How to Lift the Seat on a S160 Bobcat

The Bobcat S160 skid-steer loader is an excavator ideal for loading and grading in landscaping and other construction projects. The small size and mobility of the Bobcat S160 allows it to work in smaller confines than a backhoe or larger tractor. The Bobcat S160 has optional comfort features not found in other Bobcat models, such as heating/air conditioning, radio capability and an adjustable seat. You can lift the seat on a S160 Bobcat to adjust to your weight and comfort when driving the Bobcat.
