2023 Bobcat T740 Compact Track Loader

Attachment

• ATTACHMENT VERSATILITY: Our attachments help you do much more than dig. Bobcat offers attachment versatility across carriers combined with unbeatable attachment support from the Bobcat dealer network. Quick couplers deliver clean, rapid attachment changes every time, and the attachment control kit simplifies operation. High-flow hydraulics provide a big power boost for select attachments.
• BOB-TACH SYSTEM: Developed more than 35 years ago, the standard Bob-Tach® mounting system is time-tested. With it, you can change attachments quickly and easily. Use a bucket, auger, landscape rake, grapple and other attachments throughout your day.

Comfort

• PREMIUM COMFORT: When you step in the cab of a Bobcat loader, you’ll immediately notice the attention given to operator comfort. Premium features are included everywhere you look. Cab pressurization, sound dampening, ample headroom and legroom, and an adjustable suspension seat are just the beginning.
• CLEAR VISIBILITY: Bobcat skid-steer loader and compact track loader cabs are designed for all-around visibility. As you grade next to a building or load the machine on a trailer, you’ll gain better sight lines for easier operation. View the bucket corners from your seat and easily see the cutting edge. Your tracks or tires are visible without raising the loader arms. A large top window gives you visibility while dumping material into a high-sided truck.
• OPERATOR-FRIENDLY CONTROLS: Time-tested controls on Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders make it easier to work longer and perform precise work. The engine speed control is conveniently located in front of you. Fingertip controls simplify the operation of soil conditioners, sweepers, tillers, buckets, grapples and other attachments. Foot pedals can be adjusted to your preferences.
• SOUND DAMPENING: If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Bobcat® loaders include many sound dampening features that keep your cab quieter.
• PRESSURIZED CAB: In your line of work, you have to dive right in – where the dirt, dust, mud and debris are at their worst. Bobcat loaders with enclosed cabs have a best-in-class pressurized interior space that minimizes dust, keeping you clean and comfortable. The one-piece seal and unique, curved door pocket ensure the best-possible protection. Keep warm air in the cab during frigid conditions and ensure that cool air keeps you comfortable on hot days.
• LIFT CYLINDER CUSHIONING: You’ll experience smoother arm movements with lift cylinder cushioning. It eliminates the need for manual arm slowing and reduces harsh movements. For you, that means less vibration, quieter operation and increased comfort.
• MAXIMUM HEADROOM AND LEGROOM: Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders are engineered with large swing-open doors, and a lowered door threshold, which provide ample headroom for exit and entry. Inside, even tall operators will be comfortable with plenty of headroom. Additionally, the swing-open door doesn't take up cab space and can be removed without tools.
• ADJUSTABLE SEAT: Adjustable seats on our skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders set new standards for comfort. No matter your height, it’s easy to find a comfortable operating position with multiple adjustment points. With the optional air ride seat, you’ll experience maximum suspension comfort. It adjusts to your weight, helping you smooth out the bumps on your jobsite.

Performance

• POWERFUL HYDRAULICS: Bobcat loaders deliver the right amount of power to each component. That directly translates to more power and balanced performance. Each component - including the engine, pumps, and hydraulic system - is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance. For you, that means faster cycle times and better job-site productivity.
• STANDARD CONTROL SYSTEMS: Bobcat Standard Controls remain the most popular style for compact loaders. Control the drive functions with dual steering levers. Manage the loader lift and tilt with dual foot pedals.
• SUPERIOR LIFT ARMS: With two lift path options, Bobcat skid-steer loaders have you covered. Vertical-lift-path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius-lift-path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height. The durable and patented single-plane design reduces side-to-side lift arm movement and minimizes the load on the pins. Lift arms on Bobcat loaders are rigid, durable and engineered to also protect hose lines. This patented lift-arm design offers productivity you can count on every day. And with both vertical-lift-path and radius-lift-path options, you can pick the style that’s matched to the work you do.
• EFFECTIVE WEIGHT BALANCE: When not carrying a load, Bobcat skid-steer loaders offer a weight distribution of 70 percent in the rear and 30 percent in the front for balanced, easy turning and ideal performance. It offers effective turning and skidding, reduced fuel consumption and power requirements, increased drive train and tire life, and less wear and tear compared to “flat-footed” machines sold by other manufacturers.
• SMART COOLING: Bobcat loaders feature the exclusive SmartFAN which only turns as fast as needed. The patented design cools more efficiently, while the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are protected from jobsite hazards. Additionally, Bobcat offers an optional automatic reversing fan which clears debris from the radiator screen while you’re working in dirty environments.

Serviceability

• PANORAMIC SERVICEABILITY: No other loader matches the serviceability of Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders. You receive easy, full access to the engine checks and fills, filters and battery. Unlike other brands, the lift arms do not need to be raised to service the machine. Spend your time completing maintenance work, rather than struggling to gain access.
• GREASE POINT ACCESS: Maintenance is easier and faster with easy-to-access grease zerk locations on critical pivot points. With Bobcat compact loaders, there’s no need to lay on the ground or stand on tracks or tires to access grease points.
• TRANSVERSE ENGINE AND BELT DRIVE: Bobcat loaders offer one-sided serviceability thanks to the exclusive belt-drive system. This durable technology with a multi-groove Kevlar™ belt allows your loader engine to run slower for reduced noise and increased durability. It’s also more efficient with an optimized engine-to-pump package.
• HYDRAULIC OIL SITE GAUGE: Check your hydraulic oil level quickly and easily as you walk by your machine. Keep an eye on hydraulic oil levels and simplify your daily checks.

Uptime Protection

• PROTECTED COMPONENTS: Jobsite hazards are everywhere and when your machine is out of operation for repairs, you lose valuable work time and money. With Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders, you’re ready for nearly anything that you’ll encounter. Each component is designed for reliable protection. For you, that means peace of mind, no matter the conditions of your jobsite.
• COLD WEATHER PROTECTION: Bobcat diesel engines are engineered to guard against the damaging effects of extreme cold weather. They prevent premature wear by automatically adjusting the idle speed (rpm) to warm up oil and automatically set a maximum operating speed (rpm) to prevent premature component wear or failure.
• PROTECTION TECHNOLOGIES: Every skid-steer and compact track loader is engineered with multiple protection technologies. Working together, they protect your machine and decrease the risk of failure. For you, that means better reliability and the confidence to do your work.
• SIMPLE MACHINE TIE-DOWNS: Quickly secure your skid-steer loader or compact track loader without searching for hard-to-reach tie-downs. The tie-downs are easy to locate and use.
• MAINTENANCE-FREE CHAINCASE: Many brands will tout the ability to adjust their loaders' drive chains. These periodic adjustments cost you time, productivity and money. Bobcat has offered a better way for years with its skid-steer loaders: No adjustments. Bobcat welds its axle tubes to the loader chaincase. This, along with tight tolerance chain placement, eliminates the need for adjustments. So instead of spending time in the shop, you can spend time on the job with Bobcat skid-steer loaders.
• KEEL-SHAPED UNDERCARRIAGE: Most other skid-steer loaders have flat bottoms. When conditions turn wet and muddy, they can easily sink, spin and struggle. With the industry-exclusive keel-shaped undercarriage, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders perform better and reduce your chances of getting stuck.
• NON-DPF ENGINE: The biggest advantage of our Tier 4 solution is simplicity. Bobcat engines meet Tier 4 regulations without a diesel particulate filter (DPF). This reduces downtime that occurs with DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs. That allows operators to focus on working.
