Bobcat S86 Skid-Steer Loader
Only the S86 offers three hydraulic flow options – standard, high and super flow – in one skid-steer loader, setting a new industry standard in performance and attachment versatility.
The S86 features an optimized weight-to-horsepower ratio that ranks this vertical-lift machine among the industry’s most powerful, maneuverable, efficient and productive in its size class.
Premium Power Performance, the skid-steer’s power management system, further sets this machine apart. Designed to boost productivity, the system improves engine-to workgroup efficiency, distributing more power where and when it’s needed during multi-tasking operations. Smoother, faster control, with maximum power where and when you need it most – means more work done per day.
The S86 is in a class all by itself. It’s the most powerful skid-steer we’ve ever built, delivering more usable engine and hydraulic power than ever before. With power and comfort like you’ve never experienced before, the feature-rich S86 will take your productivity to another level.

Bobcat S86 Skid-Steer Loader Features
Powerful Hydraulics
Bobcat loaders are in a class by themselves. Each component – including the engine, pumps and hydraulic system – is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance so you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.
Increased Lifting Capabilities
R-Series loaders deliver increased lifting capabilities. The cast-steel lift arm sections are stronger to ensure optimal performance so you can handle more challenging jobs with greater confidence and ease.
Bobcat Engine
R-Series loaders feature a Bobcat engine that delivers the performance you need while reducing and simplifying routine maintenance. With the innovative new fuel system, low fuel levels are more forgiving for busy operators.
Effective Weight Balance
Bobcat skid-steer loaders offer effective turning and skidding, reduced fuel consumption and power requirements, increased drive train and tire life, and less wear and tear compared to "flat-footed" machines sold by other manufacturers.
Cooling System
The redesigned cooling system on R-Series loaders delivers optimal operation and maximum uptime. The system includes an optional reversible fan, heavy-duty steel louvered tailgate, larger hydraulic hoses and tubelines, increased fan size and high capacity radiator.
Premium Cab
Bobcat loaders offer a variety of comfort features including roomy cabs, heated air-ride seats, optional automatic heat and air conditioning, ergonomic controls, innovative instrumentation and more to keep you productive.
Touch Display
The most advanced in-cab display, optional on R-Series loaders, delivers detailed machine information to make operation efficient and productive. An integrated radio offers Bluetooth™ connectivity. It includes a durable, waterproof touchscreen.
Bob-Tach Attachment System
Change attachments quickly using the standard Bob-Tach® mounting system included with every loader. R-Series models include a stronger connection point and less debris buildup. Or upgrade to the optional Power Bob-Tach system for swapping non-hydraulic attachments without leaving your seat.
Selectable Joystick Control
No other joystick in the industry comes close to delivering the level of customization and control you'll find with SJC. It gives you all the capabilities of standard controls, along with additional functions that propel your productivity with better control of your loader and attachments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Skid-steer loaders, often called skid-steers, are ideal machines for construction, landscaping and agriculture. These compact, versatile pieces of equipment are identical to compact track loaders from the undercarriage up, with wheels instead of tracks.
A large selection of attachments for skid-steer loaders make them do-it-all machines. Skid-steer loaders are best known for lifting and carrying material with buckets, but popular attachments like augers and angle brooms offer more options. With attachments, skid-steer loaders can take on digging, grading, lifting and more.
Skid-steer loaders are available in a range of small, medium and large frame sizes, rated operating capacities and engine sizes. Typically, operators can choose between models with standard hand and foot controls or more advanced joystick controls.
Start your search for the right skid-steer loader by looking at the size of your workload. Once you know how much or how high you want to lift, you can start to match machine capabilities to your job requirements.
- Higher horsepower can help you be more productive
- Higher hydraulic flow will help performance of attachments like hydraulic breakers, augers or rotary cutters
- Larger machines will require stronger trailers and higher-capacity vehicles for towing
Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders look a lot alike from the undercarriage up. The most obvious difference is that skid-steer loaders have wheels and compact track loaders have tracks. Each undercarriage style offers unique benefits.
Skid-Steer Loaders
A skid-steer loader offers extremely tight turning or “skidding.” During a turn, wheels on one side can move forward while wheels on the other side can move backward. This enables you to pivot the machine 360 degrees.
- Easily maneuvers in close quarters
- The weight distribution of a Bobcat skid-steer loader is balanced for easy turning and skidding
Compact Track Loaders
Compact track loaders are typically heavier than skid-steer loaders. Because the tracks are long and wide – the footprint they leave is comparable to that of a human being. This reduces ground disturbance and increases flotation – or the ability to drive over soft ground conditions.
- The extra ground-to-surface contact of tracks – and the additional machine weight – enhances digging and pushing power
- Enables operators who work in established residential areas to avoid causing turf damage
- Tracks can more easily work in wet, muddy conditions, enabling you to get on the jobsite sooner after a rain
- Low ground pressure helps you produce a smooth and finished grade
