T66 Bobcat VS T76 Bobcat ! WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY... 700 hours of actual use combined! Comparing T76 to T66 bobcat track loaders

[@KPMACHINE1]

I read all the specs before purchasing and ended up with the 66! A brush cutter, bucket and pallet forks and I had to get a 16k trailer. Also 0% for 60 months! Best deal around.

[@maraudermitchelli]

Spencer thank you for taking your valuable time to answer my questions about my T66 track loader. You have a ton of experience 🙂

[@mattchonnahaf8069]

He also has a ton of experience lol his mouth

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Nice video I’m in the market for my first skid steer. Test drove the T76 the other day

[@daronsmith2229]

Thanks for the video. Im in the process of deciding which skid steer to get for my first. This was a real help!

[@lf3566]

I own the t66 and my buddy has the t76. We wanted to see who’s would win in a tug a war contest…long story short, he pulled me around with ease. The added weight makes a big difference when pulling or pushing big, heavy items

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I believe it !

[@nathanschilling9628]

I'd have to agree with everything you said for both of these machines. What I will say though, is that where the 76 really shines when compared to the 66 is digging. for having the same amount of power, the leap in digging capabilities is astonishing between the two machines.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

will have to try, I've always found when digging to back off the joystick a little bit and it digs better

[@jimchristenson5721]

Thank you.

[@mathieurivest2413]

Hi, I am a bobcat technician and if you have problem with coolant call your dealership and ask for the tubeline coolant field mod

[@rontopping2048]

Great video , 5 link suspension gives machine a wider stance, I have over 3 inches between tracks and side of machine with wide tracks , I believe my t66 is same width as t76 with narrow tracks . 74inch bucket is same width as my machine.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Thanks for the info!

[@madmurdock1]

Very interesting, thanks a lot! Have you operated a T86? A comparison to that machine would be nice!

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

If someone wants to send me one I’ll try it 💪🏼

[@maraudermitchelli]

Did you ever consider buying an ASV loader? Can the T66 load tandem dump, my truck's boards are 115"-117" high. You've worked with our company in the past and have done great work. I hope to finalize a purchase this week.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Not yet. Dealer is too far away

[@andrewslagle1974]

All the asv we had the bottoms wear out fast in heavy dirt work conditions .we went with takeuchi and wont buy any other brand !

[@maraudermitchelli]

How are the T66 wide track operating on sod? Great video

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Fine as long as you don’t turn sharp

[@1dillonbrent]

One of the mechanics at my bobcat dealer told me the mud gets under the cab where the hydraulic lines go through the wall. The metal cover has a big hole on the bottom and gives it a straight shot to the under cab area.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Did you watch the video? I actually cover that

[@1dillonbrent]

@@BeauEnterprisesInc yes I did but you were thinking it’s coming from the gap in the cab where you put your finger. I didn’t hear you say from the hydro hoses if you did my apologize.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

@@1dillonbrent probably a combination of both

[@TheAefril]

I saw a user recommend jamming a foam 'pool noodle' in the gap temporarily. Then rip it out when not needed. Does this work, anyone else try it?

[@luisarevalo8394]

Is this for both of the bobcat units in the video?

[@travisdavidson9315]

I was interested in this video until you reckoned solid mounted tracks are more stable. Torsion suspension keeps more traction over rougher surfaces and keeps the chassis more stable so you stay on grade over rougher surfaces to a point.

[@diggydr80]

They make a electrical fan that mounts in the engine bay that helps air filter life quite a bit we have one on our T76, other than that we love the machine and are looking to buy a 66

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I've seen that, but heard mixed reviews on how well it works

[@luisarevalo8394]

Why would you get a t 66?

[@evanpederson6020]

Hey there. I understand your t76 does not have the reverse fan option. Has that been an issue for you? I'm demoing a t66 that doesn't have that option and wondering if I need to add it. Thanks

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Not really needed unless your in leafy brush or hay. It doesn’t really do much for us in the dirt

[@yota87truck]

We use a T650 wide track. The T76 looks very similar. I worry the T66 will tear up lawns more with the narrower track.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

It’s all about the operator !

[@alexquinn7178]

do you feel the multi tracks are as durable as the c pattern? i am going to order one tomorrow

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Multi bar is not great in the mud. C bar isn’t great on blacktop. Pick your poison

[@ThriftyGarage]

We just added a brand new 2022 Bobcat T66 to our fleet! We dropped a comparison video between the T76 and T66 on our channel.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Nice !

[@timbradeen8459]

Wow! Awesome reviews. The dirt in the cab thing is shocking. Not good for long-term

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I had heard there’s a kit available to seal all that up

[@skliros9235]

You mention replacing swash sensor. Why do Bobcats always break? Lol. I'm still running my Takeuchi tl140 that I bought new. I've only had to do oil changes, and new tracks once. And I looked at the t300 back then. So glad I didn't get the Bobcat. Bobcat does make some nice cabs though.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Things happen.. that’s what the warranty is for. For every 1 person who says there machine is broken, there is 10 people who’s don’t and don’t say anything. My point, you only hear the negative, not the positive

[@michaelosetek4655]

Blown fuses are an indication of other problems as they are the weak link. These machines are incredible in their own right but require extra care. A well lubed and regularly cleaned BOBCAT will last many years.

