Bobcat T190 Specs and Dimensions

Bobcat T190 specs hold four constants across every Bobcat document: a 1,900 lb rated operating capacity, a vertical lift path to a 118.2 in hinge pin, 66 in of width over standard tracks and a 76.3 in cab height. Power and weight changed by version, from 56 hp and 7,244 lb to 66 hp and 7,775 lb.

What You Need to Know

• Machine: Bobcat T190 compact track loader, a G-Series design built from 2001 until Bobcat replaced it with the M-Series T590, announced in October 2012.
• Lift: 1,900 lb rated operating capacity in every version, with a vertical lift path and a 118.2 in hinge pin height.
• Engine: a 56 hp Kubota V2003T on early machines, a 66 hp gross (61 hp net) Kubota V2403 on the 2008 machine, and 66 hp on the later Interim Tier 4 version.
• Size: 101.9 in long without an attachment, 66.0 in wide over 12.6 in tracks and 76.3 in to the top of the cab.
• Hydraulics: 16.3 to 16.9 gpm of standard auxiliary flow, with a 25.5 to 27 gpm high-flow option, depending on the version.
• Weight: 7,244 lb, 7,612 lb or 7,775 lb, depending on the version.

What Are the Bobcat T190's Key Specs?

Bobcat's non-current model page lists the T190 in three versions: a 2004 listing, a 2008 listing and a later Interim Tier 4 version that Bobcat does not date. The 2004 figures match Bobcat's 2001 G-Series brochure, and the 2008 figures match Bobcat's June 2008 T190 spec sheet.

Hinge pin height (118.2 in), cab height (76.3 in), width over standard tracks (66.0 in) and length with a standard bucket (130.3 in) are the same in every column. The early machine's high-flow rating is 27 gpm in the brochure and 26.4 gpm on Bobcat's page, so expect to see either figure.

Which Bobcat T190 Do You Have?

Bobcat sold the T190 as a G-Series compact track loader. When Bobcat announced the M-Series T590 in October 2012, trade press reported that it would replace the K-Series T180 and T190, so you will see both series names on used listings. The T190 itself was never an M-Series machine.

• 56 hp, Kubota V2003T: the original G-Series spec in Bobcat's 2001 brochure, which Bobcat's page lists as the 2004 T190.
• 66 hp, Kubota V2403, Tier 2: the machine in Bobcat's June 2008 spec sheet and in the Operation & Maintenance Manual for S/N 531711001 and above, first published in December 2005.
• 66 hp, Interim Tier 4: the last version on Bobcat's page, at 7,775 lb. Bobcat does not name its engine or give a year.

The serial number settles it. The manual places the serial plate on the outside of the loader frame: the first four digits identify the model and engine combination, and the last five give the production sequence. Our guide to finding the serial number on a Bobcat compact track loader shows where to look, and the manual warns that early and later models may use different parts.

How Much Can a Bobcat T190 Lift?

Every T190 carries a 1,900 lb (862 kg) rated operating capacity (ROC), the figure on the cab decal. It stayed the same between versions even though the published tipping load rose.

Bobcat's 2001 brochure rates the ROC under SAE J818 at no more than 35% of tipping load, and 1,900 lb is exactly 35% of 5,430 lb. The 2008 spec sheet measures tipping load under ISO 14397-1 and keeps the ROC at 1,900 lb. Listings that quote 3,426 or 3,642 lb are showing the 50% figure, not the rated capacity.

• Lift breakout force: 4,700 lb (2008 spec sheet).
• Tilt breakout force: 4,450 lb.
• Cycle times: raise 3.7 s, lower 2.4 s, dump 2.4 s, rollback 1.9 s.
• Wide track option: raises the 2008 machine's operating weight to 7,934 lb.

The manual bases the ROC on a standard dirt bucket and material of normal density, and notes that a longer bucket moves the load center forward and reduces it. For pallet forks, the maximum load is on a decal on the fork frame.

What Are the Bobcat T190's Dimensions?

