Bobcat versus Case Compact Track Loaders - Skid Steer Drag Race & Comparision

In this video we compare the Bobcat T770 to the Case TV380. We drag race to show the speed difference, we show them running over a 4x4 to show the suspension, we show the ease of maintenance between the two machines and more!

Break out Power CASE 8,776 Break out BobCat 6,494 I'll take that over who wins in a race Just my opinion.

Bobcats are overrated, can't compete with the power of the case. Have both the case runs circles around the bobcat in real world work.

[@g4outdoors]

Nice quick comparison. I'm ready for circle tracking the machines, lol.

[@jimmybrown9595]

Lol he crosses the wood at a angle on the Case and strait on the Bobcat it would put the Case track in more of a bind. Bobcat runs a little faster Case is still best on inclines hands down.

I think it's genius how easy and open they made the access to the engine compartments...keeps the cost down on replacing those Doosan engines when they blow....

[@stevenandrews6627]

I've owned a number of C.T.L.s. My experience has shown to me that the Bobcat has significant shortcomings in it's longevity in a hard working environment. The A.S.V. has the best ride comfort in the industry and in a muddy environment, there's only 1 other brand that can hold its own against the ASV & that's the teleskid J.C.B. The telescopic boom on that machine can really come in handy to extricate yourself when you do get stuck. The ASV has never gotten stuck. It's wide tracks and weight distribution may have something to do with it. I'm using 3 brands currently: Case, JCB & ASV. After years of evaluation, these are the brands that have helped me turn a profit. Cat's too expensive, Bobcats a decent machine as long as it's not worked too hard. From my perspective, productivity, reliability & cost of ownership are my priorities. Dealer support is also a critical importance.

[@brysonbunch9011]

I have a case 1845c it has been the best machine ever it would do just as good as a bobcat ever will case is the best.

[@MerzFarmEquip]

We are glad you like your 1845C. But claiming that 1845C can do as much as a Bobcat T770 is like claiming your go cart can compete at Nascar events.

[@alfredfleming3289]

Phoney comparison. Tighten the 380 tracks. Never mentioned visibility or cab entry, huge difference.

[@dsarg82]

I never run the case out of hydraulic power unlike the bobcat. Also, bobcat you better have hearing protection when operating. Why they offer a radio I have no idea.

[@mjpopp]

Really seemed like a video that provided no beneficial information for a person like myself that is actually looking to buy either a T770 or TV380.

[@MerzFarmEquip]

What exactly are you looking for? The beneficial information is that the Bobcat is Faster, the Bobcat has Roller Suspension to make it ride Smoother and nicer, the Bobcat has the hydraulic lines in the arm for Protection, the Bobcat is Easier to Service with filters that are easy to reach and get to, there are multiple examples of what the video shows for beneficial information. You can compare horsepower, lift capacity and tipping point with literature. This video is to show the benefits that are not showing in the specs.

[@isaiahbartnenslager3480]

Honestly Case runs a lot better then Bobcat though

[@MerzFarmEquip]

You are entitled to your opinion. How many hours do you have operating the Case? How many hows in the Bobcat?;

[@MerzFarmEquip]

That's a fair opinion. We have had lots of customers who have spent hundreds and thousands of hours in machines and they prefer the Bobcat. Everyone has a preference but we believe if you spend more time in each you would see how much nicer the Bobcat is. The Roller Suspension alone after an 8 hour day is worth every penny. Case not offering that option is a huge advantage to Bobcat. Plus several other options.

[@ecsciguy79]

Hahahaha! I’ll take my case tv380 over a bobcat any day of the week. I’ve got a lot of experience with bobcat and it doesn’t hold a candle to my case.

[@MerzFarmEquip]

That's fine and you are absolutely entitled to that. But we just wanted to show the roller suspension, the ease of service, the operator friendly controls that Bobcat has real advantages over Case.

[@JRBUISEXCAVATING]

Merz Farm Equipment your demonstration of the roller suspension was flawed. The operator in the case approached the 4x4 at an angle and continued on that path, while the operator in the bobcat approached it squarely. The operator in the case also got all jerky while traveling over the timber. I believe that you did this on purpose and anyone with any experience in this business will see what you did there. I find it disturbing that you would try to deceive consumers like that.

