Bobcat S70 expert review
Overview
Built to navigate tight quarters, the S70 blends compact design with diesel power and hydraulic versatility via quick-attach functionality.
Diesel reliability with aux hydraulics and Bob-Tach versatile ends.
Specs scattered—no single source.
Performance & Efficiency
Efficient Kubota diesel engine with hydrostatic drive delivers smooth power, and 9.8 gal/min aux flow supports a range of attachments.
In Comparison
Think of it as a loader version of a QH12 or micro-excavator—not a digger but a mover in tight spaces.
Verdict
Perfect if tight spaces and basic loader work are in your job specs—but not the pick for comfort or heavy digging demands.
