Bobcat Raises the Bar Again

Returning to the topic of Compact Tracked Loaders once again this week, with a brand that has long become synonymous with skid steer loaders especially, and that’s Bobcat.

Bobcat Raises the Bar Again

Bobcat were also exhibiting at SaMoTer 2026 in Verona, where they gave European customers the chance to see the new Stage V emissions compliant T650 compact tracked loader.  

Built at the Bobcat plant in Dobris in the Czech Republic, a facility I have had the pleasure of visiting on numerous occasions over the years, the T650 combines the proven performance of the well proven 600-frame M-Series loader with full Stage V emissions compliance – without the need for AdBlue.

Powered by a reliable 2.4-litre Bobcat engine delivering 55 kW (74 HP), the machine offers strong, efficient performance for demanding applications.

Despite its compact footprint, the new T650 delivers impressive work capacity with a vertical lift path and 1192 kg rated operating capacity, making it ideal for truck loading, pallet handling and earthmoving in confined or sensitive job sites.

Designed for durability and uptime, the T650 features the previously mentioned robust steel frame, efficient cooling, broad attachment compatibility with the proprietary Bob-Tach mounting system, optional High-Flow hydraulics and standard Machine IQ telematics for smarter fleet management. Operator comfort and precise control complete the package, making the T650 a versatile, dependable solution for year-round work.

Productivity and comfort meet signature Bobcat toughness in the T650, which packs a lot of power and refinement in a compact body.

The T650 is also an excellent tool carrier, making use of end users existing Bobcat attachments with unrestricted compatibility. Thanks to the forward cab position and fully transparent door, operators always have a full and direct view of the attachment and the job site. And with the powerful LED working lights, they will continue to be productive even in low-light conditions.
