This is some great information. The width and 60/40 sound like good compromises that make it a better machine for most. I like the idea of a machine that is better for most loads, and you can easily add ballast for the edge cases. We had a bobcat when I was a kid and I liked it and its the brand I will probably get myself when I finally get a skid steer.

I've often bought something and regretted it, mainly due to not knowing as much as I should. Only way to learn is experience, or keep an old timer in your pocket. Appreciate you doing this, acknowledging your level of experience. We are all learning, nice to know you tv guys are too!

I rented a 325g and was convinced I needed a ctl, but only one I could buy was a Bobcat T66. The 325G was a year out and Kubota was 2months out. I'm getting to 1.5yrs and 800hrs on the T66 now, pretty happy so far. Had one warrantee issue with the cab harness going bad. Bobcat replaced the harness no charge and has been great to deal with. Love the speed and the float on the loaded bucket. I can run full speed with the bucket loaded over rough terrain and not spill anything which speeds up jobs a lot. Here's a quick list of everything I've broken or had to repair. Broke my windshield door twice, had the air ride seat get stuck on and popped the bladder, I damaged my leveling sensor with ice and dirt crushing it, broke a plastic part inside my door handle, and melted the belt cover with too much heat being pumped on it while cleaning things in the back. Probably the biggest thing I'd change is the lack or heat down by my feet. When I'm operating in extreme cold, I'll often wear Baffin boots because my feet will get cold in anything else. The cab produces lots of heat for the windshields and the upper portion of the cab but not much for the operators feet.

Thanks, Brock. I am actually thinking about skid steer and grading information. Thank you very much. Great video.

Very helpful. Good to hear the Bobcat guy say that all brands will have issues. Some minor, some major. But I think this is machine, not brand specific. All the major brands have sound machines, but there are lemons that get out from all of them. 3 years ago I was in the market for a skid steer to mulch. At the time Bobcat's biggest machine (870?) did not have built in extra hydraulic cooler, and forestry door was a big upgrade. My salesman said if I was 90% mulching I should look at ASV. I did and bot the 75, and upgraded to a 135 last year. Very happy. But I appreciated that salesmans honesty. 2 weeks later he called me saying I know you wern't looking for a mini Ex, but we had a customer order an E42 6 months ago (this was mid 21 during Covid shortages) and it is coming in next week. He couldn't wait and bot a used machine and want's his deposit back. Would I be interested? Went down, looked at it and bot it. What a great decision. Skid's work faster, but a mini ex is a swiss army knife. So a good salesman got me where i needed to go (not with him), but got a nice sale for his trouble. Lastly, unless you are mulching or breaking pavement, which require extra cooling and as much hydraulic HP as you can get, all major brands have good machines for dirt work, occasional mulching, farm etc. Get the machine with the best local dealer!

I'm impressed with the machine... whoever put that guy in sales is a genius ! He is what we all hope to encounter when we walk up to get the straight skinny on a machine. pc

I’ve owned two case skid loaders (wheeled) and now two Bobcats T650 and current T770 as well as E55 and E60 excavator. I like my bobcats!

I love my old Bobcat T590. It is 10 years old and still running strong. If you do change machines, and no matter what brand you go with, I would suggest you get it with the 2-speed ground travel option, track suspension roller system and backup camera (for kids and animals at your place). I do find the door a pain with certain attachments installed but understand why it is like this. My door seals so tight that it is hard to latch unless the window is cracked open a little bit. Yes, the door is adjusted correctly. I do take my door off for most the year (except when it is extremely hot or cold) and have found this solves the problem with getting in and out. The door is very easy to remove, and install, and if the temperature does turn on you while it is off, you can still run the heat or A/C with the door off and not suffer. Good luck with your demo!

Yep BOBCAT. Good timing on the video. Locked in on a t62. Nice machines. Dealer has been great to deal with on excavator we have and other rentals plus very close. Thanks. Dave.

I have a 2022 T76 wide track for private use. I really like the machine. No dpf or blue government juice to worry about. The only issues I have had was a hose clamp recall on the radiator along with the radio loses communication (requires power cycle to come back - not many times). The only loss of power I have noticed was going up a steep hill while using a hydraulic function, but this was at a quicker ground speed. If I had to buy another one I would get a bobcat T66. Slightly smaller framed machine with the same 74 hp as the T76. The weight on the 66 is slightly less for trailering. The T66 can have counter weights added which can get the lift capacity closer to the T76. Looking to hopefully obtain a E42 or E50 R2 in the near future to complete the collection.

This video was so informative. Thank you for posting.

Darned nice unit. I have a New Holland C345 now that I like. This C345 replaced my new C332, which I had a lot of trouble with. If I get another skid it’s going to be a Bobcat.

Great video. There is a nearby Bobcat dealer in Milford, PA. Will check them out.

