View Inventory Credit ApplicationWhat Is a Bobcat Skid-Steer Loader?
A skid-steer loader is a compact, engine-powered machine with lift arms that can carry a wide range of attachments, from buckets and forks to augers and brush cutters. The name comes from its steering method: instead of turning wheels, the machine skids by driving the wheels on one side faster than the other, allowing it to spin in place and maneuver in extremely tight spaces where larger equipment cannot go.
Skid-steer loaders are four-wheeled machines, which distinguishes them from compact track loaders that use rubber tracks instead of tires. Tires make skid steers faster and more maneuverable on hard, flat surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and packed gravel. For sandy or soft ground, which is common in Central Florida, a compact track loader may be a better fit. Our team at Jenkins Bobcat of Citrus County can help you decide which platform suits your specific terrain and job type.

Bobcat Skid-Steer Loader Models at Jenkins Bobcat of Citrus County
Bobcat organizes its skid-steer lineup by frame size and lift path. Smaller-frame models are best for confined spaces and lighter loads, mid-size models handle the broadest range of everyday tasks, and large-frame models deliver maximum power and lift capacity for heavy commercial work.
Small Frame Models
- S70: Bobcat's most compact skid steer, designed for jobs with extremely limited access such as interior demolition, narrow gate entries, and landscaping around established structures
- S450: 49 horsepower and 1,370 pounds of rated operating capacity, with a radius lift path well-suited for loading trucks and backfilling; a strong entry-level choice for landscapers and small contractors
- S510: 55 horsepower and 1,876 pounds of operating capacity, offering a step up in power and lift reach over the S450 for more demanding daily use
Mid-Size Models
- S550: Builds on the S510 with more power and capacity while remaining compact enough for most residential and commercial job sites
- S590: The highest-lifting and most powerful model in the 500 series, suited for operators who need maximum performance in a mid-size footprint
- S630 and S650: 600-frame models with vertical lift path geometry, which keeps the load closer to the machine during lifting for better stability when moving material at height
Large Frame Models
- S66 and S76: 74-horsepower machines with operating capacities of 2,400 and 2,900 pounds respectively, built for high-volume material handling and heavy attachment use
- S770: Bobcat's most powerful skid steer at 92 horsepower and 3,350 pounds of rated operating capacity, designed for the most demanding construction, demolition, and land clearing applications
