The S70 can access sites with narrow openings

Against the backdrop of 50 years of leadership in the compact loader market, Bobcat is aiming to build on its legacy with the launch of the new S70 skid-steer loader, the smallest model in the Bobcat loader range. 

Replacing the 463 model, which previously set the standard in its class, the new S70 raises the bar further by combining all the advantages of a truly compact loader with new features and improvements offering significantly enhanced performance and durability. 
With a width of 901 mm, a height of 814 mm, an overall length with standard bucket of 2,553 mm and an operating weight of only 1,291 kg, the new S70 skid-steer loader ticks all the boxes for compactness, transportability and manoeuvrability. 
With its small dimensions, the S70 model can access sites with narrow openings such as gates, alleys or aisles.  The S70 is driven by the 16.8 kW Kubota D1005-E3B-BC-3 diesel engine, a Tier IV system that runs cleaner with 50 per cent lower particulate emissions.
In other Bobcat developments, Bobcat extended the company’s family of auger drive units for a range of applications in plant hire, construction, landscaping, roads, agriculture and estate management from drilling holes for groundworks, foundations and motorway barriers to planting trees and erecting fences.  Bobcat has added the new 15H and 30H augers, which like the current range of 10, 15C and 30C models, can all be mounted on Bobcat compact loaders, excavators and telehandlers.
Unlike the existing 15C and 30C models which have a combination output shaft accepting both round and hexagonal auger bits, the new 15H and 30H augers come standard with a hexagonal output shaft only.  The advantage offered by having only a hexagonal output shaft is an increase in robustness that makes these augers the ideal choice for severe and heavy duty applications.  The 15H and 30H augers accept all the Bobcat Heavy Duty auger bits as well as the company’s Rock auger bits, both types of bits having a hexagonal mounting system.
