The Caterpillar 279 is a skid-steer loader in the compact equipment category, with an operating weight of 4520 kg and an engine output of 73 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.4 m3, positioning it as a mid-range unit suited to demanding site work. The machine competes directly in a segment occupied by established alternatives from Bobcat.
Skid-steer loaders of this class are commonly deployed in construction, landscaping, agriculture, and general material-handling operations. Their compact footprint makes them well suited to confined work areas such as urban construction sites, barn yards, and utility corridors. Attachment versatility, including compatibility with buckets, forks, and augers, extends their utility across multiple industries.
When inspecting a used skid-steer of this class, priority checks should include the condition of the undercarriage, drive chains, and hydraulic lines, as these are high-wear components in typical operating cycles. Buyers should verify service records, inspect the quick-attach coupler for wear or deformation, and assess bucket and boom arm condition for signs of stress cracking or unauthorised repairs. A functional check of all auxiliary hydraulics and attachment circuits is advisable before purchase.
In the European market, the Caterpillar 279 is priced at EUR 69,000, which represents the current observed price point for this model. Buyers evaluating this machine should benchmark it against the Bobcat T770 and Bobcat S850, which occupy the same competitive segment and should be considered when assessing relative value and specification trade-offs.