Bobcat's June 2008 spec sheet measures the T190 on standard 12.6 in tracks with a standard dirt bucket. A different bucket changes the length, reach and dump figures.

The early T190 in Bobcat's 2001 brochure shares these main dimensions but lists 29.6 in of reach at maximum height instead of 30.9 in. When you measure a gate or trailer, use the 68 in width over the bucket, not the 66 in track width.

Is the Bobcat T190 Radial or Vertical Lift?

Vertical. Bobcat's 2001 brochure says the T190's vertical lift path "provides excellent reach and 1,900 pounds of lift." Some listings describe it as radius lift, which does not match Bobcat's documents.

• Hinge pin: 118.2 in at full height in every version.
• Reach at maximum height: 30.9 in (2008 spec sheet) or 29.6 in (2001 brochure).
• Dump height: 91.0 in with the standard bucket, at a 42 degree dump angle.
• Rollback: 95 degrees fully raised and 25 degrees at the carry position.

Bobcat describes a vertical path as giving more reach at full lift height than a radius path, which makes it easier to clear high-sided truck boxes and hoppers. Launch coverage in 2001 described the T190 as based on Bobcat's 773 skid steer.

How Much Horsepower Does a Bobcat T190 Have?

Between 56 and 66 hp, depending on the version. All three are turbocharged, liquid-cooled four-cylinder diesels:

• Early G-Series: Kubota V2003T-EB, 2.0 L (122 cu in), 56.0 hp SAE net, per Bobcat's 2001 brochure.
• 2008 machine: Kubota V2403 turbo diesel, 66 hp SAE gross and 61 hp SAE net at 2,700 rpm, with 155.6 ft-lb of net torque at 1,475 rpm. The S/N 531711001 manual lists its displacement as 2,433 cc (2.4 L).
• Interim Tier 4 version: 66 hp. Bobcat's page does not name the engine.

The 2008 spec sheet prints 158.7 cu in (2.6 L) for the V2403, which does not match its own bore and stroke, so go by the manual's 2.4 L. Bobcat's testing put fuel use at 2.08 gal per hour in high duty cycle digging. Before ordering engine parts, read the engine serial number, which the manual places on the side of the engine above the oil filter.

What Hydraulic Flow and Pressure Does the T190 Have?

Standard auxiliary flow runs from 16.3 to 16.9 gpm across the three versions, supplied by an engine-driven gear pump. High flow was a factory option. Figures below are from the 2008 spec sheet unless noted.

• Standard flow: 16.3 gpm, or 16.7 gpm in the 2001 brochure and 16.9 gpm on the Interim Tier 4 version.
• High flow: 25.5 gpm, or 26.4 to 27 gpm on early machines and 26.4 gpm on the Interim Tier 4 version.
• Relief pressure: 3,250 to 3,350 psi at the quick couplers.
• Control valve: three-spool, open center, with float detent on lift and an electrically controlled auxiliary spool.
• Hydraulic filter: full flow, 3 micron synthetic media.

The drive is fully hydrostatic, with tandem piston pumps driving two drive motors, and the spec sheet calls for Bobcat hydraulic/hydrostatic fluid. It states that motor oil is not an acceptable alternative. Our guide on when to replace a Bobcat hydraulic filter covers the warning signs.

What Tracks Does the T190 Use, and How Fast Is It?

Standard tracks are 12.6 in (320 mm) rubber on every version, tensioned by a grease cylinder and spring, with 55.2 in of track on the ground.

Bobcat's 2008 documents list the wide option as both 15.8 in and 16 in. The 2001 brochure offered 17.7 in tracks on the T200 only, so an early T190 runs on 12.6 in tracks.

Every T190 is single speed: 7.1 mph in the 2001 brochure and the 2008 spec sheet, and 7.3 mph on the Interim Tier 4 version. No Bobcat T190 document we found lists a two-speed option.

What Are the T190's Fluid Capacities?

Bobcat's June 2008 spec sheet gives these capacities. The early machine's fuel tank holds 26.8 gal, and the 2001 brochure does not list its other capacities.

