Bobcat is expanding its North American product lineup with the introduction of the B760 backhoe loader, which offers the most digging depth in its size class, according to the manufacturer.
With a wide range of job site solutions built into one machine, the backhoe loader features a lift capacity of about 1,000 kg at full reach, digging depth of 5.6 metres, and nearly 180 degrees of backhoe swing for less repositioning and quick cycle times.
As well, the backhoe loader comes with a standard extendable arm that provides up to 20-cm of additional dig depth compared to other machines of the same size.
The B760’s performance and versatility extend throughout the machine, with the front-end loader providing a lift capacity of 3,622 kg with its standard, general purpose bucket.
“The new B760 helps operators accomplish more on the job site with its dig, load and carry versatility,” said Jamison Wood, Bobcat Product Development Specialist.
“The backhoe loader is designed for durability, easy operation, simple maintenance and incredible performance. Its size keeps it accessible on sites with limited space, while its impressive travel speeds keep operators productive across large job sites.”
Bobcat engine
Powered by a turbocharged 3.4-litre Bobcat engine, the B760 delivers powerful, high-torque performance and efficiency. It achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
With powerful backhoe and loader breakout forces, operators can confidently tackle job site tasks such as excavation, site preparation, material handling, trenching and snow removal.
The power shift transmission provides quick direction changes while the backhoe loader’s swift travel speeds allow operators to minimize the need for a trailer.

With controls that are thoughtfully laid out and easy to use, new operators can become comfortable operating the machines in less time.
The easy-to-read, 127-mm, colour display panel provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities for efficient and productive operation. The operator station and optional cab are designed for all-day comfort, with controls designed for easy use and minimal operator fatigue.
The B760 backhoe loader is also equipped with several other productivity enhancing features, including:
- Ride control for reduced bucket spillage and enhanced operator comfort
- Automatic return-to-dig positioning to maximize cycle time efficiency
- Eight work lights for long days of loader and backhoe operations
- A 1.4-cubic-yard general purpose loader bucket for greater job site versatility
- Pilot controls for smooth, fast and precise backhoe workgroup operations
- Auxiliary hydraulics to power attachments from the front and rear
The B760 backhoe loader will start to arrive at Bobcat dealerships across North America in late 2024.
