Bobcat T770 Review: Vertical Lift for Loading, Landscaping and Material Handling
Load the truck. Move the materials. Prepare the next work area. The Bobcat T770 brings vertical lift and a broad attachment platform into the same compact track loader—an appealing combination when your workday involves more than one kind of task.
About this review: This research-based guide draws on Bobcat documentation and supplier information. We have not operated or inspected the advertised machine. Model information is presented first; a separately dated seller-offer section below contains the unit-specific details.
What is the Bobcat T770 designed to do?
The T770 is a vertical-lift compact track loader. Bobcat identifies loading trucks, grinders and hoppers among its applications. The lift path provides reach at full lift height, making the model relevant when your work regularly involves placing material into an elevated receiving point.
Start with the task that occupies most of your day. A contractor loading bulk material needs to think about the receiving height, material density and cycle layout. A landscaping team may place greater emphasis on changing between compatible attachments. The most useful assessment connects the loader to that actual workflow.

T770 specifications: a clearly identified model reference
The reference figures below come from Bobcat India’s T770 catalogue, dated December 2018, which documents a Kubota-powered version. T770 specifications vary by market, production period and configuration. Match the serial-number-specific documentation to any machine you are considering.
| Reference engine | Kubota V3800, 4-cylinder turbo diesel |
|---|---|
| Maximum power (SAE J1995) | 68.6 kW at 2,400 rpm |
| Rated operating capacity (ISO 14397-1) | 1,611 kg |
| Operating weight | 4,683 kg |
| Auxiliary pump capacity | 87.1 L/min; 138 L/min with high-flow option |
| Standard rubber-track width | 450 mm |

Put vertical lift to work in your loading plan
A useful loading plan considers the full movement: approach, lift, placement and return. Check the receiving height and clearance at the truck or hopper, the attachment dimensions and the intended material. Those details turn a headline lift figure into a meaningful conversation with a dealer or supplier.
Use the applicable rated operating capacity for the machine and attachment configuration when planning the load. The catalogue lists tipping load separately; the two figures serve different purposes. For pallet work, request the applicable fork capacity and load-centre information rather than treating a general loader rating as a universal pallet limit.
One platform, several practical applications
Bobcat’s catalogue lists buckets, pallet forks, augers, soil conditioners, sweepers and many other attachment types for the T770 platform. The following examples help frame an enquiry; confirm the exact attachment’s approval, hydraulic requirements and machine compatibility.
| Your task | Attachment to discuss | Useful information to provide |
|---|---|---|
| Loading loose material | Suitable bucket | Material type, density, receiving height and loading layout |
| Moving palletised materials | Compatible pallet forks | Load dimensions, weight, load centre and placement height |
| Preparing landscape areas | Soil conditioner or tiller | Ground conditions, finish required and available working space |
| Post-hole work or surface cleanup | Auger or sweeper, as appropriate | Required tool specification and the machine’s fitted auxiliary system |
Think beyond the first attachment. Make a short list of your regular tasks, then ask which tools can share the same machine configuration. Include any attachment you already own so the supplier can assess the connection and operating requirements.
Hydraulics and controls: specify the equipment you need
The reference catalogue lists standard auxiliary pump capacity and a high-flow option. Choose the hydraulic specification around the attachment you intend to run. Ask for the fitted flow configuration, couplers and electrical controls to be identified in the quotation.
The same catalogue distinguishes standard hand-lever/foot-pedal arrangements from optional Advanced Control System or Selectable Joystick Controls. During a demonstration, spend time with the controls fitted to the selected machine. Confirm the functions your operators will use, then arrange familiarisation using the applicable manual.
Operator protection and routine readiness
Bobcat’s reference specification lists the Bobcat Interlock Control System (BICS), seat bar, seat belt, parking brake and lift-arm support. It also identifies the operator cab’s ROPS/FOPS standards. Confirm the protective equipment and documentation for the actual unit.
Include a demonstration of the relevant controls and safety systems in your inspection brief. Use the operator manual for the machine’s serial number and follow its inspection, operation and maintenance requirements. Plan the work area and pedestrian separation alongside the machine selection.