Coolant is a 53/47 propylene glycol and water mix with freeze protection to -34°F. For other machines, see our Bobcat fluid capacities and service specs by model.

Which Filters and Service Parts Fit the Bobcat T190?

The Regular Maintenance Items list in the T190 Operation & Maintenance Manual for S/N 531711001 and above gives these Bobcat part numbers. Each is available as an aftermarket replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications, and each listing shows fitment for the T190:

• Engine oil filter 6675517: Engine Oil Filter, replacement for Bobcat 6675517
• Fuel filter 6667352: Fuel Filter with Water Separator, replaces Bobcat 6667352
• Outer air filter 6598492: Outer Air Filter, replacement for Bobcat 6598492
• Inner air filter 6598362: Inner Air Filter, replacement for Bobcat 6598362
• Hydrostatic filter 6661248: Hydraulic Oil Filter, replaces Bobcat 6661248
• In-line hydrostatic filter 6661022: In-Line Hydraulic Filter, replacement for Bobcat 6661022

The 2008 spec sheet says the rear door opens up the air cleaner, engine oil and fuel filters, dipstick, battery, and fuel and hydraulic fills, and that the tip-up cab gives access to certain hydraulic components. Relieve hydraulic pressure and let the machine cool before you open the hydraulic system, and consult a certified mechanic for hydraulic or engine repairs.

Based on our catalog data, the oil and air filter listings also name the T180 and the 773 skid steer, so a mixed fleet can often share filter stock. Our guide to cross-referencing Bobcat oil filters explains supersessions. Part numbers can change by serial number, so send your serial number and the OEM number to sales@partsonline.com and we will check fitment, or browse every listing in Bobcat compact track loader parts.

How Does the T190 Compare to the T590 That Replaced It?

Bobcat announced the M-Series T590 in October 2012 as the T190's replacement. Here is how Bobcat's spec pages compare the last T190 with the T590:

The T590 kept the vertical lift path and the 66 hp rating, and added 200 lb of rated capacity and a two-speed option of 10.4 mph on its Tier 4 builds. If you run both, check each part number separately: the T190's air filters, for example, are not listed for the T590 in our catalog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Bobcat T190 a good machine?

It is a compact, vertical-lift track loader rated at 1,900 lb, with a 118.2 in hinge pin and a 66 in width on standard tracks, and its routine filters are still easy to source. Judge an individual machine on its hours, service records, tracks and undercarriage, and any play in the lift arm and Bob-Tach pivots.

How much is a Bobcat T190 worth?

Value depends on hours, condition, which version it is, track and undercarriage wear, and options such as a cab or high flow. Recent sales of comparable machines or a dealer appraisal are the reliable guides; we sell T190 parts, not machines.

How much can a T190 lift?

Bobcat rates every T190 at 1,900 lb rated operating capacity. Its published tipping load is 5,430 lb, 6,851 lb or 7,283 lb depending on the version, and the higher figures some listings quote are 50% of tipping load, not the rating.

How old is a Bobcat T190?

The T190 appears in Bobcat's 2001 brochure and was replaced by the M-Series T590, announced in October 2012. Even the newest T190s are more than a decade old, so read the serial number to pin down yours.

How much horsepower does a Bobcat T190 have?

Early T190s have a 56 hp Kubota V2003T. The 2008 machine's Kubota V2403 makes 66 hp gross and 61 hp net, and the later Interim Tier 4 version is rated at 66 hp.

Is there a Bobcat T190 specs PDF?

Bobcat published a T190 spec sheet dated June 25, 2008, and a 2001 G-Series brochure covering the T190 and T200. The Specifications section of your Operation & Maintenance Manual, issued by serial range, is the authority for your machine.

What are the specs of a 2007 Bobcat T190?

Bobcat does not publish T190 specs by model year. Its June 2008 spec sheet and the manual for S/N 531711001 and above, first published in December 2005, describe the 66 hp Kubota V2403 machine at 7,612 lb, so confirm your serial number before you rely on those figures.