[@MerzFarmEquip]

@@JRBUISEXCAVATING Any operator doesnt need to watch this video to understand what advantage roller suspension will do. Thanks for watching!

[@blairwise3339]

How about price? The case is probably about half the price of the Bobcat. Is that a big advantage for Bobcat?

[@elverbaltodano103]

Con todo respeto mi opinión,esto depende mucho del operador, llevo muchos años de serlo y cada día debo y quiero aprender más y mejorar ,solo he operado marca case pero creo que las demás deben de ser muy buenas también

Kind of a poor example, running as fast as that bobcat was running you will replace undercarriage sooner! I never have any service problems with my case very easy to do! Case all the way!

[@boward6686]

LongShot I have forgotten more about running skid steer‘s than you will ever know dumb ass been running and buying several different brands for the past 40 years probably before you were born I have seen them all come and go so before you open your dumb ass mouth you better know what the fuck you’re talking about!!

[@boward6686]

LongShot Your reply speaks volumes!! There’s a hell of a lot more to it than just four controls!! A true operator would know what I’m talking about!!

[@kujob6442]

Bo Ward Longshot is completely right, just stop arguing about something that’s not arguable, hands down Bobcat is far superior in maintenance. And the way you seem in the comments you wrote, your just an ignorant piece of shit that won’t take other people’s opinions or their VALID points into consideration. You’re not an operator, you’ve just used one.

[@boward6686]

Kujob 6 say what you want! Sense the mid70s we have had skidloaders and we have had several right now I have four, I buy them I pay for them and I operate them I know what it costs to maintain them!! The one bobcat that I had I think it was a 873 was nothing but a pain in the ass for a machine that had less than 1000 hours on it it was always something and slow controls! It’s not ignorance it is called experience been down that road so say what you want! I’m not a 20 something-year-old that ran my daddy’s skid loader A few times, i’m the real deal we run these things every day!! Been moving dirt for almost 40 years!! Have you??

What a useless sales pitch over two things that don't matter on a job site - how about comparing break out force, hydraulic flow to effectively use attachments or lift/dump heights and tip weights for those of us who WORK with machines instead drag racing them or how it might ride when you are delivering eggs. How about maintenance and durability? We no longer use Bobcats because they break. And since I'm not drag racing or delivering eggs ….Case machines are far superior in almost every other aspect that actually matters …... lol .....silly useless video ….. nice try.

[@MerzFarmEquip]

Speed doesnt matter on a jobsite? Or smooth ride to make sure your not spilling from your bucket? Only having half a bucket load of material by the time you get to the pile or truck? This video show how much faster the Bobcat is, how much more work can be done on a jobsite in a day. Breakout force, dump height and hydraulic flow are easy to compare on paper, no need for a video. This video is about features of the machines. Specifications can be compared on paper. Or in a single photo.

[@ezm6153]

@@MerzFarmEquip With all do respect, NO, it's a secondary consideration to the attributes I've mentioned - and, keep in mind the difference is you SELL equipment for a living - I'd expect you to say something like that. We RUN/WORK equipment for a living and those of us that do will take those attributes over a silly drag race on a paved street anytime.

[@RitzWood32]

EZM Jebbiseovic well said 👏🏻

[@gotjuice7160]

Agree 100%. let’s do the same ‘drag race’ over bumpy terrain with buckets filled with sand. Engage Ride Control on the Case and repeat the test. Bobcat will lose a lot of it’s load. And after working both Bobcat and CASE machines in construction, one of them has had no breakdowns. The bobcat did not stand up. But credit where it is due, the bobcat does have a nicer interior to sit in while waiting for your mechanic to show up

Not much comparing there, not in it for drag racing, it's a piece of equipment not a racecar or Cadillac. I won't to see real work being done, like moving dirt, rocks trees, you know WORK! Bobcat can't handle that kind of work.

[@MerzFarmEquip]

Do you own a machine with 2 speed? If so why did you pay for that option? Speed of the machine will allow you to move more dirt, get from point A to point B. Productivity of employees and operators. The track suspension allows to keep that speed without losing the material, allows the operator more comfort and ability to keep focus on the job. Easy service and maintenance allows it to be done quicker and easier.
