T870 Compact Track Loader

Advanced engineering and quality components on the 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriage work together to give you a better ride. Forged steel idlers guide and support the track. Solid, cast front rollers and idler mounts distribute stress across the entire system. An additional pivot point improves ride quality and absorbs jobsite stress and vibration. And a unique fifth link in the system acts like independent suspension.

Bobcat® loaders will meet your high expectations for performance, every time you use them. The design, balance and weight distribution have been perfected to deliver more usable horsepower, powerful breakout forces and faster cycle times. With a Bobcat loader you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.

Bobcat track systems are designed for simplicity and durability – andyou won’t find a tougher track system on the market! The forged steel idlers and steel imbed tracks are built for the longest-possible service life with minimal maintenance. And to gaurantee you more uptime, the solid-mounted drive motors and hydraulic hoses are better protected from debris, snags, vibrations, rubbing, mud and sticks.

Everyone is different, so which controls are best for you? Bobcat offers all the common loader control patterns that let you choose between control styles with the flip of a switch.