I have a Case 430 skid steer with the Cummins 4BT engine. I operate a Premier trencher and auger with it. The Case 430 has the low flow hydraulics but I never had any issues as my attachments are geared for that. I never had issues with this machine. Highly recommended! I had a friend who had a paving company and he owned 15 Bobcat skid steers. He told me to stay away from them as Bobcat had too many electrical problems. He told me at any given time, he had only 9 of the 15 machines operational at once. That was a telling statement to me. I'm a Cummins believer as I own 2 Dodge 3500 trucks. Bought the Case and never looked back.

I rented a tracked Manitou 1350 RT 2023 model year from Home Depot about a week ago. I used it for about 14hrs straight mainly for terracing a farm hillside. It didn’t like turn in its place either. I had to full throttle it and it barely turned acting like it didn’t like it. Other than that the joystick control and foot throttle was great. I own a old wheeled Bobcat that would cause too much compaction and fall off the terraces probably rolling down the hill.

The Kubota model 3 with its excavator door is amazing! It seals tight. We got cats where I’m working. The standard door is a pain if you ever had the latter. The seals on the standard doors seal from the outside to the cab. The excavator door seals from the inside. Which when you turn the heat or ac on it pushes or pressures up against the door which helps it seal even more. I highly recommend the Kubota. Great machine that u can get out of at anytime

I have a Deere 329e compact track loader and a 320G skid steer. I have no issues with steering. My only complaint on my G model is the hydraulic pump is louder than the E model. I will stick with Deere.

Good sales rep for sure. These new Cat 255 and 265 fixing to put some pressure on them. Cat has been doing torsion bar suspension for quite some time, sealed one piece cab and the most quiet cab on the market. These newer R series machines are nice hope for their sale the Dooson part don’t run them in the ground.

Will you do a review on the yanmar Skid Loader. I heard it has a lot of excellent features. Like extra Leg room Nice visibility from the cab. And protected high flow. Connections. On the boom. And maybe Cf. They will let you do a demo. That would be cool.

Old info on the Kubota. The SVL75-3 seals really well and vents are lower and upper. It also has addressed the multi-function capability with turning and operating the boom and AUX with an Advance Multi-function valve. Btw, I was traveling down I-77 North of Statesville, NC and saw the big Bobcat factory. They had many attachments in the storage lot.

I’ve been running that T86 all week with a mulcher. It’s a beast and plenty of power and I’m not even using the super flow. Just basic high flow.

If you got a good deal dealership, that goes a long way

I look at it this way , buy something you can get parts easily, best service and that meets all your needs.

I bought a Kubota SVL-97 BECAUSE it has a roll up door ! I live in Vermont, and don't need air conditioning every day, but I do need to hear the guys working around me, and I need to communicate with the guys outside of the machine, something you can barely do with a closed front door and the engine running !

That's quite the radiator they pack into those little units. Thinking about how a guy would clean it, you'd have to get an air hose under it and blow upwards to avoid blowing the mess into the fan and onto the engine.. Ran the Deere in the dry months last year and you would have fine dirt piled on that back lid over an inch thick. not sure how that horizontal rad position would handle it. Thank you both - Bobcat should loan you a unit after the work you've done here!

I bought a new Bobcat E50-R2 Excavator a couple years ago. AC has never worked right. If it's over 80 outside it starts to get to hot inside. On the warmest days I'm lucky if it can keep the cab 10 degrees cooler than the outside temperature and it regularly gets into the 90's here(Southern IL). Also when it's humid at all out water starts coming out of the vents, a lot of water. The dealer has had the machine several times and hasn't fixed it. They claim that the AC is "within specs" . I've checked the temps at the vents and it varies between about 48 and 60+ degrees. As far as water from the vents blowing in my face, they said they were told by Bobcat to tell me to turn the blower down. The dealer admitted to me after the last service that they have a rental machine with the same problem. Other than the AC system I really like the machine, but at this point I will never buy a Bobcat product again. As far as skidsteers, I have a Case TR310B and love the machine. Plenty of power for it's size, good viability a comfortable cab.

Only complaints I have with my 2021 T66 is the hydraulic QDs on the loader arm are too exposed (have to be careful with grapples) and also the ever-present electrical gremlins. Losing radio communication, camera stops working, etc. But otherwise, its awesome and does everything I need it to do...farm work and construction

True... Everyone is decated to what they use

I would highly advise you to wait until the new Deere P series comes out. It will literally burry a G series. They fixed and addressed a lot of current Deere issues. There are some big negatives on the Bobcat that weren’t mentioned. Also try recalibrating your hydrostats.

But pushing power you’ll definitely miss about a John Deere the bobcat can’t touch the power of the Deere. Even in the turning I haven’t noticed a T66 being any better. What I have noticed in a T66 is it’s much quieter, it’s faster through its operation circle and speed. It’s 3x better on fuel!!! What a big deal when you run it all day as a business owner I wish I could save that! Their technology far exceeds John Deere. I’d 100% buy a bobcat. There are some things I dislike about my Deere. But power in turning with weight never noticed. What I do notice is when people say they lack power in turning while’s doing other operations they are usually in 2 gear and that in my opinion isn’t healthy operations in any machine even if it can do it iits premature wear 2 gear is to get from site to site minimal turning or carting materials not under huge stress. I see what to many final drives get blown because operators think you can be in 2 gear all the time.

