Construction loader Bobcat S70

So, I’ve had some time working with the Bobcat S70, and while it sure has its benefits, a few things stand out. It’s perfect for tight spots - navigating through those narrow pathways is a breeze. The engine feels reliable, but the cab could be more spacious. After a long day, those foot controls feel a little cramped. Fueling up is straightforward, though I wish the gauge was better positioned. It clears snow efficiently, but the heater could use more output. Overall, it’s a strong performer, though it’s not without quirks.

Gave the S185 a spin last week. The build quality holds up, and the bucket size at five and a half feet is decent for general needs. Its counterrotation capability adds to maneuverability in tighter spaces. That said, the top speed isn't entirely thrilling. Overall, good for various tasks but has limited comfort for extended operation hours.

Using the Yanmar Vio 80 has been a solid experience. The power it delivers feels adequate for most tasks I throw at it. Maintenance access isn't too complicated, though on colder days, starting can take a bit longer than I'd prefer. Anyway, it's functional and dependable for the most part.

I’ve had some time using the Bobcat E26 and, overall, it’s a solid piece of equipment. The digging capabilities are reliable; that 9-foot-plus depth is a definite plus. The hydraulic flow is sufficient for most attachments I've tried, though in heavy-use situations, it could feel a touch underpowered. The cab, especially with the HVAC option, adds comfort during longer hours, but accessing controls feels slightly cramped at times. Maintenance access is fairly straightforward. Pricing seems fair for what you get. If you’re in the market for this class of mini excavator, it’s worth considering.

I've been using the Bobcat S185 for several years and feel its compact design makes it highly maneuverable. The operability is straightforward, although adjustments might occasionally be needed. Overall, it gets the job done efficiently without major setbacks.

Used the Bobcat S550 for site preparation last month. Power delivery was consistent, enabling effective handling of heavy loads. The operator cab had decent visibility and adequate space, making longer hours manageable. However, I feel that the hydraulic flow while multitasking could occasionally lag slightly. Maintenance notifications were very helpful in keeping up with servicing needs. This machine proves dependable for various assignments.

Used the Bobcat E26 on a recent project. It's overall a reliable piece of equipment. One thing I noticed is that while its hydraulic system performs decently, there's minor wear visible on certain components; though it didn't noticeably affect operations during use. The cab offers a reasonable level of comfort. Digging efficiency was satisfactory, and maintenance seems straightforward.

Drove the Nissan NT400 for a few months mostly for deliveries around town. The size is handy, fits into city traffic way better than bigger trucks. Parking is less of a pain too. There's storage space in the cab but not as much as I'd hoped, end up tossing stuff on the passenger seat sometimes. Clutch took a week or two to get used to, now it’s fine. Didn’t run into any big problems except some rattling from the cargo area. Not bad on the maintenance front either, though parts aren’t always at the shop. Overall, not too many surprises.

I spent quite a few hours in the SK140 and the first thing that hit me was the cab setup, it's way above what I’m used to. Loads of adjustments for seat and controls, even with my height I felt comfy. The screen and all the cameras are really handy, even though that display could use bigger icons - bit annoying squinting to pick the right thing. The foot pedals are super comfy, they actually thought about foot shape it feels like. I do wish they added a backup start system, you only start it through the main control. All in all, cab’s top notch but minor stuff could easily be fixed.

Having used the D8 recently, I can say its performance stands out. The powertrain ensures effective material handling, and the traction is impressive even on tricky ground. However, I noticed some vibrations during extended use which could be toned down. The blade options provide versatility, which is handy across tasks.
