At the SaMoTer 2026 Fair in Verona in Italy from 6-9 May, the star attraction of the impressive product display on the Bobcat stand is the first showing in Europe of the latest evolution of the company’s R-Series Compact Loaders.
To further demonstrate the company’s leadership of the compact loader market in Europe, Bobcat is also presenting a new version of the company’s T650 compact tracked loader at SaMoTer.
The next generation R-Series skid-steer and compact track loaders introduce significant enhancements in reliability, performance and operator experience. In recognition of these changes, Bobcat has updated the nomenclature of its R‑Series models to identify the latest generation of machines.
This approach supports continuous advancement at the model level, allowing new technology and performance enhancements to be introduced more frequently. As updates are rolled out, model name changes provide customers with confirmation that they are getting Bobcat’s most current innovations.
R-Series models include:
- Compact Track Loaders: T66-2, T76-2, T86-2
- Skid-Steer Loaders: S66-2, S76-2, S86-2
This latest R-Series evolution brings a redesigned electrical system for improved durability, a suite of quality and uptime improvements, the addition of up to 3.7 m (12 ft) lift height capability on the S86/T86-2 models, a new 8-inch touchscreen display with integrated technology and four selectable drive modes that let operators customize machine responsiveness.
