Design

Body Design

The undercarriage of the T770 has a solid mounting track. This makes the system fully closed for fewer maintenance intervals and improved stabilization. The idlers and rollers are made of steel parts with steel braces and reinforcements to work on the roughest surfaces.

The axle system has a heated inner bar with four rubber cords that provide heat for improved strength.

The T770 comes with a solid mount suspension system with an optional upgrade. The optional Roller Suspension(TM) system made of all steel components add high strength leaf springs.

To reduce damage to the vehicle, a special tensioning system keeps parts in place and prevents parts from coming loose. Hydraulic hoses are also protected and hidden under the carriage to reduce damage from getting caught or getting nicks.

The treads on the track steers come in 7 different tread patters for customized look at performance for all terrain.

Interior Design

You can choose from Bobcat’s premium class SJC (Selectable Joystick Controls) or Standard Controls based on your preferences.

The Selectable Joystick Controls provide fingertip controls for operating the track loader easily and precisely.

One of the best features of the Bobcat T770 track loader loader is that it comes with the Bobcat’s Deluxe Instrumentation Panel as standard. This panel brings the latest advancements in productivity, monitoring, and communication.

It provides you with the attachment information in real-time to track usage, read alerts, and monitor key loader operations. The panel offers an intuitive interface and sharp LCD where you can read notifications and access important data to make sure that your track loader is working at its peak capacity.

The 5-inch LCD screen on the T770 comes with special features such as laser guided attachment viewing, diagnostics and trouble shooting, and slope sensor.

Performance Design

The loader has a patented single-plane design that not only minimizes the load on pins but it also reduces side-to-side lift arm motion. The machine delivers more horsepower to help you work faster to save time and fuel.

The switch-activated automatic ride control feature detects when the vehicle is in motion and monitors balance in the vehicle and attachments to reduce spilling.

To improve leveling and dumping of a bucket, there is an optional hydraulic button positioning feature that can improve the controls.

For the driving of the track loader, there is an optional 2-speed travel option that provides faster travel speed. With or without this 2-speed option, built into the system is a speed management control that proves small and precise movements in speed. When the vehicle is in a stopped position, an auto idle featured will kick in to reduce engine run time and fuel. And on the other end, when the system is closer to max power, the horsepower management control kicks in to adjust the drive system to prevent stalling.

The driving controls, outside of speed can be used in a remote control operation (for SJC only). This allows the operator to move the vehicle without needing to be inside the cabin.

And finally during driving, there is an auto steering drift compensation feature that will minimize small changes in side to side motion for smoother and more direct routes.

Operator’s Comfort

The cushioned suspension seat allows you to work at a pleasant temperature, sit comfortably, and stay fresh for longer times. It ensures that you have the best possible all-around visibility for faster and easier operations.

The seat is placed mindfully so that you can see the cutting edge and bucket corners conveniently. You won’t need to raise the loader’s arms to view the tires or tracks. Better yet, you can easily adjust the seat by moving it backward or forward to suit your preferences.

If you live in a place with a cold climate, you can opt for a heated seat that will keep you warm. The company also offers different seat clothes and the air ride suspension seat for maximum comfort.

Other than the seat comfort, the operator-friendly control allows you to operate the loader with minimal fatigue. You can use the fingertip controls to use different Bobcat attachments, including grapples, buckets, tilers, sweepers, and soil conditioners.

The engine speed controls are located right in front of the seat so that you can use them conveniently. Plus, you can also adjust all the foot pedals based on your body’s needs.

For those equipped with the SJC, the levers move along with the seat for customized ergonomic positioning.

The Bobcat T770 offers a large entry/exit area, which means you won’t need to worry about bumping your head while entering or exiting the loader. The interior of the loader is also spacious to accommodate all types of people.

If you like to work in a clean environment, the Bobcat T770 track loader has got you covered. That’s because it comes with a pressurized cab, which means that the mud, dust, dirt, and other debris won’t enter the interior space. This feature also keep the air conditioning and heating in when activated.

The cab provides excellent visibility around the vehicle with large windows, including one on top. There are front and side LED lights that assist in operation when there isn’t enough light.

Attachments

The Bobcat T770 comes with a range of attachments which can be seen in the list below.

The process of changing the attachments is very easy using the standard Bob-Tach mounting system. The entire process of swapping an attachment takes only about a minute with this mounting system.

You can also go one step further by opting for the optional power Bob-Tach mounting system. This system allows you to swap your non-hydraulic attachments without needing to leave the cabin.

All you need is to push down the dash switch and the loader will connect its wedges into the attachment. It also allows you to change your hydraulic attachments and you can do it by securing the attachment and hooking up the hoses.

The attachments are also compatible with quick couplers on the track loader that allow pressure to release from the attachment and return back to the machine making for safe detachment.

Maintenance

The T770 is designed for easier maintenance. It has a swing-open tailgate for access to routine maintenance parts, and for the more complex system (hydraulic and hydrostatic components) the cab can be tipped back to reach them.

The basic gauges, such as the hydraulic oil level are conveniently located externally and can be observed outside the cab.

To prevent battery damage or draining, the T770 has an automatic shutdown system when idle for long periods of time which will shut down the engine, hydraulics and the lights.

Another great feature of this loader is that it requires less maintenance. The company has extended the maintenance intervals for the new engine that you get with the Bobcat T770.

You’ll need the first service after 500 hours of use and the frequency of the loader’s fuel filter replacements has also been reduced.

This track loader is non DPF (diesel particulate filter), meaning the loader engine has a special design where it doesn’t excrete as many particles. This reduces the need for replacing and cleaning the filter. These engines are also Tier 4 emission grade, according to SAE.

The cab also comes equipped with a dual-path cooling system that vents warm air out and away from the cab and engine. There is also an optional reversible fan that can push dust and debris away from the rear screen to keep the vehicle cleaner.

There are multiple functions build into the system that monitor and protect the engine and vehicle from damage. The first is coolant and oil temperature monitoring. The systems in place will monitor these temperatures to make sure they do not get too hot and will shut off the engine when this temperature is at risk of overheating the vehicle.

There is also cold weather protection built into the electronic system that ensures the engine has warmed up properly before being operated at the max power.

Final Words

The demand for construction vehicles and loaders continues to increase. The Bobcat T770 provides operators with the opportunity not only to meet but also exceed those demands. It’s an efficient, safe, compact, and powerful loader that’s ideal for tight and tall tasks.
