What the 773 is used for
The 773 was built for general excavation support, bucket loading, material handling, brush and manure work, snow removal, and standard-flow attachment work. Its radial lift is particularly useful for grading, digging, and pushing.
Used buyers still favor it for familiar controls, a compact working envelope, and Bobcat-compatible attachments. It offers more capacity than smaller legacy loaders while remaining manageable for farm and small-contractor applications.
Why the Bobcat 773 stands out
The 773 is notable for putting a 1,750 lb ROC and Kubota diesel power in a broadly supported package. Its used-market appeal comes from widespread service knowledge and attachment availability, but neglected hydrostatic or hydraulic repairs can be expensive.
Buying a used Bobcat 773
Test travel forward and reverse on both sides under load, then inspect the chaincase and axle-area seals for leakage or poor maintenance. Check lift-arm and quick-attach welds, pins and bushings, cylinder drift, hydraulic hoses, auxiliary flow, and tire wear; compare hour-meter readings with overall machine wear.
