Windows on the sides and rear of the cab have also been increased in size to provide more visibility to the tires and to the rear. The cab door threshold has been lowered and the overall surface of the door has increased more than 40 percent to provide improved visibility and make it easier for operators to enter and exit the cab. Superior visibility is provided to the cutting edge of the bucket or the corners of an attachment because the cab door is the largest available on the market. The S850 and T870, like other M-Series loader models, feature a unique cab-forward design that not only makes the loaders look different, but also moves the operator closer to the attachment and provides unmatched visibility in all directions. The new design also makes it easier to clean out the cooling system, with an oil cooler that swings up, allowing the operator to clean the area between the oil cooler and the radiator. That is why Bobcat redesigned the cooling system on the M-Series for increased efficiency and higher performance. Keeping the loaders cool when working long hours is important in prolonging the service life of the machine. A guard bar extends in front of the coupler for added security. The hydraulic quick couplers are mounted directly to the front plate of the lift arm to provide a solid mounting and quick coupler hoses completely run through the loader arms for better protection. Simple checks and superior design make it easier to perform maintenance correctly at the proper intervals. The loaders are designed to work long hours on demanding jobsites, and operators want to spend minimal time on routine maintenance to start the workday earlier. Easy-to-read virtual sweep gauges allow the operator to quickly read and understand the machine’s performance. The new five-inch, full-color LCD screen offers better readability and interaction. Available only on M-Series machines, the panel intelligently monitors key loader functions, and the keyless start helps prevent theft. New job-enhancing features were added to the optional Deluxe Instrumentation Panel. On the T870 the standard auxiliary hydraulic flow is 23.8 gallons per minute, with an optional high flow of 37.4 gallons per minute. The standard auxiliary hydraulic flow on the S850 is 23 gallons per minute at 3,500 pounds per square inch and an optional high flow feature reaches 37 gallons per minute for maximum attachment performance. M-Series loaders have been engineered for higher standard flow and pressure that give attachments more power to work more quickly. The S850 and T870 will have the same increased hydraulic performance as the other M-Series loader models, enabling them to efficiently accomplish more work. The highest lift height will be appreciated by those who load over tandem axle trucks with side boards added, hay wagons, and mortar mixers, as well as those stacking brick, blocks or other palletized material. In addition, the loaders are the highest lifting loaders in the industry with 144 inches lift height. The 12,678-pound T870 has a ROC of 3,325 pounds, or 7 percent more than the current largest compact track loader, the T320. The 10,008-pound S850 has a rated operating capacity (ROC) of 3,875 pounds - 17 percent more than the current largest skid loader, the S330. Job-enhancing features were also added to the optional Deluxe Instrumentation Panel featured in these machines. In addition, the loaders will enable the operator to accomplish more work through performance and durability enhancements that provide more power and keep the loader working longer, while increasing operator comfort with a new cab forward design with improved visibility and a more spacious and comfortable cab. The machines provide operators with more powerful hydraulics, increased fuel capacity, higher lift capacities and reach, increased pushing power and higher horsepower than any of Bobcat’s current loader models. The larger new loaders are packed with power and performance along with industry-leading lifting heights. Bobcat hsa introduced the largest compact track loader the company has ever manufactured - the T870 - along with what will be the largest skid loader in its lineup, the S850.
