Bobcat 773 Specs: HP, Weight, Lift Capacity, and Parts

The Bobcat 773 is a versatile compact skid-steer loader produced from 1995 through 2003, with the G-Series variant running 1999 to 2002. It features a 46 to 56 HP Kubota diesel engine, approximately 1,700 to 1,850 lb rated operating capacity, and a 5,800 lb operating weight. The 773 is known for 7 mph travel speed and 27 GPM high-flow hydraulics on turbo variants, making it well suited to construction, landscaping, and small farming operations.

Bobcat 773 Quick Specs

• Engine: Kubota V2203 diesel (46 HP) or Kubota V2403-T turbo (56-60 HP on 773H-series)
• Operating weight: approximately 5,800 lb (2,630 kg)
• Rated operating capacity (ROC): 1,700-1,850 lb standard / 2,100 lb turbo
• Tipping load: 3,500-3,700 lb standard / 4,200 lb turbo
• Auxiliary hydraulic flow: 17 GPM standard / 27 GPM high-flow
• Travel speed: 7 mph
• Production years: 1995-2003 (G-Series: 1999-2002)

What Are the Complete Bobcat 773 Specs?

Beyond the headline numbers, the 773 carries a 20-gallon fuel tank, runs on standard 10x16.5 tires (12x16.5 optional for soft-surface work), and measures 68 inches wide with the standard bucket. Ground clearance is 8.3 inches. According to Bobcat's own non-current model documentation on bobcat.com, the 773 is categorized as a mid-size skid-steer loader between the 763 and the later S250.

The 27 GPM high-flow option on turbo variants is the feature that set the 773 apart in its era. It enables hydraulic attachments (planers, snow blowers, mulchers) that the standard-flow 763 cannot run effectively.

What Engine Is in the Bobcat 773?

Two Kubota diesel options across production years:

• 773 G-Series (1995-2002): Kubota V2203 naturally aspirated diesel, 46 HP at 2,800 RPM, 2.2L displacement
• 773H-Series Turbo (1998-2003): Kubota V2403-T turbocharged diesel, 56-60 HP depending on production year

Both engines share significant component commonality for filters, belts, and seals. The turbo adds the turbocharger assembly and a higher-capacity cooling circuit.

What's the Difference Between the 773 G-Series and H-Series (Turbo)?

Four main differences:

• Engine: 46 HP naturally aspirated (G) vs. 56-60 HP turbocharged (H)
• Lift capacity: 1,750 lb ROC (G) vs. 2,100 lb ROC (H)
• Hydraulic flow: 17 GPM standard (G) vs. 27 GPM high-flow (H)
• Cooling: higher-capacity radiator on the H-series for the turbo

Parts are NOT fully interchangeable between G and H variants. When ordering, specify G-Series or H-Series Turbo and confirm serial range.

How Much Does a Bobcat 773 Weigh?

Standard operating weight is approximately 5,800 lb (2,630 kg). This includes the empty weight plus operator and standard fuel load. Ship weight (dry, no operator, no bucket) runs closer to 5,400 lb. Trailer selection for transporting a 773 with a bucket requires a trailer rated for at least 7,000 lb GVWR to cover the machine plus attachment margin.

What Can a Bobcat 773 Lift?

Rated operating capacity (ROC) is calculated at 50 percent of tipping load per SAE J818 standard:

• 773 standard (G-Series): 1,700-1,850 lb ROC / 3,500-3,700 lb tipping load
• 773H turbo: 2,100 lb ROC / 4,200 lb tipping load

Always stay within ROC for safe flat-ground operation. Derate significantly for sloped or uneven ground.

What Years Was the Bobcat 773 Made?

Full production ran from 1995 through 2003. The G-Series (original platform) covered 1995 to 2002. The H-Series Turbo was introduced in 1998 and continued through 2003. The 773 was succeeded by the S250 on the M-Series platform.

What Replaced the Bobcat 773?

The Bobcat S250 replaced the 773 in 2003 as part of Bobcat's M-Series generation transition. The S250 shares the same size class and lift capacity range but uses a different platform, different cab design, and different part numbers. Parts are NOT interchangeable between the 773 and S250.

What Are the Most Common Bobcat 773 Parts to Replace?

Our parts specialists see consistent replacement patterns. The top five are hydraulic filters (every 500 hours), door glass (vibration-induced cracking), Bob-Tach lever springs (repeated attachment swap wear), alternator bearings on high-hour machines, and hydraulic cylinder seals on lift and tilt cylinders. None are difficult DIY jobs with the right tools.

How Do I Decode My Bobcat 773 Serial Number?

The 773 uses a 9-digit sequential serial format. G-Series serials start at 515411001 (1995). H-Series Turbo serials start in the 517000000 range. The first four digits identify the model and production run; the remaining five are sequential production numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight will a 773 Bobcat lift?

Rated operating capacity is 1,700-1,850 lb on the standard 773 (G-Series) and 2,100 lb on the 773H turbo. Tipping load is twice the ROC. Always stay within ROC for safe operation.

What is a Bobcat 773 worth?

Value depends on hours, condition, turbo vs. standard, and local market. For parts-sourcing purposes, a running 773 is worth maintaining because aftermarket parts cover nearly every wear category. Resale varies widely with machine hours.

What year was the Bobcat 773 made?

Production ran from 1995 through 2003. The G-Series covered 1995-2002. The H-Series Turbo ran 1998-2003. The 773 was succeeded by the S250.

Is a Bobcat 773 a good machine?

Yes. The 773 is widely considered one of the most reliable mid-size Bobcat skid steers of its era. The Kubota engines are durable, the hydraulic system is straightforward to service, and parts remain widely available more than 20 years after production ended.

What problems are common with a Bobcat 773?

Age-related issues rather than design flaws: hydraulic cylinder seal leaks, drive belt stretch, door glass cracking from vibration, Bob-Tach lever spring fatigue, and occasional alternator or starter failures on high-hour machines.

What is the Bobcat 773 lift capacity?

Rated operating capacity of 1,700-1,850 lb on the G-Series, 2,100 lb on the H-Series Turbo. Tipping load is 3,500-3,700 lb (G) or 4,200 lb (H).
