All wheel steer for new Bobcat

The new unit offers both all-wheel steer and skid-steer drive options by simply pressing a switch, the units also offer a vertical lift path and a 1508kg rated operating capacity.

The A770 replaces the A300 model, and was designed to meet the needs of users who require the low ground disturbance, reduced tyre wear and faster travel speed of a small wheel loader, but also the maneuverability and versatility of a skid-steer. This makes the A770 the ideal machine for landscapers, retaining wall installers, paving crews and general contractors, as well as industrial users who face multiple operating conditions on a daily basis.

The design provides superior lift height (3353mm), reach (800 mm), and dump angle (42 degrees) for easy truck loading. Units come standard with two-speed transmission and a travel speed of 19.8 km/h in high range, the A770 is equipped with a 68.6kW liquid-cooled Tier 3 diesel engine and has an operating weight of 4291kg.

New job-enhancing features have been added to the optional deluxe instrumentation panel, available only on M-Series machines, the panel intelligently monitors key loader functions, and the keyless start with password protection helps prevent theft.

Noise is another factor affecting operator comfort, and Bobcat reduced the sound level of M-Series loaders by more than 60 percent. New engine mounts improve isolation to decrease vibration and reduce sound levels.
