The Bobcat 863 is under 7 feet tall, a little over 11 feet long, and only about 6 feet wide. It is a great choice in tight spaces. Powerful but still easy to handle, the 863 is a solid pick. Use your machine over time, and parts will wear out. It’s important to know Bobcat 863 specs. These details help you know how the machine performs and make it easier to find the right replacement parts that actually fit.
Bobcat 863 Key Features
The Bobcat 863 isn’t just about specs—it also has some really useful features that make it more flexible and safer to use.
- Versatile attachments: You can use it with all kinds of Bobcat attachments. It’s quick to switch from a bucket to a backhoe, pallet forks, a landscape rake, or a tiller, so one machine can handle lots of different jobs.
- BICS™ safety system: This is an important safety feature. The operator has to be sitting in the seat with the seat bar down before the machine can move or use hydraulics. It helps prevent accidental movement.
- High-flow hydraulics: There’s an optional high-flow setup that boosts hydraulic flow to 30 GPM. This gives enough power to run heavy-duty attachments like pavement planers, chippers, and stump grinders.
- Easy to service: The rear tailgate swings open, so you can easily reach the engine, filters, and battery. Also, you don’t need to lift the arms to do maintenance.
- Two-speed option: If you need to move around more on bigger job sites, there’s an optional two-speed drive. It lets the 863 go up to 12.5 mph.
