The Bobcat 863 Skid Steer Loader supports a versatile lineup of attachments, making it a reliable machine for a wide range of applications – from construction and landscaping to snow removal and agriculture. Designed with powerful hydraulics and a vertical lift path, the 863 is compatible with both standard and hydraulically driven tools.

Available attachments include essentials like buckets, pallet forks, and augers, as well as more specialized tools such as stump grinders, trenchers, and graders. High-demand attachments like the snowblower, angle broom, and soil conditioner require the optional Attachment Control Kit for full functionality. This versatility allows the Bobcat 863 to tackle nearly any task on the jobsite.
