Bobcat S590 vs MANITOU 1340R: Which Skid Steer Loader to Buy?

A skid steer is bought to do many small jobs that a big machine cannot reach, and to change tools quickly. The tables below carry the full numbers. The Bobcat S590 has more engine power and lifts a heavier load, so it handles material handling and loading work with more strength. The MANITOU 1340R is the more compact machine and meets stricter emission rules, which helps inside sheds, plants and closed yards.

Decide by the tools you will fit, not by the loader alone. Most owners buy a skid steer for the sweeper, breaker, auger, grab or trencher that goes on the front, and that is where the earning comes from. Ask each dealer which attachments are available in India, what they cost, and how quickly they arrive. Then check your working space. See the Bobcat skid steer range or the wider skid steer loader range, and read our skid steer loader guide.

Bobcat S590 Skid Steer Loader

Pros:

Higher engine power of 69 HP results in strong performance
Greater rated operating capacity of 907 kg means heavier lifting
Larger fuel tank of 93.70 L for extended operation times
Higher operating weight of 3069 Kg for increased stability during lifting
A higher dump height of 2319 mm makes unloading into trucks and bins more efficient

Cons:

Heavier operating weight could limit access to tighter spaces
Potentially less fuel-efficient than the MANITOU 1340R due to higher engine horsepower
Relatively wider structure, which may affect maneuverability in compact areas

MANITOU 1340R Skid Steer Loader

Pros:

Smaller and more compact size with an overall length of 2952 mm allows for better maneuverability
Lower machine weight ranging from 2200 to 2700 kg can access tight spaces more easily
Stage V water-cooled engine type indicates advanced environmental compliance
Better minimum ground clearance of 211 mm for improved terrain handling
Greater departure angle of 29° aids in better maneuverability over uneven terrain

Cons:

Lower engine power at 49 HP might not be suitable for more demanding tasks
Reduced rated operating capacity at 612 kg, limiting the material handling capability
Smaller fuel tank capacity of 47 L could mean more frequent refueling stops
Shorter warranty period of 1 yr. might concern some users for longevity and costs

Closing Recommendation

Both loaders do many small jobs well, so choose by the weight you lift and the space you work in. Choose the Bobcat S590 when you load trucks, move heavy material in an open yard, or run heavier attachments all day, and you want the extra engine power and lift capacity to do it. Choose the MANITOU 1340R when your work is inside sheds, factories and closed yards where a compact machine and a cleaner engine rating matter more than raw lifting strength. So match the machine to your work: Bobcat S590 for heavy loading and attachment work, MANITOU 1340R for tight indoor and plant jobs.
