Bobcat S70

Bobcat loaders deliver the right amount of power to each component. That directly translates to more power and balanced performance. Each component - including the engine, pumps, and hydraulic system - is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance. For you, that means faster cycle times and better job-site productivity.

With Bobcat Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC), available on most loader models, the power is in your hands. They're the most advanced joysticks on the market, engineered and built with technology and features to help you run your machine and attachments more efficiently than ever. No other joysticks in the industry come close to delivering this level of customization and control you'll find with SJC. Our system lets you control your loader and attachments easily and comfortably. They’re loaded with many Bobcat-exclusive features.

Bobcat Standard Controls remain the most popular style for compact loaders. Control the drive functions with dual steering levers. Manage the loader lift and tilt with dual foot pedals.

Automatic ride control reduces material spillage, allowing you to travel at faster speeds across rough terrain. Thanks to its dampening effect, the option also increases operator comfort by offering a smoother ride.

With two lift path options, Bobcat skid-steer loaders have you covered. Vertical-lift-path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius-lift-path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height. The durable and patented single-plane design reduces side-to-side lift arm movement and minimizes the load on the pins. Lift arms on Bobcat loaders are rigid, durable and engineered to also protect hose lines. This patented lift-arm design offers productivity you can count on every day. And with both vertical-lift-path and radius-lift-path options, you can pick the style that’s matched to the work you do.

You won’t find a tougher track system on the market. Every component is engineered for lasting durability, including steel imbed tracks, forged steel idlers, and solid-mounted drive motors and hydraulic hoses.

The 2-Speed travel option boosts your top travel speed. Reduce your travel time across jobsites, limit the need to load and unload your machine on a trailer, and shorten your long-haul tasks.
