Bobcat Utility Vehicle Cost in 2026: UV34 and UV34XL Prices, New and Used

Updated October 2026

Bobcat is best known for skid steers and compact track loaders, but its utility vehicles (UTVs) are popular with contractors, landscapers, farmers, ranchers and property owners who need to haul tools, materials and people around job sites. This guide covers what Bobcat’s UV34 and UV34XL cost in 2026, what you get for the money, how much used models sell for, and how they compare with other work UTVs.

Bobcat UTV prices in 2026

Bobcat dealers set their own prices, which vary by region, options and promotions. One 2026 dealer listing shows:

For context, when Bobcat launched the current UV34 and UV34XL in 2019, they started at about $16,406 and $17,886 respectively, according to Small Vehicle Resource, so prices have risen along with most equipment. Options such as cabs, doors, heaters, power dump beds, roofs and attachments add to the cost. Always get a written quote from local dealers.

What you get: key specs

The UV34 and UV34XL share their core design:

• Diesel models use a 23.5 horsepower, three-cylinder engine, sized just under 25 horsepower so it doesn’t need a diesel particulate filter, according to J.D. Power.
• Gas models offer simpler fueling and lower purchase prices.
• Cargo box rated around 1,250 pounds, with optional power dump.
• Towing capacity of about 2,500 pounds.
• Top speed of about 35 mph, with optional speed limiting for job sites.
• Turf, 2WD and 4WD modes to protect lawns or handle rough terrain.
• The UV34XL seats six on two rows, useful for moving crews.

Gas or diesel?

If you already run diesel equipment, a diesel UTV simplifies fueling. For lighter, occasional use, gas often makes more financial sense.

Used Bobcat UTV prices

Bobcat UTVs hold value reasonably well. EquipBook estimates that a 2024 UV34XL retains about 73% of its original MSRP after two years, with good-condition examples valued at roughly $12,500 to $16,500. Older Bobcat models, such as the 3400 and 3600 series, sell for less. Value depends on:

• Hours and condition.
• Maintenance records.
• Options like cabs and power dump beds.
• Region: prices often run higher in the West and Southwest.

What to check on a used UTV

1. Engine starting, smoke and leaks.
2. CVT belt and transmission operation in all modes.
3. Brakes, steering and suspension.
4. 4WD engagement and differential lock.
5. Frame and cargo bed for cracks or welds.
6. Tires and wheel bearings.
7. Hour meter and service history.

How Bobcat UTVs compare

Bobcat competes with other work-focused UTVs from brands like Kubota, John Deere, Polaris and Can-Am. When comparing, look at:

• Payload and towing capacity for your actual loads.
• Seating: two or three versus five or six.
• Engine type and service intervals.
• Dealer proximity and support, often as important as the machine itself.
• Attachment options, such as snow blades and sprayers.
• Resale value.

If you already buy loaders or mowers from a dealer, buying a UTV from the same dealer can simplify service and financing.

Bobcat’s larger and older UTVs

Bobcat has offered several UTVs over the years. From smallest to largest, J.D. Power lists the 3400, the UV34, the UV34XL, the 3600 and the 3650. The 3600 and 3650 are larger, heavier-duty machines designed for attachments and tougher work, with base prices above the UV34 series. Older 3400 models appear on the used market at lower prices, but parts availability and condition matter more as machines age. If you need serious attachment capability, compare the larger models with the UV34 series before buying.

Insurance and registration

Business use of a UTV usually calls for equipment insurance and liability coverage, and some insurers require proof of operator training. Most UTVs aren’t registered for road use, but some states allow limited road use with registration and equipment such as lights and mirrors. Check your state’s rules and your insurer’s requirements before using a UTV off your property.

Who buys a Bobcat UTV?

• Landscapers moving tools, plants and materials around large properties.
• Contractors on large job sites and developments.
• Farms and ranches checking fences, feeding livestock and carrying supplies.
• Facilities and grounds crews at schools, resorts and campuses.
• Property owners with acreage, woodlots or long driveways to maintain.

Attachments and accessories

Bobcat and its dealers offer accessories that turn a UTV into a year-round work vehicle:

• Cabs, doors and heaters for winter use.
• Roofs and windshields for sun and rain protection.
• Power dump beds for unloading gravel, mulch and soil.
• Snow blades for clearing paths and lots.
• Bed dividers, racks and toolboxes for organizing equipment.
• Lighting and beacons for visibility on job sites.

Budget for the accessories you’ll actually use; a fully enclosed, heated cab can add significantly to the price.

Maintenance basics

Follow the operator’s manual, but expect regular:

• Engine oil and filter changes.
• Air filter checks, more often in dusty conditions.
• CVT belt inspection, especially for heavy towing.
• Greasing of suspension and steering points.
• Brake and tire checks.
• Coolant and fuel system checks, with diesel-specific service for diesel models.

Dealer service records add resale value.

Safety and training

UTVs can roll over, particularly on slopes, during sharp turns or when overloaded. Always wear seat belts, keep arms and legs inside, respect payload and towing limits, and train every operator on the vehicle. For job sites, use speed limiting where appropriate and establish rules for passengers. Federal and state workplace safety rules apply when employees operate UTVs at work.

Rent or buy?

If you need a UTV for a single project or season, renting from an equipment dealer may be cheaper. Buying makes sense when you use one most working days, or year-round on a farm or large property. Compare a year of rental costs against loan payments, insurance, maintenance and expected resale value.

Example: UV34 or UV34XL for a landscaping crew?

A landscaping company with three-person crews needs to move people and materials around large commercial properties. A UV34 seats three and carries tools and plants, while the six-seat UV34XL moves two crews or more passengers at once. For this company, a diesel UV34XL with a power dump bed justifies its higher price by reducing trips. A smaller operation with two-person crews might choose the gas UV34 to save money.

This example is illustrative; use dealer quotes for your situation.

Financing and buying tips

• Ask about promotional financing from the manufacturer or dealer.
• Bundle with other equipment from the same dealer for better pricing and simpler service.
• Consider used or certified pre-owned to save money, especially for occasional use.
• Factor in attachments and accessories from the start.
• Check insurance requirements, especially for business use and employee operators.
