I have a Bobcat 742b skid loader. It’s the gas model (not diesel). I would like to know what weight oil to use. Thank you

Both Caterpillar and Bobcat have carved a niche for themselves in manufacturing heavy duty machinery especially targeted towards the landscaping and heavy mining industries. Their machinery is used for a vast range of applications and uses and both brands are known for their longevity, durability and efficiency.

Caterpillar range of products

Caterpillar manufactures a whole range of products ranging from heavy duty hydraulic excavators to even loaders. These products are designed to ensure superior performance and long shelf life. Some of the predominant industries that use such heavy duty Caterpillar equipment include the quarry sector, construction that requires heavy duty activity as well as the mining industry.

Service and parts from Caterpillar

Caterpillar has many distributors who provide ready service of all equipment purchased from them. Irrespective of the place where the original equipment may have been purchased from, these distributors repair and service all parts of such equipment. In addition, these distributors also stock a steady inventory of parts belonging to Caterpillar brand. Several departments, each with specialized parts assigned to them can readily help in replacing damaged parts of existing machinery.

Bobcat brand’s products

Bobcat is another pioneer in creating cutting-edge and highly sophisticated skid steer loading equipment. While the original parts of Bobcat skid steers are always in demand by the landscaping and construction industries, the used parts are also in demand for their cost-effectiveness. There are many premier distributors who stock such used parts from Bobcat. Right from regular farm work to loading trucks these skid steers can perform the job with ease. Besides, for people who cannot afford original unused Bobcat equipment, these used parts are a good bargain. The distributors of such used parts ensure to regularly check for electrical, mechanical as well as hydraulic inefficiencies so that all used parts are well worth their value.

How to select a distributor of used parts

If you wish to purchase used skid steers from Bobcat then you need to approach the right distributor for this. Always select a distributor that has a well-stocked inventory. Compare prices to see that you are getting a good deal. In addition, the sales staff and personnel should be courteous and know about used parts and Bobcat brand. In addition, the distributor should also be ready to help you with parts in case they are not in stock. They should also have tie-ups with other brands so that you have more options to choose from.

What Is A Skid Steer Loader?

A Skid Steer loader or ‘Bobcat’ is a small, compact construction machine. Their small size and manoeuvrability, as well as the large number of add-on attachments that can be fixed to them make them extremely popular for a wide range of tasks such as construction and landscaping. As well as being very agile and compact, they can easily accommodate a wide range of different attachments which makes them ideal for many different industries, including construction, landscaping, manufacturing and demolition. Bobcats normally come with 4 wheels, but they can be fitted with tracks – just like a small tank – to operate in muddy conditions. Skid steer loaders are normally equipped with four wheels built close together, but they can also be fitted with tracks for work in muddy or slippery conditions. Usually the engine is located behind the cab, and there are two arms that run from the back to the front and latch on to the tools.

Why The Funny Name ?

The actual “skid steer” term is used because of how the vehicle drives. Instead of having a steering mechanism like an automobile, a skid steer loader turns by moving the wheels on one side while stopping the wheels on the opposite side. This causes the skid steer to “skid” on the wheels that are stopped, thus turning the vehicle towards the wheels that have stopped. This makes skid steers not only more robust with fewer parts to go wrong, but enables them to have a very small turning circle.

Ok, so what should I look for when I buy one of these.

Choose the right size machine

You should consider three fundamental factors when choosing your Bobcat Skidsteer.

1. Overall size. Will it fit in your garage, down your driveway, through your gate? Most skid steers are between 3′ and 6′ wide, and between 5′ and 7′ tall. Taking into consideration the physical work area can make it easier to make your choice.

2. Dumping Height. Do you know how high you will need your skid steer to lift things. It is important to realize whether you need to dump over a 9′ truck or a 4′ fence. This is usually called the “height to hinge pin” measurement, or the distance from the ground to the point where the loader arms pivot the bucket. This usually ranges between 8′ and 10′.

3. Lifting Capacity How much do you need to lift? Will you be lifting heavy loads? Many manufacturers also refer to this as the operating capacity. This is alos commonly known as the operating capacity. The most popular size, is the 1,700 lb – 2,200 lb range. Although some skid steer loaders can lift over 3,000 lbs, if you need to lift loads this big you really would be better to consider a full-size front end loader instead.

What About Tires

Skid steers come with three main choices of tire. The tire choices are air filled rubber tires – just like your car, foam filled tires, and solid rubber tires.You would normally fit one of three types of tire to these loaders – hollow air-filled rubber tires, rubber tires filled with pneumatic foam and solid rubber tires.. Remember they are also available with tracks.

1. Air-Filled Tires – the cheapest and probably the best solution for most people. these are the least expensive and are the best for smooth rides on rocky or uneven surfaces, of course, being air filled they can get punctures at just the wrong time!

2.Foam-Filled Pneumatic Tires – if you are worried about punctures, on sharp gravel for example then these are a good option, albeit a more expensive one. Also because foam-filled tires are much heavier than normal air-filled tires they can lead to breakdowns from the extra strain placed on the skid steer’s transmission.

3.Solid Rubber Tires – these are thinner and longer lasting than foam or air filled tires but not nearly as comfortable.

Most of the time you should choose air filled tires as they are the most economical and certainly the most comfortable. You should remember, though, that you can easily change your tires to suit the surface if required to do so and many spare sets are often available from specialist dealers or websites at very reasonable prices

Can I Have Tracks ?

Certainly, tracks are an option. There are several benefits when working with tracked skid steers; you get much better traction in mud and on loose ground and there is generally less damage done to the ground than with a wheeled skid steer loader.

Tracked skid steer loaders tend to be bigger than wheeled ones, and therefore more expensive. As with tires, though you can buy conversion kits that enable you to attach tracks to a wheeled loader thus gaining the advantages of both.

Other Stuff

Once you have determined the size and capacity requirements for your skid steer, you will need to try out the available models and consider the following factors:

Cab Comfort Since you will probably be spending many hours in the cab it should be comfortable. Comfort is important because in many instances you will be inside a cab for hours. Make sure the seat can be easily adjusted and is well padded and that the main controls are all within easy reach.

All-round visibility Safety should always by uppermost in your considerations when buying a skid steer. In any work environment it is important to be safe. Good visibility from inside the cab, can both speed up work and reduce errors and accidents.

Ruggedness Lets face it skid steers are built to be tough but like any mechanical device they work better when well maintained. Check how easy you can access the parts such as the hydraulic pumps and engine.
