Kubota V3307-DI-TE3 4-cylinder turbocharged liquid-cooled diesel engine with a
rated power of 70.3 hp (52.4 kW), and 1-speed or 2-speed hydrostatic
transmission. The hydraulic system has a pump with a rated capacity of 23
gal/min (87.1 l/min). The system pressure is 3550 psi (245 bar). The Bobcat S650
is equipped with hydraulic wet disc brakes and 12x16.5-12 tires. The skid steer
loader has a max lift height of 124" (3150 mm) to hinge pin and dump height of
96.3" (2445 mm). The rated operating capacity is 2690 lbs (1220 kg), and tipping
load is 5380 lbs (2440 kg).
