Bobcat T770 Worldwide '2011–pr.

21 Dec 2010

Bobcat will launch its new T770 compact tracked loader at the Conexpo trade show in Las Vegas in March.

Powered by the 68.6kW Kubota V3800-DI-T-E3 Stage IIIA diesel engine, the T770 claims a significant increase in power, hydraulic performance and productivity. With an operating weight of 4683kg, the T770 has a rated operating capacity of 1611kg and a tipping load of 4602kg.

Bobcat has increased the standard hydraulic flow on the T770 by more than 30% to 87.1 litres/min to improve attachment performance. High flow hydraulic power has been optimized by ensuring that peak flow occurs close to the rated engine load, providing better fuel efficiency and engine cooling. The higher hydraulic performance also results in faster cycle times with an 18% faster dump/rollback cycle.

The standard maximum travel speed of the T770 is 10.6 km/h, but this can be increased to 17.2 km/h using an optional two-speed system. Traction has been increased by 15 to 20% to provide greater pushing and digging power. A larger fuel tank allows for longer work intervals between refuelling.

Innovations include the Premium Cab design, with more space and improved sound insulation. Bobcat says that the ergonomics are also improved for greater operator comfort, enhanced productivity and better protection both back and front. The cab has also been moved further forwards to improve visibility for the operator both in front and all round the machine.
