Bobcat S450 vs Manitou 1340R: Which One Should You Buy?

Both machines have almost the same engine power. They lift about the same weight too. The tables below give you all the numbers. The real question is which one is right for your work. The Bobcat S450 is a little heavier. So it stands more steady when you lift a full bucket. Many people know the Bobcat name. So it is easy to find drivers and easy to sell later. The Manitou 1340R is a little lighter and turns in a smaller space. It is a good choice for tight sites, city work, and narrow lanes.

Before you buy, think about a few simple things. Is there a service centre near you for the machine you pick? Can you get spare parts fast in your area? Can you pay the loan easily every month? Will it be easy to sell after some years? These things matter more than a small number on paper. You can read our skid steer loader buying guide and see all models on the skid steer loader page.

Bobcat S450 Skid Steer Loader

Pros:

Kubota 49 HP engine with 149.8 Nm torque offers robust performance
Higher maximum pump flow of 63.21 L/min for effective hydraulics
Wider dump height of 2157 mm facilitating better unloading
Larger fuel tank capacity of 54.50 L allows longer operation times
Greater operating weight of 2365 kg for stability in lifting and loading tasks

Cons:

Slightly lower maximum speed of 11.4 km/h
Narrower bucket width of 1575 mm
Shorter wheelbase which might affect stability
Lesser rollback angle at ground level (28°)

MANITOU 1340R Skid Steer Loader

Pros:

Stage V compliant Yanmar engine offering efficiency
Higher rollback angle at full height (99°) for better material retention
Smaller turning radius of 1758 mm for better maneuverability
Lower minimum ground clearance of 211 mm for better stability
More compact length aiding in tight spaces operation

Cons:

Lower operating weight range of 2200-2700 kg may affect lifting capacity
Lesser pump flow capacity of 63.4 L/min compared to Bobcat S450
Smaller fuel tank of 47 L could mean more frequent refueling
Lower dump angle of 42° may restrict effective unloading

Closing Recommendation

If your work is on tight sites with narrow lanes and many turns, the Manitou 1340R is the right pick — just check that its service and spare parts are easy to get near you. If your work needs a machine that stays steady and runs long hours every day, the Bobcat S450 fits that job, and its well-known name makes finding drivers and selling later simple. So match the machine to your work: Bobcat S450 for steady, long daily work, Manitou 1340R for tight and narrow sites.

Frequently Asked Question

Ans.

The Bobcat S450 is usually easier to sell. Bobcat is a very well known name in India. More people look for it when they buy a used machine. So you can sell it faster and get a fair price. The Manitou 1340R also sells, but fewer people search for it. If an easy sale later is important to you, the Bobcat is the safer choice.

Ans.

Bobcat has more service points in India, so parts and repair help are often closer. Check first if there is a Bobcat or Manitou service centre near your town before you buy. Ask other owners in your area which brand they use. A machine that breaks down and waits ten days for a part costs you money. Nearby service matters more than a few extra numbers on paper.

Ans.

Both machines have almost the same engine power, so daily fuel use is close. The Bobcat has a bigger fuel tank. So you fill it less often in a long work day. The lighter Manitou can use a little less fuel on light jobs. For most buyers the difference is small. Good driving and regular service save you more fuel than the machine you pick.

Ans.

The Manitou 1340R is better for tight and narrow places. It is lighter and turns in a smaller space. This helps in city work, inside sheds, and in narrow lanes. The Bobcat is a little bigger and needs more room to turn. If most of your work is in open yards or farms, the extra size is not a problem.

Ans.

The Bobcat S450 is more steady with a full bucket. It is a little heavier, so it stays firm when you lift high. This helps when you load trucks or lift heavy material. The Manitou can also do this work well, but the driver should go a bit slower with a full load. For heavy daily lifting, many buyers like the steady feel of the Bobcat.

Ans.

Yes, very easily. Banks, finance companies, and dealers all give loans for these machines. How much you pay each month depends on your down payment and your loan record. Ask two or three lenders before you decide. Do not take the first EMI offer. A small change in the loan can save you a lot over the years.
