The table combines manufacturers' data and measurements from Bobcat's comparison tests (11-2025).

Values measured by the Bobcat Institute unless stated otherwise. On the TL10V-2 the measured pushing force was about 25% below the brochure figure.

— means the manufacturer does not publish this figure.

What the table shows

Tipping load 4,050 / 3,137 kg (+913 kg), rated operating capacity 1,418 / 1,098 kg (+320 kg), pushing force 4,100 / 3,200 daN.
Tipping load is 81% of the machine's weight on the T76 and 67% on the TL10V-2.
Standard flow: 93.1 / 75.9 l/min.
Machine height 2.07 / 2.24 m; the TL10V-2 is 23 cm narrower over the tracks.
With the optional High Flow the TL10V-2 has more flow (129 / 119.6 l/min), the T76 more pressure (257 / 226 bar) and more hydraulic power (51.2 / 48.8 kW).

What it means on the job

A 1,200 kg load

1,200 kg is within the T76's rated operating capacity of 1,418 kg and above the TL10V-2's 1,098 kg.

Calculation: 1,200 < 1,418 kg; 1,200 > 1,098 kg

The same pile, half the fuel

In Bobcat's loading test the T76 moved about twice as much material per litre of fuel. For a job on which the TL10V-2 burns 200 litres, that points to about 100 litres for the T76.

Calculation: material per litre of fuel: about 2 : 1

A cold winter morning

In the test the T76 heated its cab from −1 °C to 20 °C in 9 minutes; the TL10V-2 needed more than 30 minutes.

Through a 2.2 m opening

The T76 (2.07 m) passes with 13 cm to spare; the TL10V-2 is 2.24 m high.

Calculation: 2,200 − 2,070 = 130 mm; 2,240 > 2,200

Closer look: notes from Bobcat's comparison test

Measurements and notes come from Bobcat's comparison tests (11-2025), in which both machines did the same jobs. These figures are not in the manufacturers' brochures. “Operator's opinion” is the personal impression of the operator who worked in the test: it is subjective, and your experience may differ.

Undercarriage and ride

Bobcat T76Ground clearance 23.5 cm. Protected 5-link torsion suspension undercarriage. 450 mm tracks on a longer wheelbase: 368 g/cm² ground pressure.

Operator's opinionsubjectiveTravel was smooth and stable.

Takeuchi TL10V-2Ground clearance 30 cm in the centre, 20 cm at the sides. Protected undercarriage without suspension. 400 mm tracks on a 12 cm shorter wheelbase: 411 g/cm² despite the lower weight.

Operator's opinionsubjectiveTravel came with jolts.

What it affects: Track suspension and weight distribution affect ride comfort and travel speed on rough ground; ground pressure affects how much the machine sinks in and marks the surface.

Joysticks and control

Bobcat T76Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC), ISO or H pattern, adjustable response; two proportional and two on/off auxiliary functions.

Takeuchi TL10V-2Pilot joysticks with one proportional and two on/off auxiliary functions. Response not adjustable.

Operator's opinionsubjectiveThe controls were very sensitive, and holding the travel direction was harder.

Visibility

Cab and climate

Bobcat T76Wide front door that opens outward. Air conditioning warmed the cab from −1 °C to 20 °C in 9 minutes. Hydraulic cushioning on lift and tilt, both directions.

Takeuchi TL10V-2The door lifts up under the roof, which adds 17 cm to the machine height. The same cab warm-up took more than 30 minutes; small air outlets. Hydraulic cushioning on boom up only.

Operator's opinionsubjectiveThe door was hard to open from inside and outside.

Attachments

Bobcat T76Bob-Tach quick coupler. Protected auxiliary lines in an integrated coupler block with pressure release and electrical connection (ACD) as standard; several auxiliary functions on the joystick.

Takeuchi TL10V-2Bob-Tach-type quick coupler. Separate hydraulic couplers on top of the arm, exposed; no electrical connection as standard. Fewer auxiliary controls on the joysticks.

Bobcat test results

	Bobcat T76	Takeuchi TL10V-2
Material moved per litre of fuel, loading test	about 2×	1×
Fuel used per hour, loading test	29% less	reference
Average speed in the driving test	11 km/h	9.1 km/h
Cab warm-up from −1 °C to 20 °C	9 min	over 30 min

Measured by Bobcat on the same loading job and driving course.

What it affects: Fuel per hour tells you what the machine burns; fuel per cubic metre loaded tells you what the work costs. That figure and cycles per hour set the fuel and machine hours per job — your operating cost.

Bobcat comparison test: both machines did the same job with the same material. Results are indicative — they depend on the operator, the material and the site.
