The T66 was already Bobcat's bread-and-butter CTL, and the -2 keeps everything owners liked - the 2,450 lb vertical-lift platform and DEF-free 74 hp D24 - while fixing the electrical harness issues that were the R-Series' biggest gripe.
The new 8-inch glove-friendly touchscreen supports 20 operator profiles and split-screen camera views, so mixed crews can each store their own joystick response and drive-mode preferences.
Four drive modes (Balanced, Agile, Dynamic and Charged) with precision drive software genuinely change the machine's character, letting the same loader do delicate finish grading in the morning and aggressive dirt work in the afternoon.
Optional Bobcat Sense radar detection can slow or stop the loader for a person or obstacle behind it, with camera-based 360 detection alerting separately — a real differentiator for utility and municipal work. Both are options, and North America only.
Machine IQ telematics come standard with basics coverage, giving owners fault codes, location, and hours from a phone - handy for fleets that used to pay extra for third-party trackers.

Dealer pricing starts around $80k before high-flow or Sense options, a meaningful jump over outgoing T66 stock that has budget-minded buyers hunting R-Series leftovers instead.
It's a first-model-year machine that only hit dealers in summer 2026, so the new electrical architecture and touchscreen software are unproven in the field.
Power and hydraulics are unchanged - 74 hp and 17.6 GPM standard - so anyone hoping the new generation would close the gap with Kubota's SVL75-3 on grunt will be disappointed.
The added sensors, cameras, and software-defined drive modes mean more systems that require dealer diagnostics, chipping away at Bobcat's owner-serviceable reputation.
Running mulchers, planers, or snow blowers still requires the extra-cost 26.9 GPM high-flow option because the standard flow is modest for the class.
The 6,857 lb tipping load with torsion undercarriage trails heavier competitors like the Cat 265, so operators handling max-weight pallets at full reach need to mind stability.

Two-speed travel is standard rather than optional on the Pro machines, and 9.3 mph high range makes a real difference on long sites.
The 26.9 GPM high-flow option covers mulchers and planers that the 17.6 GPM standard circuit cannot run.
At 8,440 lb it is more than 1,100 lb lighter than the T66-2 while giving up only 100 lb of rated capacity.
The 120 in hinge-pin height matches the T66-2 exactly, so nothing is lost in reach by taking the smaller machine.
Torsion-suspension and counterweight options let rated capacity be tuned from 2,200 lb up to 2,450 lb.

$74,735 published is a lot of money for 68 hp, and only about $6,000 separates it from the more capable T66-2.
17.6 GPM standard flow is modest for a machine at this price, pushing serious attachment users to the high-flow build.
Rated capacity varies by 250 lb depending on undercarriage and counterweight, so a quoted figure has to be read carefully against the build.
Bobcat does not publish the engine model, so that spec cannot be verified from the maker.
