Bobcat T180 expert review

Reviewed by Wade A. on April 28, 2026

Overview

The Bobcat T180 (2005–2007) is a compact track loader designed for loading, grading, landscaping, cleanup, and soft-ground work. It offers 816.47 kg lifting capacity, low 0.34 bar ground pressure, and a 2.23 m dump height, making it practical for buyers who need simple tracked-loader capability in a compact package.

Expert rating: 3 stars

Pros Low ground pressure, decent lifting capacity, and stable tracked movement.

Cons Older model with modest hydraulic flow and lower productivity than newer compact track loaders.

Performance & Efficiency

The turbocharged engine setup gives the T180 practical response for light to medium loading, grading, landscaping, and cleanup work. Its 816.47 kg lifting capacity, 2.23 m dump height, 61.7 lpm hydraulic pump flow, and 11.43 kph forward speed make it useful for basic loader tasks, while the 0.34 bar ground pressure helps reduce surface damage on softer ground.

In Comparison

Cat 249: More refined option with stronger dealer support and newer-machine appeal.
Cat 257: Better suited for heavier tracked loader work and stronger resale confidence.
Bobcat T180: More budget-focused, with simple tracked-loader performance for light to medium jobs.

Final Verdict

Rated 3 stars, the Bobcat T180 is a practical older compact track loader within the AED 42,000–110,000 range for buyers who need affordable tracked-loader capability, provided the machine condition and undercarriage are checked carefully.
