Bobcat 753 Skid Steer Loader Overview and Hydraulic Specifications
#1
Machine Overview
The Bobcat 753 is a well-regarded mid-sized skid steer loader known for its balance of power, maneuverability, and versatility in construction, landscaping, and material handling applications. The 753 model belongs to Bobcat’s popular G-Series and F-Series lines, with slight variations in weight and capacity.
Key Specifications
  • Operating Weight: Approximately 4,740 lbs (2,150 kg)
  • Engine: Kubota V2203-EB, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine producing 43.5 horsepower
  • Rated Operating Capacity: 1,300 lbs (590 kg) standard; up to 1,400 lbs (635 kg) with optional counterweight
  • Tipping Load: 2,600 lbs (1,179 kg)
  • Hydraulic Pump Capacity: Around 14.3 gallons per minute (54 liters per minute) for auxiliary circuits
  • Travel Speed: Roughly 6.6 to 7 mph (10.6 to 11.3 km/h)
  • Fuel Tank Capacity: About 14 gallons (53 liters)
  • Bucket Width: Commonly around 55 inches (140 cm)
  • Dimensions:
    • Length with bucket: 120.5 inches (3,059 mm)
    • Width with bucket: 55 inches (1,398 mm)
    • Height to top of cab: 77 inches (1,956 mm)
Hydraulic Flow and Attachment Compatibility
  • The standard hydraulic pump delivers approximately 14.3 GPM, which is adequate for many attachments, including buckets, pallet forks, and small hydraulic tools.
  • High-flow hydraulic pumps are optional for the 753, delivering greater flow to power attachments requiring more hydraulic volume such as advanced snow blowers or hydraulic hammers.
  • A non-high flow 14.3 GPM pump may not provide sufficient hydraulic power to operate high-flow snow blowers efficiently, potentially limiting attachment effectiveness.
Attachment Suggestions and Limitations
  • When selecting attachments like snow blowers, it is important to verify compatible hydraulic flow requirements.
  • For users without a high-flow hydraulic pump, selecting standard flow snow blowers matched to the 14.3 GPM output will optimize performance.
  • Retrofits or upgrades to high-flow hydraulic systems are possible but require mechanical and hydraulic expertise.
Additional Features
  • Heavy-duty drive chains designed for minimal adjustment maintenance
  • Dual-path cooling system with debris-free air for reliable engine and hydraulic cooling
  • Operator-friendly cab design with easy access and clear visibility
  • Optional features include deluxe cabs with heaters, advanced control systems, and specialized tires
Terminology
  • Rated Operating Capacity: The safe working load the loader can lift without tipping.
  • Tipping Load: The weight at which the loader will tip when lifting a load.
  • Auxiliary Hydraulic Flow: Hydraulic fluid volume delivered to attachments.
  • High Flow Pump: A hydraulic pump delivering greater flow for demanding attachments.
  • Counterweight: Additional weight added to improve machine stability.
Summary
The Bobcat 753 skid steer loader provides reliable performance with a 43.5 hp engine and a 14.3 GPM standard hydraulic pump suitable for many attachments. However, users seeking to operate high-flow attachments like larger snow blowers must ensure compatibility with hydraulic flow or consider upgrading to a high-flow hydraulic system. Knowing machine specifications and matching attachment requirements ensures safe and effective operations across various jobs.
