Located in Hoyo de Manzanares (Madrid), ENEBRO TRABAJOS FORESTALES, a company specialising in landscaping services throughout the Community of Madrid, has recently added the Bobcat MT100 mini track loader to its fleet. Álvaro Calvo Caballer, the company's manager, explains why this machine has been a game-changer in their daily operations.
With a clear focus on landscaping and the maintenance of green spaces, ENEBRO TRABAJOS FORESTALES aims to offer a rigorous and efficient service. In this context, choosing the right equipment is essential to meet the daily challenges of the sector. After years of using a skid-steer loader from another brand, Álvaro Calvo decided to take the next step and look for a solution that offered greater performance and, above all, better aftersales service. “The main problem was the slowness and cost of repairs. We needed a robust, versatile machine with readily available technical support,” says Álvaro Calvo Caballer.
The Bobcat MT100 mini track loader proved to be the natural choice. “I didn’t compare it with other brands. Bobcat has a well-established and very reliable reputation, so I didn’t hesitate,” Calvo explains. The machine has been primarily used for earthmoving, site preparation and landscaping. Furthermore, with the use of attachments such as the post hole digger and stump grinder, the machine has expanded its functionality and allowed the company to tackle more complex projects that it couldn’t previously service.
Compact, powerful and easy to handle
The MT100 stands out for its compact size and ease of use, two qualities that operators particularly appreciate: “It allows me to access narrow spaces and perform tasks that were previously impossible. The machine's agility has saved us valuable time.” In fact, although the machine has only been in operation for a short time, improvements in efficiency and work capacity are already noticeable.
One of the most remarkable technical aspects is its design, specifically tailored for working on delicate surfaces. Thanks to its low ground pressure—36 kPa with the standard 180 mm tracks, and up to 30 kPa with the optional 250 mm tracks—the risk of damaging lawns and landscaped areas is reduced. This is further enhanced by a generous ground clearance of 205 mm, which facilitates work on uneven terrain.
Despite its size, the MT100 offers a nominal load capacity of 460 kg and a tipping load of up to 1387 kg with its movable counterweight system, allowing the machine to be adapted to the task. This enables adjustments to the lifting capacity or ground grip depending on the job, which is a significant advantage.
A daily ally for landscaping professionals
The equipment is used daily, and its presence is constant in ENEBRO TRABAJOS FORESTALES' projects. They have several upcoming projects planned where the Bobcat MT100 loader will be essential to meeting deadlines and client requirements.
Regarding the support received, Álvaro is quick to highlight the relationship with the dealer: “The ITT Dynamics staff has been key throughout the entire process. From advice to training and aftersales service, the treatment has been excellent.”
For those who work in landscaping, gardening or green space maintenance, the Bobcat MT100 presents itself as an efficient, compact and powerful solution. Álvaro continued: “I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone who does the same work as me. It's a machine that delivers and makes the daily work of professionals in our sector easier.”
