Almost first look at a 2020 T66 Bobcat Track Loader- First machine sold in Buffalo NY Specs for T66 www.bobcat.com... Specs for T650 www.skidsteersp...
Will be doing a trial with one shortly after playing around with one at the dealer. They are sending me home with a T66 and T76 so i can decide which one i want to buy. I was super impressed with the smooth steering, riding and extremely quiet cab! I havent drove a Cat or Kubota yet, but their cabs are a turn off and reviews say they are loud inside as well. Most likely will order a T66 if it can move the dirt i want to be able to push.
It doesn't iine up with the 650 because it doesn't replace it. The T76 is the 650 replacement. T66 replaces the 590. Your blu tooth mic is in the ceiling
I suppose that could be debatable. As well as I never stated it was it’s replacement. I know bobcat says T76 is T650 replacement, but the numbers don’t seem to line up perfect. I believe they might say this is the “replacement” to show they improved lift capacity cause that’s the numbers people look at, but they also added nearly 1000lbs of extra weight and almost 10” of length to the machine. The physical size of the machine is more comparable to the T740 in term of weight and dimensions.
Sure both tests had windows close, not fan running, no radio on. These aren’t perfect but they are close T66 - engine off 26dB idle 69dB full throttle moving 73dB T650 engine off 26dB Idle 77dB full throttle moving 81dB
All looks great but they shouldn't have turned the engine around, unless it is completely sealed from under the cab ,early new hollands with the air blown out the back sucked huge amounts of dust in through side hose access points. So you end up with piles of corrosive wet dirt (after pressure cleaning ) in the hydraulic pump bay. I would love to know how you get on with that before I replace either my 595 or 650. Cheers great vid
Iain Hetherington from my understanding the fresh air comes in the top and out the back door. In previous models it would come in the top and then out the side and blown over the track which created a lot more dust. I think this decision should minimize the amount of dust blown around on site
what're your thoughts on this compared to the previous models? seems the 650 was built better considering the thickness of the rear door and not having a bunch of cast on the arms. plus the serviceability seemed super easy on the previous models too.
The louvered back door has much better air flow than the old doors. That means the engines and hydraulics will run a lot cooler. My T650 I could get hydro oil temp up to 215°F easy but the T66 in the same situation only will got up to 165°F. They say cast steel is 20x strong than fabricated steel and its also slimmer in the areas that you need to see thru like the loader arms and the rear links. Serviceability was definitely improved in my opinion at least if you come it to a cat or Kubota it’s still better. You really do have access to a lot
There’s a button on the left side. Push and hold it will kick on for a few seconds or push and leave it on and it will purge everyone once in a while. All machines have the switch but not all machines are equipped with it
Great video, seen it twice, any new thoughts July to Jan. my first track machine, on concrete and asphalt a lot, so I'm looking forward to spring. Thanks.
Hey buddy. Wanted to ask if you know the vertical reach difference between the t66 and the t650? As far as reaching up to load a tri-axle truck. Thanks man
I did some research online. I believe the spec you are looking for is called “reach @ maximum height”. T66 is 36.7” and t650 is 34.2”. T66 is 4” less lift height at the hinge pin
This machine was on the lot, and readily available. We did however just get one with 5 link. Check out my channel about 3 videos ago. It was on a T76 tho
I was going to buy a new t66 but their seats in my opinion are just awful.I can't stand a seat that hits me in the middle of my back and I'm only 5'10 I can't even imagine a taller person. I have decided to go with a cat not only because of the seat but other considerations also.
Cat cab is terrible, to tight , terrible visibility, heat and ac vents up by your legs only . Frozen legs, need to clean under cab often packs in the dirt , I will say cat has a great kubota engine with cat components.
That back door looks like a flimsy piece of junk The 1st tree someone backs into Doing any type of tree or land clearing work the door would be ruined . I liked the old solid steel doors on the S185 and s250

Nice!
Usually you have to use the bucket movement to connect the bobtatch system usually tilting the attachement.

Compared to t595 74 hp

@@BeauEnterprisesInc correct but lift height is within 1 inch. T595 and t66
T 66 replaces t595. T64 replaces t590
good to see the sproket change design, i hope that makes replacment cheeper
David Silvia I would like to think sprockets will be less expensive, but you also have to change gear oil now too.
@@BeauEnterprisesInc yea the final drive, every 500 hrs.
Great video and very informative. Mine will be in soon. Could you tell me the interior sound decibels? There’s an app for that.
Sure both tests had windows close, not fan running, no radio on. These aren’t perfect but they are close
T66 - engine off 26dB
idle 69dB
full throttle moving 73dB
T650 engine off 26dB
Idle 77dB
full throttle moving 81dB
Hopefully getting a demo set up soon for a T66. I’m excited to try one out
Big upgrade from the old model
Spencer Lilly To be honest I liked the M2 series but these are a total upgrade for sure

@10:46, Agreed that's a moronic place to put the hydraulic site glass. Rock from tread will break that glass and all your fluid will spill out.
can't even check it when it gets muddy
What the hell were they thinking??
When you start it how do you take off the lock for the bucket to work
green button now on the right side directly under the start/stop button
what're your thoughts on this compared to the previous models? seems the 650 was built better considering the thickness of the rear door and not having a bunch of cast on the arms. plus the serviceability seemed super easy on the previous models too.

لااله الا الله🌸
you skipped their new cast arms. are the track adjusters hydraulic?
I talked about the cast vs fabricated. Tracks are not auto hydraulic, they are grease tensioned
Yeah I'll keep my T650 with the kubota
No issues with either machine
How do you turn on the reverse fan on the t66 ?
There’s a button on the left side. Push and hold it will kick on for a few seconds or push and leave it on and it will purge everyone once in a while. All machines have the switch but not all machines are equipped with it

Check out channel, I have a 150 hr video up back in October
Does this machine has to have DEF? If so, where is it located?
No def on the machine. It’s 74hp

@@BeauEnterprisesInc got it. Thanks brother
The S66 has 2400 lb rated without the weights.
Why didnt you get the 5 Link. Currently dealing on one. Your video has really been helpfull.
This machine was on the lot, and readily available. We did however just get one with 5 link. Check out my channel about 3 videos ago. It was on a T76 tho
how much ?
Am I reading that right? 10,400 hrs on the 650?
Nope, probably said 1040 or 1400
Great video, thank you
Just found your channel. Good stuff. I have equipment videos on mine if you’re interested. I subbed bud
Subscribed back
Where's the hour meater
It’s on the touch screen
How much?
Mid 70s the way its equipped
nice lookin bobkitty!

Industrial seats , bolt on backrest is 69.00. I added to my bobcat t595 air ride heated cloth seat . Same grammar seat in t66.
Funny seat
That back door looks like a flimsy piece of junk The 1st tree someone backs into Doing any type of tree or land clearing work the door would be ruined . I liked the old solid steel doors on the S185 and s250
Damian Minick Have you looked at them in person
T66 compares to t595. T76 comparable to t650
