Do More Than Dig: Bobcat vs. Other Excavator Brands

[@oscarbear7498]

Shots fired 😂❤

[@shigetsan]

very happy with our new bobcat. amazing quality

[@MrBrandbld0616]

Hey the new e2 bobcat’s have the hydraulic couplers low On the arm.

[@atm451]

I have a 322 and couldn't fault it, done a lot of work now with no problem atall.. it's always good to be able to fit a bucket backwards , Im not sure that would be possible with that hitch

[@TF856]

I love the ability to turn the bucket around backwards! It does look impossible on the bobcat!

[@KarasCyborg]

I have an E55, great machine. I wish Bobcat had a standard way to pin back the Thumb attachments if you release the hydrualics and want to run something else. Looks like I will have to weld some sort of chain sling in order to pin it back.

[@BobcatCo]

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate hearing your thoughts, and we've passed this along to our product and engineering team.

[@KarasCyborg]

@@BobcatCo Good deal, show the engineering team the Menzi Muck too, Diverto, and the Mecalac. These are some really innovative designs.

[@Clarkejt112]

KarasCyborg we welded a tab on the boom and a tab on the thumb and just use a big bolt. Works well and easy to do. But I agree, sucks welding on a brand new machine. Plus there’s no loops to store u used hydraulic hoses from thumb and extendable boom when using auger or rotating claws. One more thing we had to weld on. The old 430 we had had it. Other than that the e55 is awesome

[@graysquirreltreeservice7299]

Looking at the 88 model can u compare lifting capability of other machines in class Kubota 080 especially, ty. Going to lift huge logs onto lx250 sawmill need some facts

[@mikehulscher7133]

I just bought a E35 R2 and there is no though bolt for the pins on the clamp cylinder.

[@Dont370]

As much as you want to make Bobcat look better, you forgot to mention that Bobcat runs on a Kubota engine. Nice try though.

[@jmhinescj]

I don't have a problem with a manufacturer specifically comparing their machines to other manufacturers machines, after all it's a competitive business. But at least be honest...I can swap the buckets in my John Deere mini in about a minute with nothing but a crescent wrench .

[@jameslindley924]

hyd hitch is worth it all the way !!

[@davidmize8489]

Not exaggerating I switch my bobcat bucket start to finish in 10-15 seconds.

[@Drew6709]

I'd like to see more comparisons involving GEHL, Wacker Nueson, yanmar, takeuchi, JCB, Hitachi, Kobelco, Komatsu. With just 3 other machines to compare to. Makes me think BOBCAT can't compare to the others.

[@BobcatCo]

Thanks for your comment! We appreciate the feedback. As it stands now, machines featured in Advantage videos are top Bobcat competitors (based on market share) for each product category.

[@Drew6709]

Bobcat Company - Still a pretty poor comparison if NOT ALL machines in the same weight class are not included. If Volvo, Wacker Neuson, GEHL, Takeuchi, and the rest aren't involved, how can ANY comparison be fair or done right?

[@whommee]

Bobcat mini excavators are built better than ANY of the other brands,, no comparison,, in any weight class Bobcat stays on top ,

[@bolocang1]

@@whommee Realy? do you belive this? I have Bobcat and Kubota, both 1.7 to, The Kubota is 10x better

[@DieselRamcharger]

@@whommee PPFFTTT lmao. No. Bobcat is the commodity brand. Throw away machines.

[@aleksandrdronov643]

Do not repeat my mistake. I realised too late that there is other brands making a lot better mashines then Bobcat. I bought three Bobcat skidloaders and four Bobcat mini excavators and all of them have problems.

[@ZR1Terror]

I think all machines of all brands will have problems

[@DieselRamcharger]

@@ZR1Terror Bobcat isnt what it used to be. The parts are WAY over priced compared to any other machine. like no joke 400% markup with a dealer network used to protect the price point.

[@DieselRamcharger]

@@ZR1Terror 93 dollars for a boom cylinder re-seal kit...... Bobcat is owned by Doosan. Doosan is Chinese. All the other major excavator brands are Japanese. Bobcat USED to be USA machines. Used to be.

[@ZR1Terror]

@@DieselRamcharger Doosan is South Korean.

[@ZR1Terror]

I was leaning towards Kubota but now I think I may want to go Bobcat.

[@gumballer133]

I have an E85 Bobcat excavator and it's such a great machine. I bought it new 4 years ago and couldn't be happier.

2015 E35 bobcat need tool to change bucket

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

There is no way a bobcat could match the service life or precision and speed of a cat unit. I’ve owned both and bobcat suffers in too many areas but the biggest failure in bobcat in the past few years has been service. They score absolutely bottom level

[@DieselRamcharger]

Dude the parts dept in Phoenix is a fucking joke. Bobcat needs some serious house cleaning. Cant support these machines any longer.

[@thereasonableamericans411]

Manufacturer trashing other manufacturers always looks desperate.

[@asherdie]

But none of those other machines is a Doosan, so there is that.

[@diezelpwr1202]

He's good...

[@5e34nut]

I love the bobcat e10 But this presentation really was untasteful and does the bobcat a disservice

[@nickhearn7288]

Nice that’s what I’m looking into. Can you put a rotating grapple on the e10?

[@Senor.Delarosa]

I just bought a bobcat E85 excavator and for any other way to get the buckets on got to open up the checkbook I got there pinned buckets that come factory it takes 45 minutes to change it because you got to pull the pins out

[@daniell4227]

I dont like that youre just straight up bagging other companies

[@Dont370]

He forgot to mention that Bobcat runs on a Kubota engine, lol. Kubota is better.

[@korculabuggyofficial4517]

yanmar is yanmar

[@DieselRamcharger]

x change system is terrible, you cant turn the bucket around backwards. you talk about versatility, yet Bobcat lacks the most basic feature that all the other manufactures have.

[@adipolivideos487]

In india bobcat machine full complaint Full leacage

[@TF856]

The title made it sound like you were talking about all excavators can do a lot more than just dig. But now it sounds like you're just doing an infomercial just for one certain brand! I already do not like bobcat!

[@TF856]

It sounds like maybe bobcat has gotten better since Dusan bought them out. I wonder if they still lack the feature called "dig to blade".

[@stanfordhire]

I was actually hoping for a reasonable review. This just seemed bitchy, they use a $1 cotter pin, we use a $1.50 bolt ffs
