The Bobcat S185 is a compact skid-steer loader with an operating weight of 2822 kg and an engine output of 56 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.38 m3, positioning it in the mid-range segment of the skid-steer category. The S185 is a widely recognized model in the Bobcat lineup and has established a substantial presence in the European used-equipment market.
Skid-steer loaders of this class are suited to site preparation, material handling, landscaping, and agricultural yard work where maneuverability in confined spaces is required. The compact footprint allows operation in areas inaccessible to larger wheeled loaders or telehandlers. Bucket and auxiliary hydraulic attachments extend the range of tasks the machine can perform across construction, utilities, and groundworks applications.
Prospective buyers should inspect the undercarriage and drive components carefully, as skid-steer loaders in this weight class are subject to significant lateral stress during operation. The hydraulic system, including hoses, couplers, and the auxiliary circuit, warrants close examination for leaks and pressure performance. Buyers should verify the condition of the bucket cutting edge and lift arm pivot points, request full service documentation, and confirm that any attachment interfaces are undamaged and compatible with intended tooling.
In the European used market, the Bobcat S185 trades at an average of EUR 15750, with a typical price range of EUR 13600 to EUR 18000 depending on condition, age, and specification. Comparable competing models in this segment include the JCB 190 and the Caterpillar 236D, both of which occupy a similar size and power class and appear alongside the S185 in buyer shortlists. Availability of the S185 across Europe supports relatively consistent pricing within the stated range.