Bobcat mini's and ctls are built in ND

Bobcats biggest fall back is service and that is why we left them. Parts are higher at the counter than most competitors, service is slow and sub industry, we had more downtime than running time because of service techs under warranty. So it’s more than just the machine itself.

the most important thing that will determine if I buy another bobcat, are you still going ahead with the 'subscription' model for 'features' or have they come to their senses? a monthly fee for high flow or 2 speed is a dumb idea that will have me buy a Kubota

Change the oil at 750 hours.... I've had my tractor for 5 years and I think I just crossed 400 hours! LOL

We have a John Deere 324G (it is the same as your skid steer but it has tires) and i think your turning issue is because you have tracks. Because we have never had that problem. I personally do not like Bobcat tho. We have a bad experience with Bobcat, motor issues, hydraulic issues, hydraulic cylinder issues. And the only issue we have had with the Deere is we broke a hydraulic line, (and a flat tire).

I think that takeuchi is the best skid steer/mini track loader!!!

I’ve heard a lot of good things about them, but only ran one once at a show

A SVL97 is not 84” wide. It’s 80” so it fits ok on a contractor special trailer. Anymore it’s all about dealer support, all machinery has issues so it’s just best to pick who would take care of you. I like Deere ok but visibility is terrible on them. It’s like sitting in a bathtub, little view of anything below the lift arms. Bobcat is superior for visibility vs Deere.. the new -3 Kubota has a sealed cab and revised door. Even with a few drawbacks, the roll up door makes more sense.

Does he mean assembly in USA ,like putting the stickers on a machine made in Korea?

Engine is built in Korea, rest of machine built in USA. North Dakota. All engineering takes place in us and UK.

That's what I want you to get a forest machine

I have both the Deere and bobcat for windrowing and leveling , I feel like the bobcat is a little underpowered compared to the deere but maybe I got a janky bobcat skid steer 😂

What engine does Bobcat use? I've really enjoyed these videos Brock your channel is awesome keep up the great work.

I don’t know, but I will ask. I’ve been texting with this Salesman from the video.

The bobcat representative just told me that the engine is made by Dusan and it’s manufactured in Bismarck North Dakota. The skid steer is built in the USA in one of their three plants. Not assembled, but fully produced

@@RockhillfarmYT I might be wrong but I believe that Dusan is a part of KIOTI tractors. Thanks for answering my question. May God bless you and your family and business.

@BigTader no, they are similar sounding names, but Doosan owns bobcat Daedong owns kioti

What is that door

Swing doors are stupid, it's a deal breaker for a lot of people in construction fields as you cannot exit a machine if the arm isn't perfectly down. Once you try overhead doors ull never wanna go to swing doors

This salesman is very well acquainted with this machine and I really appreciate that. However, he did sell us on a couple of things that are not true. For auxiliary circuit flow, he told us that this 105 hp machine can produce 44 gpm at 4200 psi. The hydraulic horsepower equation quickly shows that pressure and flow to equal 108 horsepower which is obviously impossible. Even if the hydraulics were 100% efficient (which they are not), dedicating 105 hp to the auxiliary circuit would mean that the machine would have 0 hp available for any other function while running the circuit at full capacity. The matter of higher case pressure improving the speed at which direction of flow between functions changes is not at all helpful in a situation where you're asking a machine to smoothly divide flow between two functions. Also case pressure is often developed by internal leakage which a parasitic loss that wastes hydraulic power by converting it into heat. We don't want that. This machine does have some really nice features. I do appreciate the idea of running remotely at a pretty low cost. I'd like to try that, but I'm thinking that it's probably more of a safety hazard more than a practical function. Keeping the operator in the cab keeps him from getting run over or tangled in an auger just like keeping two hands on a chainsaw keeps your hands out of the chain. Again, I do very much appreciate this fella's knowledge and dedication to his job here. It's difficult to find people who are passionate ate about what they do. Top tier salesman.

If I buy another skid steer, it will have to feature side entry, so I can ingress and egress without having to crawl over or step under the load. It's not safe to go under an elevated load. Shalom/gw

So spend 115k on a unique brand like JCB or come to the realization that going over or under the load is just a basic characteristic of a skid steer.

Bobcat is known for their weak hydraulic pumps. I will tell you as a matter of fact that you put that 325G up against this T66 and it will outperform it in every single task you put them up to. I genuinely recommend you get a demo on this machine and test it in the same tasks as your deere. there is no comparison between time and efficiency.

T66 will run circles around 325g . 7mph in low speed, lift and tilt twice as fast. 325 g. 5 mph in low speed. . Deere has loudest cab in the business. Visibility is terrible

horrible visibility

You're right Brock, everyone knows someone that's disgruntled. A huge youtuber mechanic had Bobcat and got tired if fixing it which was always expensive to do. He switched to IHI, just saying.
