Bobcat S590 vs JCB SSL 155: Which Skid Steer Loader Should You Buy?

The Bobcat S590 carries a stronger engine, a higher lift capacity and a longer warranty, so it suits buyers who want more muscle and more cover for heavier daily work. The JCB SSL 155 is built around fuel efficiency, with a slightly higher pump flow and more ground clearance, so it suits buyers watching daily running cost closely on lighter material handling jobs. Both machines work well for loading, clearing and site cleanup tasks in tight spaces.

For a fleet owner, the Bobcat's longer 2-year warranty means fewer worries about early repair costs across many machines. For an owner-operator or small contractor, the JCB's lower fuel use keeps daily running cost down over time.
