Features & Notes
-
The machine supports a wide variety of attachments thanks to its auxiliary hydraulics and quick-attach system. everythingattachments.com
-
Because it’s been superseded by newer models (e.g., Bobcat S590 etc.), parts availability might require checking for compatibility. bobcat.com
-
For purchase or operation in markets like Singapore, you’d want to verify condition, original build year, hours of use, maintenance history, and whether high-flow hydraulics are installed if required for certain attachments.
Considerations for Use in Singapore / SEA Market
-
Fuel & emissions: Check the engine specification (diesel, emissions level) to ensure compliance with local regulations.
-
Transport & clearance: Given the width (~1.7 m) and height (~1.94 m), ensure access through doorways or site gates if indoors or under cover.
-
Attachment availability: Because the S185 is older, confirm that spare parts (especially hydraulics and major components) are locally available or reasonably imported.
-
Condition of used machines: For used units, pay attention to hours of use, structural condition (lift arms, bucket wear), hydraulic system leaks, and whether high-flow option is present if you need it.
