New T180 Track Loader Takes on Big Digging and Grading Jobs

T180 compact track loader

The T180, the newest Bobcat® compact track loader, combines a radius path lift arm with a 66-in.-width to work quickly and productively in limited access areas.

It offers nearly all the features of the vertical lift path Bobcat T190, including the same physical size and the same Tier II compliant engine—a 61 hp direct injected turbo-charged Kubota diesel.

The maximum forward reach point of the radius lift path T180 is at the middle of the lift height. That reduces cycle times in certain applications.

“Since you don’t have to raise the bucket all the way up to the top of the lift path for maximum reach, the machine is more efficient than a vertical lift path model for non-loading jobs,” says Lance Schulz, Bobcat loader product specialist. “That includes excavating, backfilling, grading, spreading and carrying materials.”

With a rated operating capacity of 1,800 lb. (at 35 percent of its tip load), the T180 can take on a variety of lifting jobs. At the same time, the dedicated track system, with 12.6-in.-wide rubber tracks, provides the flotation to keep working in soft, muddy conditions that would stop a wheel loader. Along with a smooth ride and superior tractive effort, the tracks also minimize ground disturbance when working on turf.

Standard features include an adjustable suspension seat, deluxe cab and top and rear windows. For even more comfort and convenience, the T180 can be equipped with options such as the advanced control system (ACS) that allows you to switch between hand or foot control of lift and tilt functions; enclosed cab with heater and air conditioning; keyless start system for added security and the Power Bob-Tach™ system for mounting and removing attachments without leaving the operator’s seat.
