The Bobcat S550 is a mid-size skid-steer loader produced from 2013 to the present, with an operating weight of 2,841 kg and an engine output of 66 hp. It accepts a 0.71 m³ bucket and sits in the compact-to-mid-range segment of the skid-steer class. The machine is manufactured by Bobcat, a brand with an established global dealer and parts network that supports long-term ownership.
Skid-steer loaders in the S550's weight and power class are widely used in site preparation, landscaping, agricultural yard work, demolition support, and material handling in confined spaces where larger equipment cannot maneuver. The radial-lift arm geometry typical of this segment favors loading and dumping tasks at truck-bed height. Attachment versatility, including buckets, augers, planers, and pallet forks, extends the machine across multiple trades.
Before purchase, inspect the lift arm pivot points and wear bushings for play, as these are high-stress components on any skid-steer in active use. Check the undercarriage, including drive sprockets, rollers, and track or tire condition, for wear that indicates load intensity over the machine's life. Verify that the quick-attach coupler locks positively and that all hydraulic couplers are free of leaks and debris damage. Review any available service records to confirm oil and filter change intervals have been observed, and operate the machine through a full duty cycle to confirm hydraulic response, drive chain engagement on both sides, and lifting capacity feel. Cab condition, including door seals, HVAC function if equipped, and visibility from the operator station, affects both comfort and resale positioning. On used units, confirm that the engine runs smoothly at idle and under load without excessive smoke, and that no warning indicators are present on the instrument cluster.
The S550 competes directly with the Caterpillar 236D and the JCB 190, all three occupying the same mid-range skid-steer band. Against the Caterpillar 236D, the S550 offers a comparable power figure while Bobcat's broad attachment compatibility and parts availability are frequently cited as differentiators. The JCB 190 brings a similar operating weight class but differs in cab architecture and dealer network reach depending on the region. Within any price band for this model, the principal factors that move a unit are accumulated hours, service history documentation, tire condition and remaining tread depth, the presence or absence of a quick-attach system, the number and type of hydraulic attachments included, and overall structural condition of the lift arms and frame. Machines with factory cab enclosures, air conditioning, and high-flow hydraulic circuits command stronger positioning than open-cab or standard-flow units.
