Used the Bobcat S70 for a week on a landscaping task. It’s agile-worked wonders in limited spaces. Lifted heavy materials well, though not the best for larger projects. Easy to operate. Maintenance seems straightforward, but there's no noticeable improvement in noise insulation compared to previous models.

I found the Bobcat S70 quite useful for its compact size, especially when I needed to access areas with limited space. The engine performance is decent, though it did feel a bit strained under heavier loads. Maintenance is straightforward since service points are easily reachable, a big plus when time matters. Maneuverability is fairly good, yet operating in rugged terrains revealed some lack of stability that could use improvement.

Having operated the Bobcat S185, I find its performance quite satisfying for mid-scale projects. Its reliability stands out, though the maintenance demands attention to ensure optimal working conditions. The controls respond well once finely tuned.

So, I’ve had some time working with the Bobcat S70, and while it sure has its benefits, a few things stand out. It’s perfect for tight spots - navigating through those narrow pathways is a breeze. The engine feels reliable, but the cab could be more spacious. After a long day, those foot controls feel a little cramped. Fueling up is straightforward, though I wish the gauge was better positioned. It clears snow efficiently, but the heater could use more output. Overall, it’s a strong performer, though it’s not without quirks.

Gave the S185 a spin last week. The build quality holds up, and the bucket size at five and a half feet is decent for general needs. Its counterrotation capability adds to maneuverability in tighter spaces. That said, the top speed isn't entirely thrilling. Overall, good for various tasks but has limited comfort for extended operation hours.

Used the Bobcat S550 for site preparation last month. Power delivery was consistent, enabling effective handling of heavy loads. The operator cab had decent visibility and adequate space, making longer hours manageable. However, I feel that the hydraulic flow while multitasking could occasionally lag slightly. Maintenance notifications were very helpful in keeping up with servicing needs. This machine proves dependable for various assignments.

I’ve been using the Bobcat S550 for a while, primarily for moderate construction tasks. Its maneuverability stands out, especially in tight areas. Maintenance has been straightforward so far. One downside is the fuel consumption; it could be better for long hours of work.

I've used various skid steers, and recently got behind the controls of the Bobcat S70. It's compact size is amazing for tight landscaping tasks. The cab is sufficient, though a bit snug, but manageable for me. The controls are intuitive, making for smooth operation. I did face a minor hydraulic fluid leak, but the service resolved it quickly. Overall, this machine is practical for jobs requiring agility and efficiency.

Used the S70 for snow removal on sidewalks during winter. The heated cab feature was welcome in harsh conditions and kept me relatively comfortable. While smaller tires provided precise maneuvering, they occasionally struggled on uneven ice patches. Performing maintenance was straightforward with easily accessible components. Overall, a functional compact unit.
