S66 Skid-Steer Loader

When it comes to performance, Bobcat® loaders are in a class by themselves. Each component – including the engine, pumps and hydraulic system – is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance so you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.

The cast-steel lift arm sections of the R-Series loaders are stronger to ensure optimal performance. Combined with the optimized lift-arm linkage, you can handle more challenging jobs with greater confidence and ease.

With Bobcat Standard Controls, available on select models, a lever controls the drive on each side independently, while your feet control the lift arms and bucket. The farther you stroke the lever, the faster you go. The shorter the stroke, the more torque is delivered to the wheels or tracks – allowing maximum power for pushing into a pile. This tried-and-true system is still a popular style of control.

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

The Two-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.

All loaders equipped with Selectable Joystick Control (SJC) can be operated by a remote control system, so you can operate the machine without having to have an operator in the cab. The remote control is completely portable. If you have multiple machines, you can quickly remove the remote from one machine and attach it to another in minutes.

An easy-to-read display panel provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities from inside the cab. Run your equipment more efficiently and solve more problems in the field with the innovative IQ display, which supports multiple languages.

With the most advanced in-cab display for compact equipment, you’ll experience detailed machine information and unprecedented device connectivity. The optional Touch Display features a 800x480-pixel display resolution. Operators can easily view and toggle through machine performance and information on the wide, easy-to-use touchscreen that supports seven languages. Plus, it’s waterproof and hardened to reduce scratching.

R-Series loaders feature a Bobcat® engine. An efficient design provides the performance you need while reducing and simplifying routine maintenance. Thanks to an innovative new fuel system, low fuel levels are more forgiving for busy operators. The engine also improves cold-weather operation and includes a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.

Dual-direction bucket positioning, offered on R-Series loaders, keeps the load at a consistent angle throughout the lift cycle – both up and down – to reduce spilling which increases efficiency and improves ease of operation.

Bobcat Selectable Joystick Control, or SJC, is becoming the most popular control choice among operators. No other joystick in the industry comes close to delivering the level of customization and control. With SJC, you control your loader and attachments easily and comfortably. They're loaded with many Bobcat-exclusive features.

When not carrying a load, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders deliver balanced, easy turning for ideal performance. They offer effective turning and skidding, reduced fuel consumption and power requirements, increased drive train and tire life, and less wear and tear compared to "flat-footed" machines sold by other manufacturers.

Now you can control your Bobcat® loader using an app on your iOS smartphone. This system functions as an extra set of hands when help is limited, allowing quick two-person jobs to be handled by a single operator. It also enables operators to avoid repeated trips in and out of the cab.

With two lift path options, Bobcat 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.

You'll feel so comfortable and at-home in the cab of your Bobcat® skid-steer loader (SSL) or compact track loader (CTL) that you won't want to leave it! You’ll particularly appreciate the premium features and operator-friendly design. View your work area more easily, work at a pleasant temperature, sit comfortably and stay fresh with minimal fatigue. Many comfort options found in Bobcat loaders aren’t even available on other machines.

If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Bobcat® loaders include many sound dampening features that keep your cab quieter.

R-Series loaders maximize open viewing areas by minimizing and removing surfaces and structures that intrude on your sightlines. Thanks to innovative engineering, robust materials and cutting-edge manufacturing, you get the best view on the jobsite.

You'll find it easier to work for longer and perform precise work with the time-tested operator friendly controls on Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders. 1) The engine speed control is conveniently located in front of you. 2) The fingertip controls simplify the operation of Bobcat attachments such as soil conditioners, sweepers, tillers, buckets and grapples. 3) You can adjust the foot pedals to suit your preferences.

Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders are engineered with large swing-open doors, and a lowered door threshold, which provide ample headroom for exit and entry. Inside, even tall operators will be comfortable with plenty of headroom. Additionally, the swing-open door doesn't take up cab space and can be removed without tools.

If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Smooth, quick Bobcat® lift cylinders are automatically cushioned at the fully lowered position. The tilt cylinders are also cushioned at the full dump and rollback positions. This reduces noise and increases comfort during operation.

