What the 763 is used for
The 763 was designed for dirt and aggregate loading, pallet handling, livestock and feed work, snow removal, site cleanup, and common attachment jobs. Its radial-lift design is useful for digging, pushing, and carrying material across a site.
It remains popular with owners who want a familiar mid-frame Bobcat and broad attachment compatibility. A well-maintained example can be a useful chore loader, though it is not intended to replace a modern high-flow machine for demanding hydraulic implements.
Why the Bobcat 763 stands out
The 763 pairs a 46 hp Kubota diesel with a useful 1,500 lb ROC in a widely supported platform. Its popularity means good parts knowledge and many compatible attachments, while a sound hydrostatic drive and hydraulic system are central to its continued value.
Buying a used Bobcat 763
Operate the loader cold and fully warmed up, checking for weak travel, excessive hydrostatic noise, or a pull to one side. Inspect chaincase and axle seals, loader pivots, cylinder packing, auxiliary couplers, tires, and welds around the quick-attach and lift arms; confirm serial-number-specific details with an operator manual or dealer.
