Strong. Compact. Maneuverable. The S130’s 60 in. width makes this a great performer for its size – and the tight, 6-foot turning radius lets you handle big jobs in small areas. It’s perfect for a variety of applications such as construction, landscaping, excavating, fertilizer plants, foundries and much more. The roomy, quiet cab is easy to enter and exit and the versatile Bob-tach attachment mounting system provides fast, secure attachment changes.
Some of the features of the Bobcat S130 include:
Attachment Control Device:
- In simplest terms, the optional Attachment Control Device makes it possible for the loader and attachment to communicate.
Bob-Tach® Attachment Mounting System:
- Change attachments in less than a minute! You can replace a bucket with a pallet fork, landscape rake, auger, grapple, and more than 55 Bobcat attachments quickly and easily with the Bob-Tach® mounting system.
Control in Your Hands:
- With Bobcat compact skid-steer loaders, you can feel and control the loader’s drive, engine torque and tractive effort—you can push your machine to the limit without an engine anti-stall system robbing you of power when you need it the most.
Faster Cycle Times:
- Hydraulic pumps in Bobcat loaders are matched to cylinder size and loader lift capacity to provide fast cycle times that help you get the job done faster.
Hydraulic Bucket Positioning:
- Optional hydraulic bucket positing keeps your bucket level when raising lift arms, reducing spillage and allowing you to work more efficiently.
More Torque:
- Bobcat loaders reach maximum torque at a lower RPM to minimize stalling and save time and fuel.
Powerful Breakout Forces:
- High-efficiency hydraulic pumps deliver more power, matched to demand and providing breakout forces.
Quick Couplers with Pressure Release:
- By simply pushing the coupler inward, the hydraulic oil is released through a return line back into the machine. The result is clean, quick attachment changes time after time.
Quicker Turning:
- Bobcat’s weight distribution has been designed for the best turning and skidding to deliver ideal performance, with 70% of distribution in the rear and 30% in the front. This quick turning reduces fuel consumption and power requirements from the engine, increasing the life of drive train and tires.
Remote Control:
- All loaders equipped with Selectable Joystick Control or All Wheel Steer can be operated by the Radio Remote Control. Bobcat Company is the first and only company to introduce a new way to operate your equipment without having to have an operator in the cab. This is a smart solution for hot, dusty environments or on jobs where you’d rather be outside of the machine.
Ride Control Option:
- Optional ride control is the cushioning of the loader lift circuit, which helps increase the smoothness of the ride.
Stronger Hydraulics:
- The Bobcat engine, hydraulic pump, horsepower and cubic-inch displacement are configured precisely for each model’s specific operating capacity.
Transverse Engine/ Belt Drive:
- Thanks to the Bobcat belt-drive system, loader engines can be run slower, resulting in a quieter machine that lasts longer. This drive belt system allows Bobcat loaders to use an optimized engine-to-pump package, making it more efficient.
