It has a rated operating capacity of 3,000 pounds, and is powered by a 105-hp Perkins 1004.40T turbo-charged diesel engine that delivers plenty of extra muscle.

You can count on a variety of quick-mounting attachments. In fact, when properly equipped, the 963* loader can run the same high-flow attachments as the Bobcat 863H. Other attachments include the 811 backhoe, 6B landscape rake, 72-inch sweeper and 68-inch rotary tiller.

Built-In Safety.

The 963 gives you the latest in safety technology — the Bobcat Interlock Control System (BICS™). This exclusive feature requires that the operator be seated in the loader with the seat bar down in place and the engine running before the hydraulic lift and tilt and traction drive system can be operated.

Exclusive Bob-Tach System.

®

For fast, secure attachment changes. Bob-Tach frame (A) moves into attachment flange (B); handle (C) pushes down easily, pressing wedge (D) through frame and attachment hole for solid connection.

Adjustment Not Needed.

The Bobcat “bow-tie” drive chain design uses pre-stressed, heavy-duty drive chains in two short continuous loops on each side. That means no periodic, time-consuming adjustments, plus long life even in the most rugged conditions.

Clean Cooling.

Belt Drive Advantage.

The exclusive Bobcat dual path cooling system brings clean, cool air from above, through the oil cooler and radiator, mixes it with engine compartment air, then exhausts it out two side vents.

The Bobcat belt drive advantage means Bobcat loader engines can be run slower, resulting in a quieter machine that lasts longer and uses less fuel. This system also maximizes pump efficiency and minimizes steering lever effort.

Bearing Grease?

Forget It! Self-lubricating axle bearings never need greasing. The unique hub design offers great seal protection.

Operator Training.

A training kit, available through your Bobcat dealer’s parts department, lets you train new operators and bring current operators up-to-date on the latest safety and operation functions on Bobcat skid-steer loaders.

A Spanish language version is also available.