Maneuver more confidently. Enhance your productivity. Easily see to the sides of your machine. R-Series loaders offer an optional enclosure that maximizes visibility by reducing steel mesh screens from the side windows. The mesh-free windows are made from 3/8-inch thick polycarbonate with an abrasion-resistant coating to allow the optimal view you demand with the durability you expect.

A one-piece, sealed and pressurized cab on R-Series loaders provides a near-seamless interior for a new level of operator comfort. The cab design along with improved seals help reduce noise and vibration for enhanced sound isolation. There are no maintenance items under the rear hood for improved access to hose and electronic connections and major components. Most service items can be accessed without raising the lift arm.

Loader seats are upholstered in comfortable, breathable cloth and equipped with operator-controlled heat for warmth in cold weather. This optional seat provides peak operator comfort with air suspension that adjusts to your weight, smoothing out bumps on the jobsite for an industry-leading operator experience.

As operators trust compact equipment to run longer and do bigger, more difficult jobs, better cooling is essential. The R-Series cooling system is completely redesigned for optimal operation and maximum uptime.

R-Series loaders not only look tougher – they are tougher. Bobcat® lift arms feature cast-steel construction for increased material strength and rigidity. Cast-steel allows more material where it's needed, which provides greater strength while enabling a slimmer profile arm that also enhances visibility.

The redesigned Bobcat® engine on R-Series loaders offers a variety of fuel features, including an efficient fuel tank vent filter, fuel filter pressure sensor, improved fuel recirculation value and more to improve performance and uptime to keep you running strong all day long.

R-Series loaders won't let you down. Critical components are protected from jobsite hazards, vibrations and tough conditions to keep your machine in operation and you on the job.

You can secure your Bobcat skid-steer loader or compact track loader quickly, without having to search for hard-to-reach tie-downs. The tie-downs are easy to locate and use.

The biggest advantage of our Tier 4 solution is simplicity. Bobcat engines meet Tier 4 regulations without a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This reduces downtime that occurs with DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs. That allows operators to focus on working.

Many brands will tout the ability to adjust their loaders' drive chains. These periodic adjustments cost you time, productivity and money. Bobcat has offered a better way for years with its skid-steer loaders: no adjustments.

The bolted axle housings of other manufacturers require periodic adjustments – as normal operation causes turning stress that creates potential loosening. This job demands the removal or loosening of potentially dozens of bolts.

Bobcat welds its axle tubes to the loader chaincase. This, along with tight tolerance chain placement, eliminates the need for adjustments. So instead of spending time in the shop, you can spend time on the job with Bobcat® skid-steer loaders.

You can check your hydraulic oil level quickly and easily as you walk by your machine. Always keep an eye on hydraulic oil levels and simplify your daily checks.

On R-Series loaders, the battery is located under the cab – separated from the engine compartment. Just lift the one-piece cab away for easy access. It's a convenient service location that protects the condition of your battery and provides more room for component access in the engine compartment. A remote terminal, located in the engine compartment, makes it easy to charge the battery or jumpstart the loader if needed.

When it's time for maintenance or repairs, simply lift the entire R-Series cab out of the way using the hardware on the exterior of the cab.

Bobcat makes maintenance simpler and faster with easy-to-access grease point locations on critical pivot points. So you don't have to lie on the ground or stand on the wheels or tracks to grease the pins.

When your engine maintenance is easy to do, your engine maintenance actually gets done. With the redesigned Bobcat® engine, checkpoints are within easy reach. Time is money, and preventive maintenance is quick and simple with R-Series loaders.

Our attachments truly help you do more than dig. Bobcat offers attachment versatility across carriers combined with unbeatable attachment support from the Bobcat dealer network.

With the standard Bob-Tach® mounting system you can change an attachment on your loader in less than a minute. So you can easily use different attachments - bucket, auger, landscape rake, grapple and many others - throughout your day. Developed more than 35 years ago, the Bob-Tach system is time-tested. The Power Bob-Tach is an added comfort and productivity feature that allows some attachments to be connected and removed without the operator leaving the seat just using the switches conveniently located in the cab.

Several attachments require control of more than one function, and our small, seven-pin attachment harness activates power and fingertip control functions while eliminating the need for the mechanical relays used on other loaders. Controls are fully integrated with your Bobcat® loader for a clean look and protected routing.
