Used the Bobcat S70 for a week on a landscaping task. It’s agile-worked wonders in limited spaces. Lifted heavy materials well, though not the best for larger projects. Easy to operate. Maintenance seems straightforward, but there's no noticeable improvement in noise insulation compared to previous models.

Ran the E26 for a couple days at a landscaping site. It's light, easy to get onto a smaller trailer, but don't expect loads of muscle either. I liked that it's not too complicated-jump in and you're good to go, none of that annoying computer stuff that's starting to show up everywhere now. Foot pedals are a bit cramped, I'm not a fan but it's nothing I can't put up with. No leaks or breakdowns so reliability gets a pass. Not sure about long-term service, didn't get into that. I did like the visibility, just wish that seat moved back a little more. Works for digging around fences and tight spots.

I found the Bobcat S70 quite useful for its compact size, especially when I needed to access areas with limited space. The engine performance is decent, though it did feel a bit strained under heavier loads. Maintenance is straightforward since service points are easily reachable, a big plus when time matters. Maneuverability is fairly good, yet operating in rugged terrains revealed some lack of stability that could use improvement.

I've had my hands on a bunch of these older Bobcats and honestly, this S185 is fine for small jobs and stuff around the property. The hours are low cause the last owners barely used it, but even so, there's starting to be a little wear. Noticed the tires are pretty cooked and the buckets could use some love. I do like how you get all the info on that digital dash, it's kinda cool to see what’s going on without guessing. Operation is simple enough, no weird quirks so far. Not super fancy inside but that's normal. Wouldn't call it the most comfortable after a couple hours but it never broke down on me yet. Parts seem okay to get if you need 'em.
