Bobcat introduces new backhoe loader

The loader makes faster work of jobsite tasks such as excavation, site preparation, material handling, trenching, snow removal and more.

Bobcat Company, a global equipment, innovation and worksite solutions brand, has expanded its North American product lineup with the introduction of the B760 backhoe loader. Designed with Bobcat performance and versatility, the B760 offers the most digging depth in its size class.

With a wide range of jobsite solutions built into one machine, the backhoe loader features a lift capacity of more than 2,200 pounds at full reach; digging depth of 18 feet, 5 inches; and nearly 180 degrees of backhoe swing for less repositioning and fast cycle times.

The backhoe loader comes with a standard-equipped extendable arm that provides up to 8 inches of additional dig depth compared to other machines of the same size. The B760’s performance and versatility extend throughout the machine, with the front-end loader providing a lift capacity of 7,985 pounds with its standard, general purpose bucket.

“The new B760 helps operators accomplish more on the job site with its dig, load and carry versatility,” says Jamison Wood, Bobcat product development specialist. “The backhoe loader is designed for durability, easy operation, simple maintenance and incredible performance. Its size keeps it accessible on sites with limited space, while its impressive travel speeds keep operators productive across large job sites.”

Powered by a turbocharged 3.4-liter Bobcat engine, the B760 delivers high-torque performance and efficiency. It achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF).

With powerful backhoe and loader breakout forces, operators can dig in and conquer some of the most challenging jobsite tasks such as excavation, site preparation, material handling, trenching, snow removal and more. The power shift transmission provides quick direction changes while the backhoe loader’s swift travel speeds allow operators to minimize the need for a trailer.

With controls that are easy to use, new operators can reach maximum productivity in less time. The easy-to-read, 5-inch, color display panel provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities for efficient and productive operation. The operator station and optional cab are designed for all-day comfort, with controls designed for easy use and minimal operator fatigue.

Additional standard features that enhance operator productivity include:

  1. Ride control for reduced bucket spillage and enhanced operator comfort.
  2. Automatic return-to-dig positioning to maximize cycle time efficiency.
  3. Eight work lights for long days of loader and backhoe operations.
  4. A 1.4-cubic-yard general purpose loader bucket for greater job site versatility.
  5. Pilot controls for smooth, fast and precise backhoe workgroup operations.
  6. Auxiliary hydraulics to power attachments from the front and rear.

The B760 backhoe loader will be available at Bobcat dealerships across North America in late 2024/early 2025. Visit bobcat.com/dealer to find a local dealer. The B760 will be on display at the American Public Works Association PWX Conference Sept. 8-11.
