New Bobcat S740 skid-steer loader available
without aftertreatment technologies
(WEST FARGO, N.D. — June 2015) Bobcat Company has released its first Tier 4-compliant
700 frame-size loader. The S740 is powered by an engine that is under 75 horsepower and
doesn’t require a diesel particulate filter (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or
diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).
The new Bobcat® S740 skid-steer loader boasts the highest rated operating capacity in the
under 75-horsepower skid-steer loader class, and provides customers with a large, powerful
machine for working in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and buildings and grounds as
well as other market segments.
Achieving a non-DPF solution
Bobcat S740 skid-steer 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 substances like water and
carbon dioxide.
The Tier 4-compliant Bobcat non-DPF solution was achieved by designing an ultra-low
particulate combustion (ULPC) engine. The ULPC is accomplished through a specially
designed engine combustion chamber that significantly reduces the amounts of particulate
matter created during combustion. Therefore, Tier 4 emissions compliance can be achieved
without using a DPF.
The S740 joins the M-Series line, which includes 11 skid-steer models. All Bobcat M-Series
loaders share features such as improved power and performance, better visibility and superior
operator comfort.
Unmatched performance
The new S740 is designed to work long hours on demanding jobsites. As a vertical-lift-path
machine, the S740 loader can lift loads higher, making it easier to clear high-sided truck boxes
and hoppers.
The hydraulic systems on M-Series loaders also have higher standard flow and pressure,
providing for increased attachment performance. An optional high-flow hydraulic option of 30.5
gpm gives S740 operators more attachment power, boosting machine productivity.
Industry-leading visibility to work areas
Like all M-Series skid-steer loaders, the S740 features a unique cab-forward design that moves
the operator closer to the attachment and provides unmatched visibility in all directions. The new
loader has the largest cab door opening on the market, offering superior visibility to attachments
and particularly to the cutting edge and corners of a bucket.
Windows on the sides and rear of the cab are larger in size to provide more visibility to the tires
and back of the machine. The larger top window makes it easier and more comfortable for the
operator when performing tasks like loading trucks or tall hoppers.
Best-in-class cab
Comfortable operators are more productive, so to create a better working environment, the S740
features a large comfortable cab. The loader has a best-in-class pressurized cab with 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 might enter the cab, creating more enjoyable working conditions
and making it easier to clean the cab.
Operators also have the choice between standard foot pedal hydraulic controls, the Advanced
Control System (ACS) or the Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC).
Maintenance made easy
Simple check points and superior design elements make it easier to perform maintenance at the
proper intervals. The 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.
Keeping the loader cool when working long hours also helps prolong service life of the machine.
The redesigned cooling system on the M-Series S740 allows for increased efficiency, is easy-toclean and increases machine performance.
