Acreage does not clear itself when overgrown. An inexperienced crew wastes days and uses fuel and leaves behind regrowth. If you are in a land clearing company, site preparation or land management for construction, you are quite aware of the importance of the machine.

That’s why lots of buyers are looking for a Bobcat T86 For Sale with a forestry mulcher already installed. A 2023 Bobcat T86 (Diamond Drum Mulcher DC Pro X) is listed for sale by U.S. heavy equipment supplier, Mico Equipment, in Houston, Texas for use by a buyer since 2008. Here you’ll find information on the specifications, jobs for this and who buys it, plus how much it can be used for compared to the new price.

Why Buyers Search for a Bobcat T86 for Sale with a Mulcher

When looking for a used Bobcat T86 for sale, most people have one of two issues. They are paying for subcontractors and rentals for work that they have the power to do in-house or their existing loader isn’t supplying enough hydraulic power to the heavy attachment.

A large frame compact track loader with a forestry mulcher does both. While one machine is carrying the attachment, a different machine will be clearing the brush and then going to the next. If you purchase both the loading arm and mulcher in one buying you will save yourself the frustration of looking for one that fits the other in the future.

Bobcat T86 Weight, Lift Capacity and Horsepower

Buyers often ask for the numbers first, so here they are. These are the base-model figures published by Bobcat for the T86. Actual numbers shift with options, counterweights and attachments, and a mulcher adds weight to the front of the machine.

Spec	Bobcat base-model figure
Bobcat T86 horsepower	105 hp
Bobcat T86 weight (operating weight)	12,393 lb
Bobcat T86 lift capacity (rated operating capacity)	3,800 lb
Tipping load	10,857 lb
Lift height to hinge pin	132 in.
Standard auxiliary flow	23.6 gal/min

Featuring selectable counterweights for increased rated operating capacity of 3,950 lb, 4,025 lb, 4,100 lb (based on counterweights added).

Rated operating capacity vs. tipping load

These are confused frequently among people. Tipping load is the weight when the back of the machine becomes off the ground. A fixed percentage of that tipping load is the rated operating capacity, which is a safer number to use. Plan around “rated” capacity, NOT ‘tipping’ load.

Is the Bobcat T86 a Skid Steer or a Compact Track Loader?

It’s a Bobcat T86 compact track loader. The track and field component of the event is referred to as the “T.” There is a matching S86 skid steer. There are numerous buyers still typing in Bobcat T86 skid steer for sale for Google to turn up, so you’ll find these two terms used interchangeably for the same family of machines.

Distribute weight over a large area for leverage and assist you in gripping on soft, uneven or wet terrain. In the case of land-clearing, that’s important. On terrain that wheels might dig in, Bobcat states that the T86 has a ground pressure of 4.8psi with rubber tracks.

Bobcat T86 with Diamond Drum Mulcher DC Pro X

This listing is unique because of the mulcher. This machine is equipped with a Diamond Drum Mulcher DC Pro X 72″ Drum Mulcher Cutting Width.

A drum mulcher can be used to mulch brush, small trees and overgrowth right on site. No cutting, stacking, hauling, and burning required. The importance of the T86 is that the purpose of using a mulcher is to maintain the drum rotating at steady hydraulic flow under load. With high-flow hydraulics, Bobcat is claiming this machine as the standard flow, high flow, and super flow model all in one loader. Always test for the compatibility of flow and pressure before purchasing any machine-and-attachment combination.

What Jobs Can You Do with a Bobcat T86 and Forestry Mulcher?

This is a good configuration for multiple types of jobs:

• Land clearing equipment use: Opening up lots that are wooded or overgrown using land clearing equipment.
• Brush clearing equipment use: Cutting back the thick undergrowth.
• Vegetation management: Dispose and mow fence lines, pipelines and utility corridors to maintain open areas.
• Right-of-way maintenance.
• They can also provide guidance on acreage and property maintenance.
• Construction site preparation.

Please note that the results are dependent on the material, terrain, attachment setup and the operating conditions. Mulcher is good for smaller trees and brush on a compact track loader. Does not work well on every large timber application.

Who Buys a Used Bobcat T86, and Why?

Typical purchasers include land clearing contractors, forestry and vegetation management firms, utility companies and right-of-way workers, ranch and large property owners, and general contractors seeking to avoid rental payments. These buyers want a machine that will operate a heavy attachment during the day and are less interested in money spent per showroom finish.

When it comes to used versus new, it’s all about the money. Bobcat’s U.S. price for the new T86 is roughly $121,348 for the base machine, not the attachments. Only the wait for a new order will be avoided with a used mulcher that has an existing mulcher attached. The used Bobcat T86 price is around $89,000 to $102,500 dependent on the hours, condition and inclusions of the machine, so the best way to determine the price is to request a quote on the specific machine.

What to Check Before Buying a Used Bobcat T86

Whichever machine you buy, look at these points:

• Engine and hydraulic condition
• Track and undercarriage wear
• Hydraulic flow and how the attachment runs
• Mulcher drum, teeth and rotor condition
• Hoses and couplers
• Cab, controls and display
• Service records and Bobcat T86 machine hours
