S185 series

Anyone know what series the 2009 S185 is?

They didn't really have series like the f or g series machines. Very similar to a 773g series

I just bought a low hour 2009 but not sure of the HP. I haven't picked it up yet nor have I seen it. Best I can determine is that it may be an "M" series. The ones they have now are "M2". I've got an old brochure of the "K" series and it has the 56 HP engine. They now have 61 HP and a Doosan engine. This one is still the Kubota engine, just not sure of the HP.

Once you get the machine, grab the serial number and call bobcat support. They can tell you exactly the year, model, etc.

Go to Bobcats online parts diagrams, type in your serial number. Look at the cooling fan system. If it has a belt driven fan, it is a G-series. If it has a hydraulically driven fan, it is a K-series. I worked at a Bobcat dealer until 2009, and the only thing I remember from then was the fan changing. I'm sure there was more, but that is all I remember. I do know that when I left in 2009, all the new ones were K-series. But to be sure, look at a parts diagram and check out the fan.

A S185 could be a G Series, or a K series. The left hand panel is the deciding factor. Does it have (I) button? If not, it's a G series. If it does, it a K
