About Bobcat Skid Steers

Bobcat, Synonymous With Skid Steer

Fargo, North Dakota,-based Bobcat is a leading manufacturer of compact construction equipment. So popular and common are its wheel and track skid steers, people often refer to those types of equipment as “Bobcats” regardless of the brand. It helps that the white machines with orange accents are an instantly recognizable feature on many construction projects. Other names for the skid steer include the more generic “loaders,” “compact track loaders,” and “skip loaders.”

Bobcat’s Top Models

The most common Bobcat skid steer models you’ll find for sale on MachineryTrader.com are often the Bobcat S650 and the Bobcat T650. The S500, S600, and S700 Series wheel skid steers and the T500, T600, and T700 Series track skid steers, or compact track loaders, account for a significant bulk of the new and used Bobcat equipment at MachineryTrader.com. Commonly, these machines ship with a standard bucket; however, Bobcat manufactures a range of attachments, letting you perform a variety of tasks beyond just digging. Also popular are the Bobcat MT52, MT55, MT85, and other M Series track skid steers (pictured here).

Highlights Of The Bobcat S650 & Bobcat T650

Features that both the S650 and T650 have in common include powerful hydraulics and support for Bobcat’s exclusive Bob-Tach attachments and Bob-Tach mounting system. This makes it easy to swap non-hydraulic powered attachments without stepping foot out of the cab. And for hydraulic-powered attachments, you just need to connect the hoses following the attachment swap.

The Bobcat T650s and S650s typically for sale on MachineryTrader.com range in age from around 2010 to the present, and the older models are still going strong. If you want more bells and whistles, many of the newer units feature deluxe instrumentation that gives the operator quick access to multiple loader functions, alerts, and usage tracking data. The latest models come with clean-running Tier 4 (Tier IV) diesel engines, automatic ride control, two-speed travel, Bobcat Selectable Joystick Controls, and support for optional remote control.
