Bobcat's S750 skid-steer loader joins the Bobcat M-Series loader line, which includes the S630, S650, S770 and S850 skid-steer loaders, and the T630, T650, T750, T770, and T870 compact track loaders. The S750 delivers 11 feet of vertical lift -- 3.5 inches higher than a S300 -- and features a 23-gallons-per-minute standard hydraulic flow -- 11 percent more than the S300 it replaces. The S750 has an operating weight of 8,730 lbs., a rated operating capacity of 3,200 lbs., and is powered by an 85hp turbo-diesel engine.

Job-enhancing features were added to the optional deluxe instrumentation panel. Available only on M-Series machines, the panel intelligently monitors key loader functions, and the keyless start helps prevent theft. The new 5-inch, full-color LCD screen offers better readability and interaction. Easy-to-read virtual sweep gauges allow the operator to quickly read and understand the machine's performance.

The auxiliary hydraulic quick couplers are mounted directly to the front plate of the lift arm to provide a solid mounting, and hoses are routed through the loader arms for better protection. A guard bar extends in front of the coupler for added protection.

Bobcat redesigned the cooling system on the M-Series for increased efficiency and higher performance. The new design also makes it easier to clean out the cooling system, with an oil cooler that swings up, allowing the operator to clean the area between the oil cooler and the radiator.

The S750, like other M-Series loader models, features a unique cab-forward design that moves the operator closer to the attachment and provides visibility in all directions.

The cab door threshold has been lowered and the overall surface of the door has increased more than 40 percent to provide improved visibility and make it easier for operators to enter and exit the cab.

Windows on the sides and rear of the cab have also been increased in size to provide more visibility to the tires and to the rear. The larger top window makes it easier and more comfortable for the operator to see the attachment with the lift arms raised.

Bobcat increased the size of the M-series cab by 10 percent, improved cab pressurization, and redesigned the interior to allow operators to adjust the environment to their individual preferences.

Bobcat M-Series loaders have a new one-piece seal that goes all the way around the door and fits into a special curved pocket. This minimizes the amount of dirt and dust that might enter the cab, creating improved working conditions and making it easier to clean the cab.

The company also reduced the sound level of M-Series loaders by more than 60 percent. New engine mounts improve isolation to decrease vibration and reduce sound levels.

The control levers on the optional Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) move up and down in conjunction with the seat to reduce arm movement and fatigue as the operator controls the machine. The joystick mounts slide forward or backward to adjust to the preference of each individual operator.