[@dayumboydayum8461]

They’ve been slating the torsion axle system from Cat for years and they finally offer their own version

[@joeyc7970]

👍🏻

[@DeterminedBeast]

I'm in the process of buying a T64, same platform as the T66 but a smaller engine, 68hp instead of 74hp. Do you think that will make a big difference? I mostly use it for final grade

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I doubt it should be an issue. are you running any hydraulic attachments besides a bucket

[@DeterminedBeast]

@@BeauEnterprisesInc yes I run sweepers and augers, I got hi flow with the skid so it shouldn't be an issue in the long run. Probably less rpm under load, but I can live with that

[@crswiker1]

I currently have a T595, love the machine. I’m not liking the new stuff. Looks like I may have to switch to a Kubota.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Don’t get me wrong, I like the r series a lot, more than the m series. Just a few things they could improve on

[@timbradeen8459]

I'm a T595 guy too. The t66 is what I'm looking at. What do you not like about the 66?

[@luisarevalo8394]

​@BeauEnterprisesInc what are those things? Are the newer models fixing said short falls? What do you think about asv 75?

[@jandblawncare8570]

I have a 19 T590 and it has the C lug tracks and want to plow with it at some point but theyre useless on icy handpicked snow, how do those multi bar tracks do, I was debating between those or zig zag tracks.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Same, it’s time for new tracks on T66 and can’t decide what to do

[@michaelosetek4655]

Ladder bars ,only way to go ,easier on sod also😊

[@jarednelson1467]

Zig zag are pretty good in snow and ice.

[@rontopping2048]

Lock & lube sells rubber hose adapter

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I use the 90° now works great

[@LAKESIDEBOB1]

How does the T66 compare to the T250 any big differences?

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

T250 was a beast, pretty nothing it couldn’t pick up no problem. T66 is smaller but definitely can’t pick up as much as the t250. Although they both are capable of picking up exactly what they are rated for.

[@deadmuphinz]

Ok I just bought a T66 and I can't get it into 2 speed, seatbelt on machine warmed up, automatic ride control, high-range, the reversing fan and the tilt control do nothing when I press them. Do you have any Ideas?

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

does your machine have all those options?

[@wtomay7747]

I sold mine due to a multitude of small issues. That and it would just stop running out of nowhere....

[@deadmuphinz]

@@wtomay7747 mine ended up just needing a software update haven’t had any other issues since and the dealer picked it up and delivered it for free 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@wtomay7747]

It is the HUB controller and wiring harness. Mine started having little gremlins before it stopped dead in its tracks with electronics going haywire. Bobcat is aware of this although your dealer may not. It needs an $850 HUB controller and a new updated wiring harness at around 3k. These are parts costs only. If out of warranty call corporate. My T76 is still broken down 2 months later waiting on backordered harness. I sold every Bobcat thing I had and went with DEERE.

[@rexking3698]

T76 is more like 740. I got to have dump hight but adding t66 would give us more variety of task especially where space is limited. There nothing that can replace my 870.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I agree t76 is more like the t740

[@jeffhall768]

Every time I see one of these videos, I'm even happier that I got my John Deere instead.

For that grease point you can’t get to, why don’t you just drill that hole big enough to get your locking connection through? Sure no one would notice but you.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I’ve considered it

[@dapymp17]

What is the estimated lifespan in hours in your opinion with these new motors? 15,000 hours maybe? Thanks

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Not to sure. These are the doosan engine which we haven't had any problems with. These machines have Bosch fuel systems which was the number 1 problem with the old machines. The delpi systems where not good.

[@timbradeen8459]

For what they charge for these machines the dirt and new design stuff is unacceptable. Been running bobcats 20 + years. This really is unfortunate. Bobcat has always been such an amazing machine. They are going down hill with these designs. Nice job on the review.

[@wtomay7747]

Great Video! My use for the T76 is a bit rougher. I do Demo and site prep. I agree with the " Bull in a China cabinet" Mine is at the dealer for the 4th time. It stopped abruptly in the middle of a rd with all functions on except the motor. Sold it to the Bobcat dealer that installed a new key switch assembly and bought a 259D3. Hopefully in a few yrs they figure these out because I loved the ride and visibility but would buy a T66 over the T76 if I gave them another try.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Was it a Swash plate sensor?

[@wtomay7747]

@@BeauEnterprisesInc It is the entire wiring harness now. Apparently Bobcat knows there is a problem with the placement of the Hub controller and the harness. The machine has been down 2 months waiting on a harness. They haven't issued a recall but there is a 50ish point checklist and a service bulletin on it. I have a complaint number and have now had to contact corporate regarding this machine being down. The late model 2022 will be updated but every R Series built before is like mine. Waiting to spaz out due to water in controll module and harness.

[@rontopping2048]

Absolutely no tip with my t66 with 5 link suspension, holds grade perfectly, actually grades better than my t595 . Maybe the t76 is just tippy

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

possibly I like stiff suspension for grading
