Bobcat’s first backhoe loader for North America
The new Bobcat B760 backhoe loader is designed to maximize reach and simplify operation
Bobcat has entered the North American backhoe loader market with its first model, the B760. Bobcat has previously offered backhoe loaders in Southeast Asia.
"The new B760 helps operators accomplish more on the job site with its dig, load, and carry versatility," says Jamison Wood, Bobcat product development specialist. "The backhoe loader is designed for durability, easy operation, simple maintenance, and incredible performance. Its size keeps it accessible on sites with limited space, while its impressive travel speeds keep operators productive across large job sites."
Applications for Bobcat's backhoe loader include excavation, site preparation, material handling, trenching, and snow removal.
Bobcat B760 backhoe loader specs
Bobcat's first backhoe loader has a lift capacity of more than 2,200 pounds at full reach; digging depth of 18 feet 5 inches; and nearly 180 degrees of backhoe swing for less repositioning and fast cycle times.
It comes with a standard-equipped extendable arm that provides up to 8 inches of additional dig depth compared to other machines of the same size, according to Bobcat. The front-end loader provides a lift capacity of 7,985 pounds with its standard, general purpose bucket.
Powered by a turbocharged 3.4-litre Bobcat engine with DPF, the B760 delivers powerful, high-torque performance and efficiency. The power shift transmission provides quick direction changes while the backhoe loader's quick travel speeds allow operators to minimize the need for a trailer.
