We have a T770 at my work. Very nice machine. Attachments we have are the bucket, broom, asphalt milling head and a forestry cutter. It amazes me how well it runs the forestry cutter. We use it in combination with a Kobelco SK85 excavator with a Fecon forestry head. I run the Kobelco and bring down the big stuff and the guy in the Bobcat grinds up the top part of the tree I bring down, while I grind the rest that’s left standing down to the dirt.
Sounds great!
If I could make my own machine..it would be a bobcat frame and hydraulics. Kubota engine. New Holland lift capabilities. Kubota front door. Cat interior.
I’d buy that machine
That would be cool!
CAT has the smallest interior. I do like their lap bar but this bobcat by far has the most up to date technology. JCB is definitely worth looking into but I'm probably going to order a fully loaded T66....90k
Just found you from Randys channel.. Nice content. I won't hold knowing Randy against you.... I will stay unbiased
Thanks for stopping by! I subscribed back
Thank you for the update. It took me a while but I’ve settled on this machine and I should receive it before the end of the month. I’ve seen the comments on this being a 595 replacement, however I agree that this is the most suitable 650 replacement/comparison given the fleet realignment. The T76 is in quite a different size/weight class, and appeared to be simply too much for trailering and remaining non-CDL (depending on setup). My only concern with this one is the high flow output. I’m in need of as much as I can get running a snowblower.
Growing pains looking to purchase Bobcat #cleaning the tracksTHERE HIGH TRACK SUCKS LOL LOVE THE MACHINE other than couple MAJOR FLAWS RENTING T740 ,2019FOR month and a half it's been fairly wet here in berea ,Kentucky clay well spent over hr ,3 men on top of a mountain , 5 minutes tracks full again also someone said.mud didn't pull machine down, sorry chokes it down every time tracks were smoking a little imagine strain on drive Motors door handle. Must be tightened daily if you buy one dropping 60 to 70,000. LOVE ASV 75 PRICE UNDER 60 GOING WITH TRIED AND TRUE CAT 259 D OPERATED DOZERS FOR YEARS JUST A NAME YEAH PRETTY DAMN GOOD ONE BUT HAVE PARTNER OR WOULD BUY ASV
You will be fine running snowblower, highflow is more than capable. They use s570 s high flow on sidewalks in my area
Thank you. My T66 does an excellent job running the SB240, even with heavy wet cement and ice. A record season, I’ve been having to take down snow mounds 10 feet high. A bit surprised that it handles it this well. I couldn’t be happier with the setup!
@@tommyedees6346 caterpillar owns 60% of ASV
I may be mistaken, but i'm pretty sure that the airflow is actually IN the back door, and OUT the top now
Just did some more review myself and I believe you are correct. I just don’t know why debris sticks to the top screen above the radiator then it’s air flow is out and it has a auto reversing feature that blows debris off it
I have a t66 and the top fan blows in , on larger bobcats with high flow there's a reverse fan to clean out the system, thats what I was told when purchasing the t66
Great video I have a t66 & s76 on order with clear view sides
Nice we are looking at a T76 now
Windows dont rattle on m2 series, they installed a rubber bumper
There was a rubber bumper on the g series but like all things they wear out
Thank you for the well done video. I have a T770 with 900 hours and no problems. I am close to purchasing the S76 as a second machine. Just thought the wheel model would lessen the use of the track machine. It is for farm use and is used in all types of conditions and thought it would be easer on gravel roads. Just thought a wheel unit would offer diversification. Do you think I would regret the wheel unit? Thanks and a quick reply would be greatly appreciated. Regards, RS
I would agree with diversification across the fleet, but I would rather have a compact wheel loader with a skid steer coupler before a wheeled skid steer. They are so bumpy and the tires tear up even a stone parking lot. We only have tracked skid steers and that’s all we will have, using on dirt, blacktop, mud, stone and more. Compact wheel loaders offer a better ride and still can do the job.
At the same time wheel skids have a much better price point and less maintenance because there is not undercarriage. Every wheeled machine I have run was jumping especially when turning.
@@BeauEnterprisesInc Great comment and you swayed me away from the wheel model. Just have to figure how to explain my decision to the BobCat rep. Best. RS

I've owned wheeled bobcat machines for the past 20 years and now Im looking for track machine probably t76
Much smoother
But I agree small loader be way better decision IMO 😊
Do you notice a lot of dirt piling under cab?
Yes very much
New to skid loaders, but on t66 of t76
why wouldn't they have hydraulic temps, levels, on their cab screen? Tech has to be up to date.
Depending on what’s screen you have it has it. The basic screen probably only has fuel and water temp because those are the most important. Hydro temp is only important if you are running a hydro attachment for a long period of time
Agreed, music is awful, rather listen to machine work and or a little narrative. Overall pretty good 👍
Fair enough!
really wanted to hear the machine struggle
Is it because it didn’t struggle or because the camera sound quality?
@@BeauEnterprisesInc the music. started to watch the video, i was listening to the engine work, so one could tell what kind of pushing power it had and lift, all we have is the engine noise to see how the machines struggles. Great video, music messed up the engine noise.
Air is sucked through back door , out the top
Yes, I’ve been corrected before after this video. What still doesn’t make sense to me is if air comes out the top why is there a auto reversing van? Doesn’t make sense
Air comes in the top, larger machines has a reverse fan mode
Do you have an email address or number I can call. I just bought a t66 and can’t seem to get answers from dealer on how some things work. Thank you
What are you looking for help with
When I test drove it originally you had to put a code in to start it. When I bought it they gave me a code to be able to program my own code, which I did, but in the monitor it will not let me highlight machine lockout or the QuickStart (which is on). Since it’s keyless I’d like to have a code input before starting. I have a video of this. My dealer which is 2 hours away seemed to not have an answer.
@@mc1r758 are you set up as the owner? The only way to change any of that is to be set up as the owner. I’d check that next. It sounds like you want to change the lockout and changed the lockout time? Is that right ?
@@BeauEnterprisesInc I’m the owner. It was delivered two weeks ago. I would like to be able to make it necessary to put in a code before it’s able to start, such as when I tested the machine out. I sent the sales guy about a two minute video of me going through putting my code in and how I couldn’t get the machine lockout nor the QuickStart tab to highlight. My owners manual is no help either. I live in rural Arkansas and no one to ask around here. I should’ve asked all this in the front end when they are more eager to accommodate you with info. Thanks for any help. I’d like to send the video I took to explain better.
Email me your video spencer_lilly@aol.com
The music is horrible. We'd rather hear the machine run.
Thanks !
@@BeauEnterprisesInc not tat bad
