Hey everyone, I recently had the chance to use the Bobcat S70 for a work project. First off, its compact size, just 36 inches wide, was a lifesaver for maneuvering in tight spaces. However, climbing into the operator's seat? A bit cramped, especially for long hours. The lifting height of 6 feet 2 inches is decent, and its 23.5-horsepower engine handled light loads well. The backup alarm on the unit I used didn’t function, which was slightly concerning for safety. Overall, it managed, but I probably wouldn’t want to use it for prolonged tasks due to the less comfortable interior.

Used the E26 on a few projects, including tight spots where other machines just wouldn’t fit. Visibility's not bad from the seat but I wish the mirrors were a bit bigger and less fiddly. The machine fired up fine in cold weather, which surprised me. I like that it’s got decent lifting for its weight, didn't feel too tippy either, but the track can be a pain to clean out if you’re stuck in wet clay. Didn’t really mess with the quick coupler but the standard bucket swap is not too slow. Not the quietest out there but not a screamer either.

Maintenance is nothing unexpected, pretty manageable. Would use again but wouldn't call it amazing.

I've had the chance to operate the Bobcat S70 for some small municipal projects. Its compact size is excellent for moving through restricted areas. However, while the front-end attachments function well, it occasionally faced clogging issues during heavy loads. Maneuverability is straightforward, yet the cabin could use a bit more legroom for taller users. But, its reliability cannot be overstated; it consistently performs fine.

Used the Bobcat E26 for a short-term project, and it delivered as needed. Maneuverability was impressive; it managed tighter spaces efficiently. While it performed adequately for my requirements, its size felt somewhat limiting for larger workloads. Controls were straightforward, but I found the auxiliary activation button a bit inconvenient.

I recently rented the S550 for landscaping work. The controls feel intuitive, and the power output matches most needs excellently. However, I found the driver’s seat could use more cushioning for extended usage.

I operated the S130 on various terrains and during seasonal snow clearing. Its compact size proves beneficial for narrow pathways, but the limited lifting capacity holds it back for heavier tasks. Accessing the generator for repair is cumbersome due to tight component placement. Overall, a specialized machine for specific needs.

After several months of working with the Bobcat S185, I've got mixed thoughts. Operational controls are intuitive, making it relatively easy to pick up for operators of most skill levels. Price seems fair for what it offers, although some components might require addressing after many working hours. Still, reliability hasn’t disappointed, handling daily tasks efficiently.

Was operating the S70 and had mixed feelings about it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very reliable and sturdy compact tool. Though when handling a more extensive area, I felt it lacked a bit in speed compared to larger models, which is understandable. The design allows great access to constrained zones, but over longer periods, comfort could feel slightly compromised. Despite these minor points, its precision and build quality make a statement of reliability.
