Used Bobcat S185 Skid Steer Loader

This used Bobcat S185 is a compact skid steer loader ideal for loading, lifting, grading and site cleanup. With a rated operating capacity of 839 kg and a vertical lift configuration, it is a practical choice for construction companies, farms, equipment dealers and rental fleets.

The machine in the picture is equipped with a universal bucket, four pneumatic tires, an enclosed cab and air conditioning markings. Additionally, the front frame shows markings for a high-flow hydraulic system.

Longmai Machinery supplies inspected used skid steer loaders to global enterprise purchasers. We can provide current photos, operation videos, equipment details, export documentation and shipping support.

 

Higher Capacity in a Compact Unit

The Bobcat S185 has a reference rated operating capacity of 839 kg. Meanwhile, its tipping load is approximately 1,849 kg. On compatible configurations, an optional counterweight can increase the rated capacity to approximately 885 kg.

Although this machine is compact, it can handle many daily loading tasks. For example, it can move soil, sand, gravel, feed, construction materials and waste. Its operating weight is approximately 2,821 kg, making it easier to transport than a large wheeled loader.

 

Vertical Lift Provides Better Loading Reach

Unlike radial lift loaders, the S185 uses a vertical lift geometry. As the boom arms rise, the bucket moves more directly upward. This allows the machine to provide better reach near full lift height.

The bucket hinge pin height is approximately 3,002 mm. In addition, the reference dump height is approximately 2,310 mm, while the maximum dump reach is approximately 752 mm.

This design is useful when loading trucks, handling pallets or placing materials over higher walls. It also helps keep the load closer to the machine during most of the lift cycle.

 

Kubota Turbo Diesel Engine

A common S185 configuration uses a Kubota V2607-DI-TE3B-BC-2 engine. This four-cylinder turbo diesel engine has a displacement of 2.6 L.

The reference gross output is 45.5 kW or 61 hp. The net output is approximately 43.3 kW or 58 hp. Additionally, the liquid cooling design supports stable operation during longer shifts.

The fuel tank capacity is approximately 90.8 L. Therefore, the loader can complete longer working cycles with fewer refueling stops.

 

High-Flow Hydraulic Performance

The standard auxiliary hydraulic flow is approximately 64 L/min. However, high-flow configurations can provide up to 100 L/min. The machine in the picture bears a high-flow hydraulic system marking, but the system should be tested before the order is confirmed.

Higher hydraulic flow can support demanding work tools such as:

• Cold milling machines

• Hydraulic breakers

• Trenchers

• Snow blowers

• Rotary cutters

• Soil conditioners

• Sweepers

• Earth drills

The Bob-Tach quick-attach system also enables rapid attachment changes. Therefore, a single loader can perform multiple tasks within the same project.

 

Hydrostatic Four-Wheel Drive

The S185 uses a fully hydrostatic four-wheel drive system. The standard configuration features two manual control levers that govern the machine's travel direction and speed.

The reference travel speed is 11.8 km/h. Because the loader uses skid steering, it can turn in a small area. This makes it useful in courtyards, warehouses, farms and construction sites with limited space.

The unit in the picture is equipped with pneumatic tires featuring deep tread. However, buyers should confirm tire size, tread depth, sidewall condition and rim condition during inspection.

 

Enclosed Air-Conditioned Cab

The loader in the picture is equipped with a closed operator cab featuring front glass, side protection, work lights and air conditioning markings. Therefore, it can provide better comfort in hot, dusty or windy conditions.

The photos also show traditional manual controls. In addition, the cab is equipped with a safety lever for the operator seat and protective side screens.

Before purchasing, the air conditioning system, instrument gauges, warning lights, switches, seat belts, parking brake and safety interlock system should be tested.
