L65 Key Features

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) and optional high-flow support the full range of Bobcat attachments. 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 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 results in minimal spillage and maximum productivity.

Bobcat Engine

The turbocharged 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) — meaning fewer components for easier maintenance and no downtime for DPF regeneration. Operators also appreciate 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.

Automatic Parking Brake with Slope Assist

Release the accelerator pedal as the engine idles and the compact wheel loader's parking brake automatically engages for operator convenience. The slope assist holds the machine's position on inclines and trailer ramps, giving you more control on every type of surface.

Uptime Protection 4
Machine Protection

Bobcat compact wheel loaders monitor engine and hydraulic functions. If conditions risk damage to the engine or hydraulic components, the system will alert the operator and, if necessary, de-rate engine power as well as hydraulic flow — while still allowing the operator to move the machine to an area for diagnosis.

Non-DPF, Tier 4 Solution

Tier 4 Bobcat engines in compact wheel loaders achieve emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). This means fewer components for easier maintenance, plus no work stoppage due to DPF regeneration.

Sealed Electrical Connectors

All controls and electrical systems are engineered for durability and peace of mind. Bobcat electronics feature watertight, corrosion-resistant connectors.

Side-By-Side Cooling System

The radiator and hydraulic oil cooler package deliver high-capacity cooling for optimal performance and superior component protection. Side inlets bring cool air into the engine compartment and send it through the screened rear exit.

Comfort 6
Spacious, Pressurized Cab

The roomy, comfortable cab is engineered for all-day operation with low noise levels and easy-to-reach, intuitive controls. The cab's pressurized environment repels dust and improves the efficiency of heat and air conditioning for comfortable operation on even the longest days and toughest jobs.

Optimal Visibility

The cab's tall, wide windows provide an optimal glass-surface area for high visibility to the jobsite — whether you're loading, grading, or navigating tight spaces.

Seat-Mounted Joystick

The joystick moves with the suspension seat for added comfort and enhanced controllability during operation. Operators can adjust the joystick forward and backward to their preferred position.

Fingertip Controls

Fingertip controls make it easy and comfortable to operate Bobcat compact wheel loaders. The joystick's directional switch for forward, neutral and reverse can be operated with the index finger. The differential lock, 2-speed travel switch, lift-arm float and auxiliary hydraulics are located at the top of the joystick.

The wide tailgate opening, with gas-assisted lift support, provides nearly 180 degrees of service access. Engine checkpoints are within easy reach, making routine maintenance quick and simple.

2.4 L Bobcat Engine

The Bobcat engine achieves emissions compliance without the use of a DPF or SCR — meaning fewer components and no regeneration downtime. It also shares design characteristics with other machines in the Bobcat lineup, so parts, filters and fluids are widely available across the North American dealer network.

Centralized Grease Points

A centralized grease bank makes essential daily maintenance quick and easy.

Machine IQ Ready

Bobcat compact wheel loaders are Machine IQ ready. Machine IQ wireless communications connect you to your machine's information anytime, anywhere, and from any device. Check on the health of your machines and remotely track information that enhances maintenance, security and performance.

Versatility 4
Advanced Attachment Control Mode

With the advanced attachment control mode, you can control engine and travel speed separately for full auxiliary hydraulic performance. Precision is key to attachment productivity — set drive speed increments from 1 to 99 for the ideal combination of attachment performance and machine control, and increase engine rpm with the engine speed dial to maximize attachment productivity.

Power Bob-Tach System

With the Power Bob-Tach® system, you can change non-hydraulic attachments without leaving the comfort of your cab. Just line up the attachment and press the switch.

Attachment Control Device

Included standard on cab-equipped machines and available as an option on canopy models, the attachment control device provides the capability to operate multifunction attachments such as the snowblower. Controls for all multifunctional attachments are integrated into the console or joystick for full controllability from the cab.

Continuous Hydraulic Flow with Dual Detent

Dual-direction detent allows hydraulic flow to be engaged continuously, in either direction, without holding a switch.
