Bobcat T770: track loader and inspection
The Bobcat T770 is a large compact track loader designed for construction, earthmoving and municipal services. We'll look at its purpose, versions, key features and what to check when buying a used T770.
T770 in brief
The T770 is one of Bobcat's larger track loaders. Tracks exert less pressure on the ground and grip better in soft earth, mud or snow than wheels, making the machine suitable for tough conditions.
The loader can spin on the spot, making it highly manoeuvrable. You can attach buckets, forks, grapples, rakes, tiller and other attachments via the quick coupler.
Versions and trims
The machines differ by cab (usually enclosed with heating and air conditioning), control type, additional hydraulics and attachments. Some have high-flow hydraulics for tillers and other powerful attachments.
Before buying, it's worth checking which attachments and quick coupler are included in the package, as well as the type of tracks (rubber) fitted.
Engine and key components
The T770 is powered by a diesel engine. It requires regular oil and filter changes, and newer machines may have exhaust gas recirculation systems.
Key components: hydrostatic transmission with hydraulic motors, rubber tracks, sprockets and rollers, lift arm, hydraulic cylinders, quick coupler plate.
What to check when buying a used T770
Check the engine hours, starting, smoke, and leakage. Test the forward, reverse, and in-place turning — movements should be smooth, without juddering or strange noises.
Pay particular attention to the wear on the tyres, rims, and wheel bearings — replacement can be expensive. Check the lift arm pins and bushes, cylinders, and the quick coupler plate, as well as the operation of any additional hydraulics.
Versions and trims
Names and equipment vary by market and year of production; we list the versions most commonly found in Europe.

Frequently asked questions
How does the T770 differ from the S650?
The T770 has tracks, while the S650 has wheels. Tracks are better suited to soft terrain, wheels to hard surfaces and are cheaper to run.
What is the weight of the Bobcat T770?
Weight depends on the specification. Check the exact mass and towing capacity in the documentation of the specific machine.
Is it worth buying a T770 with high hours?
Yes, if there is a service history and the transmission and undercarriage have been checked. Without a history, high mileage is a risk.
