The bright segment is what Bobcat T64-2 is rated to carry; the grey run past it is the rest of its tipping load. Bar length is tipping load drawn to the same scale on every machine on the site, so a short bar is a smaller machine and not a conservative rating.

One caveat on this machine: we could not find a published tipping load for it, so the figure above is its advertised capacity divided by the fraction its maker rates at. That makes the grey run arithmetic rather than a measurement, and it is the number worth asking a dealer to confirm.

Smallest of Bobcat's Pro track loaders, with 68 hp, 2,300 lb of rated capacity on the solid undercarriage and the full Pro cab and control package. It is for operators who want the -2 platform's tech in the lightest tracked frame it comes in.

Suits: Owner-operators who want Pro-series tech and tracks in the lightest frame Bobcat offers it in Its vertical lift path reaches highest at full extension, for loading high-sided trucks and stacking.

What owners report

Summarised from the sources listed below. Nothing here was tested by us.

Narrow and light are the reasons this machine exists. Among the Pro track loaders it is the one that fits residential access, and Bobcat kept the full Pro operator station on it - touchscreen, four drive modes, precision-drive software, standard two-speed travel - so the compromise is in power and stability rather than in the cab. Owners use them for landscaping, light construction and agricultural chores where minimal ground disturbance matters more than raw production.

The undercarriage is where the real buying decision sits. The solid arrangement is cheaper and simpler; the optional 5-link torsion suspension reduces vibration and noise and cleans out packed material faster, and on this frame it is genuinely optional rather than included, which is not the case on the T76-2 above it. Ground pressure runs 5.7 psi on standard tracks and 4.7 psi on the wide ones, and that spread decides whether you can work a wet lawn. Hydraulics are the familiar limitation: 17.6 GPM standard is fine for buckets, forks and augers and inadequate for continuous-flow attachments, so the 26.9 GPM option is effectively mandatory for anyone buying a track loader to run tools. Owners of this frame report the usual track-machine attention list - hydraulic seeps, track and sprocket wear, and undercarriage components that are consumables rather than lifetime parts.

Access or trailer weight dictating the machine makes it the right choice, or when you want a track loader that can work turf without tearing it. If neither constrains you, the T66-2's extra horsepower and stronger frame are worth the modest step in price, and if you do not need the Pro electronics at all, the Classic T595 is substantially cheaper. Before signing, decide the undercarriage and track width deliberately rather than taking what is on the lot, get high flow into the order, and confirm which counterweight the quoted rated capacity assumes.

What owners like

  • Rated capacity here is 2,300 lb taken at 35 percent of a 6,570 lb tipping load, which is a genuinely conservative measure - this machine holds more reserve than its headline number suggests next to a wheeled loader quoting 50 percent.
  • Two-speed travel is standard with a 9.3 mph high range, and on a long site that is the difference between a productive day and one spent crawling between the pile and the work.
  • It is several hundred pounds lighter than the T66-2 while giving up only 100 lb of rated capacity, which for some owners is the difference between the trailer they own and the trailer they would have to buy.
  • Overall width comes in around 72 inches with the torsion undercarriage, narrow enough for residential back yards and side access that the bigger frames simply cannot reach.
  • The optional 5-link torsion suspension undercarriage cuts vibration and noise and clears packed material out of the tracks faster, which is worth specifying on any machine that will see rough or sticky ground.
  • Wide tracks drop ground pressure from 5.7 psi to 4.7 psi, and on turf or soft ground that is often the difference between working and waiting for it to dry.

What owners complain about

  • About $74,735 published for 68 hp, with only a few thousand dollars separating it from the more capable T66-2 - a narrow enough gap that the step up is hard to argue against unless width or weight is the constraint.
  • 17.6 GPM standard flow with a 26.9 GPM high-flow option, so mulching heads, cold planers and large snow blowers all mean the extra-cost circuit on a machine that already costs plenty.
  • Rated capacity shifts with undercarriage and counterweight choice, so a quoted figure has to be read against the actual build rather than taken from a brochure line.
  • The torsion suspension undercarriage is an option on this frame rather than standard equipment as it is on the T76-2, and the solid undercarriage rides distinctly harder over broken ground.

What buyers ask

T64-2 or T66-2 - which should I buy?
Buy the T64-2 only if width or trailer weight forces it. The price gap is a few thousand dollars, and for that the T66-2 gives you 6 more horsepower, a stronger frame and a higher tipping load. If you are going to work it hard and access is not tight, the bigger machine is the better value.
Is the torsion suspension undercarriage worth the money?
On this frame it is an option, not standard, and it is generally worth it if the machine will see rough ground daily. The 5-link torsion arrangement damps vibration and noise and clears packed material out of the tracks faster, which reduces both operator fatigue and cleanout time. If the machine lives on smooth lots, the solid undercarriage saves money.
What ground pressure does it run, and will it damage turf?
Standard tracks put down about 5.7 psi and the wide-track option drops that to roughly 4.7 psi. Neither will float across saturated ground, but the wide tracks make a real difference on lawns and soft soil, and they are the reason landscapers choose this size. Specify them at order time if turf work is part of the business.
Why is the rated capacity lower than a wheeled Bobcat of similar size?
Because the measurement differs. Track loaders are rated at 35 percent of tipping load while wheeled skid steers use 50 percent. This machine's 2,300 lb comes off a 6,570 lb tipping load, so it is a more conservative figure than a wheeled machine quoting a similar number off a far lower tipping load. Compare tipping loads for a fair read.
Do I need the high-flow hydraulic option?
For buckets, forks, grapples and augers the 17.6 GPM standard circuit is adequate. For mulching heads, cold planers, large snow blowers and anything else demanding continuous flow you need the 26.9 GPM high-flow build. Because standard flow is modest for the class, treat high flow as part of the purchase price if attachments are the reason you are buying a track loader.
What does rated capacity depend on in the build?
Undercarriage choice and counterweight both move it, by a couple of hundred pounds across the range of configurations. That means a quoted figure is only meaningful alongside the spec of the actual machine. When comparing quotes between dealers, check that both are describing the same undercarriage and counterweight before concluding one machine lifts more than the other.
