Key differences

  • Power vs. Volume: The CAT 226B3 delivers more engine power, while the Bobcat S510 handles higher bucket volumes, ideal for bulk material transport.

  • Fuel Efficiency: The S510's larger tank reduces refueling frequency, especially on long work shifts.

  • Size & Clearance: With a wider bucket and slightly higher dump clearance, the Bobcat may outperform in high-volume, low-density applications.

  • Origin Matters: Preference for Bobcat or CAT could be influenced by spare parts availability or regional servicing networks.
