    What Makes the L65 Different

    Z-Bar Linkage & Powerful Breakout Forces

    The Z-Bar linkage design produces 8,073 lb of bucket breakout force and keeps the lift path nearly parallel to the ground — minimizing spillage and maximizing how much material moves per cycle.

    55 HP Non-DPF Turbocharged Engine

    The turbocharged Bobcat engine meets Tier 4 emissions without a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or SCR — no regeneration downtime, fewer components to maintain, and reliable cold-weather starting.

    Electronic Hydrostatic Transmission (E-HST)

    The E-HST delivers effortless direction changes, efficient acceleration, and precise speed control. Combined with the engine's horsepower management, it automatically maximizes pushing and loading power for tough applications.

    2-Speed Travel up to 15.1 mph

    Switch speed ranges on the fly with a joystick button — no stopping required. Low range for controlled work, high range for fast site travel or road transport between jobs.

    Automatic Parking Brake with Slope Assist

    The parking brake engages automatically when you release the accelerator at idle. Slope Assist holds the machine's position on inclines and trailer ramps — a safety and convenience feature not common in this class.

    Advanced Attachment Control Mode

    Decouple engine speed from travel speed for full aux hydraulic performance while holding position. Set drive speed in 1–99 increments for precision attachment work — ideal for snowblowers, brooms, and other flow-sensitive attachments.

    Power Bob-Tach® & Standard Aux Hydraulics

    Change non-hydraulic attachments from the cab with Power Bob-Tach. Standard auxiliary hydraulics (19.9 gpm) support a wide range of Bobcat attachments, and dual-direction detent keeps hydraulic flow engaged without holding a switch.

    Pressurized Cab with Fingertip Controls

    The pressurized cab repels dust and improves HVAC efficiency. The seat-mounted joystick moves with the suspension seat, and fingertip controls put forward/reverse, 2-speed, differential lock, and aux hydraulics at your index finger.

    Machine IQ Telematics

    Monitor location, health, and security status from any device. Remote tracking, fault code notifications, and utilization reports keep you connected to your L65 whether it's on-site or across town.

    L65 Features & Benefits

    Performance 7
    Impressive Lifting Capabilities

    For efficient lifting and loading, Bobcat compact wheel loaders are tough to beat. Standard bucket capacities of up to 1-cubic yard make fast work of tough material handling in landscaping, construction, agriculture and many other industries.

    Pushing Power

    A powerful combination of the electronic-hydrostatic transmission and horsepower management automatically adjusts the compact wheel loader's drive system to maximize pushing and loading power. Unlike other anti-stall systems, the Bobcat compact wheel loader allows for maximum engine and drive torque to match your toughest applications.

    Electronic Hydrostatic Transmission (E-HST)

    Bobcat compact wheel loaders excel at material handling and other jobs that require high maneuverability. The electric-hydrostatic transmission (E-HST) offers the easy direction changes, efficient acceleration and effortless speed control that helps operators accomplish more in less time.

    Z-Bar Linkage

    The Z-Bar linkage design provides powerful breakout forces while maintaining a lift path nearly parallel to the ground. This combination of powerful breakout forces and bucket alignment result in minimal spillage and maximum productivity.

    Bobcat Engine

    The turbo-charged Bobcat engine efficiently delivers powerful, high-torque performance. It achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). This means fewer components for easier maintenance, and no downtime for DPF regeneration.

    Operators also appreciate the engine's reliable cold weather starting and a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.

    2-Speed Control

    With two speed ranges, operators can adapt the performance of the Bobcat compact wheel loader to whatever the job requires. A convenient button on the joystick allows the operator to easily change between speed modes for work or travel.
