Delivering 55 kW (74 hp) and a 1,192 kg capacity, the Bobcat T650 brings heavy-duty versatility and comfort to tight jobsites.
The 55 kW (74 HP) Stage V Bobcat engine delivers reliable power for your daily tasks while meeting current emissions standards.
The vertical lift path and 1,192 kg rated operating capacity allow you to lift heavier loads higher, making truck loading and material handling much easier.
Low ground pressure and a compact footprint let you work on finished turf or in tight urban spaces, while still delivering the breakout force and traction you need to push through tough materials.
The zero-turn design provides exceptional maneuverability in tight spots. With 2-speed travel up to 14 km/h and Automatic Ride Control , you can move materials across the site quickly and smoothly.
All daily fluid check points and greasing points are easily accessible from ground level, so you can finish routine maintenance faster and get straight to work.
Built-in Machine IQ telematics connect you directly to your loader, helping you track performance, plan maintenance, and maximize uptime without having to leave your desk.
The rugged steel frame and protected components keep your machine running in harsh environments. An efficient cooling system and reversing fan prevent debris buildup to ensure consistent operation.
A forward-positioned cab and a fully transparent front door provide excellent visibility to the bucket and surroundings. Standard LED working lights keep your site safely illuminated during early mornings or late nights.
Choose between intuitive Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) with speed management to prevent stalling, or traditional Manual controls (hand and foot). Both options deliver smooth, precise responsiveness for accurate work.
The pressurized cab keeps dust out while climate control maintains a comfortable temperature. Ergonomic features, a supportive textile seat with attached joysticks, and a backup camera help reduce fatigue during long shifts.
Tackle the toughest jobs with the High Flow auxiliary hydraulics option. Delivering 115.5 l/min, it provides the necessary power to run heavy-duty attachments like cold planers, stump grinders, or forestry mulchers.
Quickly swap from sweepers to heavy-duty grapples using the Bob-Tach system. The Attachment Control Device and auxiliary couplers ensure your attachments communicate perfectly with the loader for maximum performance.
Machines in one range are compared against each other — these are the four figures the choice usually comes down to.
The largest M-Series machine: easy truck-side loading, extra dump height and forward reach, and a 3,510 kg tipping load. With High Flow, up to 115.5 l/min to the attachment. Stage V engine with no AdBlue.

On a tracked machine the undercarriage is what decides your cost per hour.
Rollers and idlers are forged steel — no weak plastics or rubber, which are the first parts to fail. Sprockets are forged with an HT-5 hardness rating, the highest of all Bobcat standards for hardness, tensile strength, impact, casting and surface.
A horizontally mounted tension cylinder leaves room between the frame and the track for cleanout. The frame is sloped on both sides, so sand, dirt, mud and debris shed by themselves through the day, and raised cutouts between the rollers make it easy to clear the rest by hand.
Front idlers ride on the rubber track's roller way and the rollers are wider — less vibration for the operator and less track wear. The optional Torsion Suspension adds dual-flange front idlers and wider rollers still: the comfort of roller suspension with the stability of a solid-mounted undercarriage.
Single-flange rear idlers keep track tension consistent, which markedly reduces the chance of the track loosening and de-tracking in tough conditions.
Bobcat rubber tracks, idlers, rollers and sprockets are designed as one set to factory tolerances. Mixing them with non-genuine parts breaks that geometry: uneven track wear costs more than the part ever saved.
Broken down by stage of work — what the job consists of and what does each stage. What is available on this particular machine is in «Compatible attachments» below.
The five stages every site goes through — from ground nobody has touched in decades to a lawn that will be maintained for years. Tracks work for you twice here: low ground pressure spares turf and paving, while traction lets you climb inclines and cross wet ground.
Stumps, brush, self-seeded growth, construction debris. Remove everything unwanted without damaging what stays.
Pull out the big stones, break up the soil, bring it to level. The landscape rake picks up rocks from 19 mm while smoothing the surface; the grader blade is six-way with a reversible cutting edge and optional laser control. A mistake here shows up a season later as settlement.
Services, drainage, holes for posts and trees. The knuckle-joint auger holds vertical on any terrain and digs 30 cm deeper than standard units. The trencher puts pipe below the frost line in a single pass.
The seeder places seed at the right spacing and depth — germination is more even than broadcasting, and seed does not spread where it is not wanted. The soil conditioner follows the ground contour and prepares the bed for seeding or sodding.
The job does not end at handover: usually the same client asks you to maintain what you built — all year round. Swap the attachment and the machine turns from a build machine into a service machine.

The full pavement repair cycle on one machine: strip the old surface, bring the base to level, clean, lay the new material, compact. Tracks provide the stability and push force without which a heavy attachment such as a planer simply slips.
Removing pavement and cutting trenches through asphalt, concrete, frozen ground and wire mesh. The planer's hydraulic side-shift works tight to kerbs and walls, each ski has independent hydraulic depth control, and teeth can be replaced individually to match the material. The wheel saw cuts from 15 to 80 cm deep.
The base under the new surface. The grader blade is six-way with a reversible cutting edge and manual side-shift of up to 30 cm each way, optionally with laser control. The HD box blade cuts in both directions and tilts up to 20 cm — handy on car parks and pavements.
Before the bituminous layer the surface has to be clean and dust-free. Sweepers clean forward and in reverse; the HD open-frame sweeper carries its brush ahead of the bucket, which suits milled asphalt. The multipurpose sweeper's hopper opens hydraulically from the cab. The pressure washer runs from the cab or off a 20-metre hose reel.
Pavements, road widening, trench backfill, sub-base layers. Spread thickness is adjustable and there is hydraulic side-shift.
Compacting a trench bottom with an attachment removes the need to put a worker down there. For the road surface, use the vibratory roller attachment or dedicated light compaction equipment from the Bobcat range.

The cutter turns a tree into mulch in one pass — no separate felling, skidding or haulage. The compact machine slaloms between trunks and takes out exactly what needs to go.
The cutter cuts, grinds and mulches a tree within minutes, leaving a clean site. Spiral tooth pattern, double-tipped carbide teeth, below-grade operation.
Grabbing, loading and chipping slash. The root grapple is built for branches, brush and heavy material — a heavy-duty design that improves wear life.
The stump grinder sits at 90°, so the stump stays in view from the seat, and it grinds away the concealed part up to 30 cm underground as well.

The compact machine reaches the target tree between the trunks, and travels on an ordinary trailer.
Only the selected tree is cut — surrounding vegetation is left undamaged.
The mandatory protection kit gives the operator and the machine top-level protection in these conditions.
No extra equipment required: from standing tree to mulch.
| Cutting width, mm | Teeth | Counter-cutter rows | Tree diameter, continuous (mm) | Tree diameter, intermittent (mm) | Tree diameter, occasional (mm) | Weight, kg | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRC150ST | 1 500 | 30 | 3 rows | 100–120 | 150–200 | 220–260 | 850 |
| FRC150HT | 1 500 | 30 | 5 rows | 100–120 | 180–220 | 250–300 | 1 050 |
| FRC200HT | 2 000 | 36 | 5 rows | 100–120 | 180–220 | 250–300 | 1 270 |
All three run on High Flow only and require a control kit — on a machine without High Flow the cutter will not work. Trunk diameters: “continuous” is sustained operation, “intermittent” is individual trunks, “occasional” is the limit diameter. HT models use the variable-torque M-Boost motor: 40% more power and fast recovery from overload. We confirm the exact model for your machine at order.
