Overview

The 2018 Bobcat T740 is a track skid steer known for sure-footed traction and smooth operation across a wide range of ground conditions. This machine’s diesel engine delivers the torque contractors expect for tough digging and loading, while the multi terrain (track) undercarriage helps keep you moving on soft, wet, or uneven terrain. Inside, the heated and air conditioned cab promotes productivity in all seasons, and pilot controls give operators the precise feel needed for delicate grading or steady, repeatable cycles when moving material. Paired with the included 80-inch bucket, this T740 is configured to handle daily production work with confidence.

Condition

This used Bobcat T740 shows 2,875 hours, reflecting an honest service life consistent with an actively utilized 2018 unit. Like all machines offered by NLEQ, it has been carefully tested and inspected prior to sale so buyers receive accurate, straightforward information and a reliable representation of the equipment. Prospective buyers are encouraged to contact us for the current inspection details and to request photos or video so you can evaluate the machine’s cosmetic presentation and operational performance to your satisfaction.

Advantages

Diesel power is the backbone of heavy equipment for good reason: it provides strong low-end torque, consistent fuel efficiency, and durability that stands up to long shifts and demanding workloads. On a skid steer loader like the Bobcat T740, that torque translates into responsive digging, confident pushing, and steady cycle times when loading trucks or stockpiling aggregate. For buyers who prioritize dependable productivity over novelty, diesel remains the smart choice.

The heated and air conditioned cab directly impacts operator output and consistency. Temperature-controlled comfort helps reduce fatigue, supports better alertness, and makes multi-hour shifts more sustainable—especially during peak seasons. In winter, a warm cab speeds early starts and keeps fogged glass at bay; in summer, air conditioning helps the operator concentrate on the work instead of the heat. For contractors bidding year-round work, a climate-controlled cab is not a luxury; it is a controllable variable that stabilizes performance.

Multi terrain (track) undercarriages excel where wheeled machines struggle. Tracks distribute the machine’s weight over a larger surface area, improving flotation on soft soils and reducing rutting in finished grades or landscaped grounds. The result is better traction, gentler ground pressure, and more days when you can work despite moisture, mud, or uneven subgrades. The track design also adds stability on slopes and offers a smoother ride over rough material, which helps the T740 maintain accurate bucket control when fine grading or carrying fuller loads.

Pilot controls are a welcome feature for experienced operators and newcomers alike. These hydraulically assisted controls deliver predictable, proportional response to small hand movements, allowing the operator to place the bucket edge precisely or feather movements for smooth finishes. Reduced input effort helps minimize fatigue over long days, and intuitive control response shortens the learning curve—useful when multiple operators share the same machine or when training new crew members.

An included 80" bucket gives this used Bobcat T740 immediate utility on day one. The wide bucket is well-suited for moving bulk material efficiently, cleaning up demolition debris, shaping pads, and backfilling. The extra width helps overlap tire or track paths while grading, producing a cleaner finish with fewer passes. For many jobs, this single tool covers the majority of daily tasks, making the T740 a straightforward addition to a fleet without requiring immediate accessory purchases.

Applications

Configured with tracks, climate control, pilot controls, and an 80-inch bucket, this 2018 Bobcat T740 is a versatile choice for general contractors, sitework crews, municipalities, and property managers. It can shoulder daily responsibilities such as pad building, driveway prep, grading and contouring, stockpile management, loading and unloading materials, and backfilling trenches. In adverse or shoulder-season conditions, the track setup maintains traction where wheeled machines may park, and the heated cab keeps operators productive during cold weather cleanup, snow pushing, and winter maintenance. In hot months, air conditioning supports longer shifts across large-scale landscaping or site cleanup. Its compact footprint also lends itself to urban work where space is tight, allowing you to maneuver around structures, utilities, and active trades while still moving a meaningful amount of material per pass.

Ownership Value

Buying a used Bobcat T740 from a reputable seller like NLEQ can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership compared to sourcing new, while preserving the practical capabilities your jobs demand. The combination of diesel power, a track undercarriage, and pilot controls is a proven formula for reliable output across changing ground conditions and crew skill levels. The climate-controlled cab helps you keep steady production in extreme temperatures, protecting both uptime and operator morale. With 2,875 hours and a 2018 build year, this unit sits in a desirable sweet spot for buyers seeking modern features without the premium associated with the latest models. The included 80" bucket eliminates the need for an immediate accessory purchase, and the clear pricing at $34,785 gives owners a transparent baseline for budgeting, job costing, and ROI planning.

Why this T740

Among used skid steer loaders, this 2018 Bobcat T740 stands out because it checks the right boxes for everyday productivity. It is a diesel track skid steer with pilot controls for precise operation, a heated and air conditioned cab for year-round comfort, and it includes an 80-inch bucket so you can get to work immediately. The hours are aligned with an actively used modern machine, and the pricing reflects solid value for a Bobcat T-series in this configuration. For buyers looking to strengthen their fleet with a dependable, capable loader that will perform on a wide variety of jobsites, this T740 is a smart, well-rounded choice.
