Bobcat has added the S450 skid-steer loader and T450 compact track loader to the company’s M-Series line, bringing the total number of M-Series models offered to 11 skid steers and 8 compact track loaders.

Replacing the K-Series S130, the 49-horsepower S450 delivers a 20-percent increase in auxiliary hydraulic pressure and features a non-DPF Tier 4 engine solution. The 1.8-liter ultra-low particulate combustion (ULPC) engine has a specially designed engine combustion chamber that reduces the amount of particulate matter, eliminating the need for a DPF while still boosting the machine’s torque over a wide range of engine rpm.

The S450, which has a radius-lift path, has a 1,300-pound operating capacity, 16.7-gpm auxiliary hydraulic flow and 3,300-psi auxiliary hydraulic pressure, which delivers a 22-percent increase in attachment performance. The lift height to hinge pin is 9 feet 2 inches, and the machine weighs 5,027 pounds. The length with a standard bucket is 124.9 inches and the width with bucket is 62 inches. The S450 also has an optional two-speed drive with a top speed of 6.5 mph in low and 9.2 mph in high when equipped with optional selectable joystick controls. The hydraulic filter lasts up to 1,000 hours, which is 500 hours longer than its predecessor.
