Closing Recommendation
These machines are different sizes, so let access and load size decide, not the badge. Choose the Bobcat S70 when your work is inside compounds, buildings and narrow lanes where a bigger loader simply cannot enter, when you move the machine often and want the cheap, easy shift, and when a longer warranty gives you peace of mind on hard early use. Choose the Bull AV490 when you work on open yards, farms and plant sites where nothing blocks the way, when you need to lift about double the load and finish more per hour, and when joystick controls suit your drivers on long shifts. So match the machine to your work: Bobcat S70 for tight indoor access and easy shifting, Bull AV490 for open sites and heavier loads.
