Some people have put mud or Ag tires on them to help.

[@jcarleabc]

Do you have a link to the Knob on your steering wheel?

[@NaterTater]

Here it is: amzn.to/3oEpCDA

[@jcarleabc]

Thank you sir! Love your videos!

[@AllieThePrettyGator]

that front part is what you call a "Elephant Loader" because it resembles an elephants trunk

[@ScottishLad.]

hi what is the top speed/ road speed of this machine?

[@NaterTater]

17-18 mph

[@daftnord4957]

I wonder if this can lift a 6x5' hay bale about 1500 lbs off of a 4ft high flatbed

[@daftnord4957]

-bobcat bale spears are pretty light weight, so that helps

[@NaterTater]

Yes. It lifts about 3k lbs before tipping

[@daftnord4957]

@NaterTater just got a 2021 model bought with 500 hours, road kit, high flow, plus a new bucket and hay bale spear for 64k. For 10 acre horse farm. Most importantly for snow moving, and occasional hay bale moving. So I thought this would be a good option vs a john deere 4 series or a skidsteer. We also don't have afour wheeler. So really its a 3 in 1 machine. Pretty excited for it. Just worried about potential issues that seem to arise that tractors or skidsteers don't seem to have

[@NaterTater]

@@daftnord4957 its been a great all in one machine for me.

[@fentol8936]

too fuckn expensive for me, i think i read somewhere that it retails for over 50k

[@NaterTater]

Yeah they aren't cheap. Easily $60k+ new with options. Good used ones hold their value too.
