The new Bobcat M-Series skid-steer and compact track loaders feature the most significant design changes undertaken by the company. This new design enables the operator to accomplish more work through performance and durability enhancements that provide more power and keep the loader working longer, while increasing operator comfort through improved visibility and a more spacious and comfortable cab.

The first M-Series models are the S630 skid-steer loader and the T630 compact track loader. The S650 and the T650 will be available in August and additional models will be available in the future.

The S630 has a rated operating capacity (ROC) of 2,180 pounds and an operating weight of 7,707 pounds. The S650 has a ROC of 2,690 pounds and an operating weight of 8,327 pounds. The T630 has a ROC of 2,230 pounds and an operating weight of 9,015 pounds. Finally, the T650 has a ROC of 2,570 pounds and an operating weight of 9,440 pounds.

Production
Productivity is the most important feature of any compact loader, which is why Bobcat has increased the performance of the hydraulics on M-Series loaders to enable them to efficiently accomplish more work.

The hydraulic systems on M-Series loaders have been engineered for higher standard flow and pressure that give attachments more power to work more quickly. Hydraulic horsepower has been increased more than 15 percent and the standard auxiliary hydraulic flow is now 23 gallons per minute at 3,500 pound per square inch and an optional high flow reaches 30.5 gallons per minute for maximum attachment performance.
