New Bobcat T740 compact track loader
features non-DPF diesel engine
(WEST FARGO, N.D. — October 2015) Bobcat Company has introduced its Tier 4compliant 700 frame-size compact track loader. The Bobcat® T740 is powered by a diesel
engine that is under 75 horsepower and does not require a diesel particulate filter (DPF),
selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
The T740 is a large, powerful machine that works well in construction, landscaping,
agriculture, buildings and grounds, and other market segments. This machine joins the
M-Series compact loader line and share features such as improved power and
performance, better visibility and superior operator comfort.
Unmatched performance
The new T740 is designed to work long hours on demanding jobsites. The vertical-liftpath loaders are designed to lift loads higher so it’s easier to clear high-sided truck
boxes and hoppers.
The hydraulic systems on M-Series loaders also have higher standard flow and
pressure, for increased attachment performance. An optional 30.5-gpm high-flow
hydraulic option gives T740 operators more attachment power, boosting machine
productivity. More than 60 genuine Bobcat attachments are approved for use with the
T740.
No DPF needed
Bobcat T740 compact track loaders use a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to meet Tier 4
emission standards, but without the need for a DPF. The DOC is a special catalyst that
reacts with engine exhaust upon contact and transforms combustion byproducts into
water and carbon dioxide.
The Tier 4-compliant Bobcat non-DPF solution features an ultra-low particulate
combustion (ULPC) engine with a specifically designed engine combustion chamber that
significantly reduces the amounts of particulate matter created during combustion —
making Tier 4 compliance possible without using a DPF.
Improved visibility
Like all M-Series compact track loaders, the T740 features a unique cab-forward design
that moves operators closer to the attachment and the work area, plus provides
unmatched visibility in all directions. The new loader has the largest cab door opening
on the market, improving visibility to attachments, particularly to the cutting edge and
corners of the bucket.
Large side and rear windows on the cab provide more visibility to the tires or tracks, as
well as the back of the machine. The large top window makes it easier and more
comfortable for the operator when performing tasks like loading trucks or tall hoppers.
Best-in-class cab
The best-in-class pressurized cab includes a one-piece seal that goes all the way around
the door and fits into a special curved pocket. This minimizes the amount of dirt and
dust that enters the cab, creating better working conditions plus it makes it easier to
keep the cab clean.
Standard controls with power assist are the base control configuration for the T740.
Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) are available as an option.
Maintenance made easy
Simple check points and superior loader design elements make it easier to perform
maintenance at the proper intervals. Auxiliary quick couplers are mounted directly to
the front plate of the lift arm to provide a solid mounting, and hoses are routed through
the loader arms for better protection. A guard bar extends in the front of the coupler for
added protection and to minimize downtime.
The cooling system on the M-Series T740 allows for increased efficiency, is easy-toclean, increases machine performance and helps prolong the service life of the machine.
