2019 Bobcat® Skid-Steer Loaders S650

The Bobcat® S650 skid-steer loader is a vertical lift path model in the 600 frame size. It offers increased lifting capacity and provides greater forward reach at full lift height for loading trucks. The Tier 4 diesel engine delivers power and performance.

Features may include:

• Bobcat® loaders consistently meet your high expectations for performance. The design, balance and weight distribution deliver more usable horsepower, powerful breakout forces and faster cycle times. Work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.

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

• Bobcat Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) are becoming the most popular control choice among operators. No other joysticks in the industry comes close to delivering the 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.

• 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 load on the pins.

• Lift arms on Bobcat® loaders keep every pin at each pivot point within the same plane. Additionally, the pins are supported on both sides vs. just one side (cantilever design) that you'll see in other machines. The result is that Bobcat loader lift arms have less lateral deflection (side-to-side lift arm movement) and reduced load on the pins themselves. It results in less wear and prevents unwanted spillage of material. Additionally hoses are routed through the loader arms and frame uprights to minimize potential snag points.

• When not carrying a load, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders offer a weight distribution of 70 percent in the rear and 30 percent in the front delivers balanced, easy turning for ideal performance. It offers 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.

Deluxe Instrumentation brings upgraded communication, monitoring, productivity and control to your Bobcat® skid-steer loader or compact track loader. It monitors key loader functions, communicates alerts and provides additional attachment information to track usage.

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.

Cooling on Bobcat® loaders features the exclusive SmartFAN that only turns as fast as needed. The patented design cools more efficiently, while the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are protected from jobsite hazards. Additionally, Bobcat offers an optional automatic reversing fan which clears debris from the radiator screen while you’re working in dirty environments.
