Bobcat S70 Maintenance Schedule
Use this schedule as a field planning aid for the 23 hp class diesel. Typical values; verify in the operator's manual.
| Service item | Typical interval | Field note |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil | 250 hours | Shorten for dusty, hot, idle-heavy, or severe-duty work. |
| Hydraulic fluid | 1000 hours | Watch for contamination, overheating, slow functions, or leaks. |
| Filters | 250 hours | Includes engine oil, fuel, air, hydraulic, or separator filters as equipped. |
| Grease points | Daily to 50 hours | Daily lift arm, tilt cylinder, and Bob-Tach grease points |
| Tracks / tires / running gear | Every shift | Check tire pressure and lug nuts every 10 hours |
Always verify capacities, fluids, filters, break-in service, and exact intervals against your operator's manual and warranty requirements.
Skid Steers maintenance tips
Skid steers and compact track loaders usually fail maintenance discipline in the same places: grease points, dirty cooling packs, track tension, and skipped fluid samples. Put the daily walkaround next to the hour-meter habit. Clean debris from the belly pan and radiator screen, look for shiny pins that are running dry, and write down track or tire issues before they become a jobsite delay. Attachments matter too. A machine running a mower, breaker, planer, or trencher often needs more frequent inspection because shock load and dust accelerate wear. Treat this schedule as the starting baseline, then shorten intervals for demolition, forestry, hot weather, and dusty grading.
