The U.S. skid steer market has another international player: Bull India.
The OEM’s new 74-horsepower skid steer delivers a rated operating capacity of 2,969 pounds, bucket capacity of 15.5 cubic feet and an operating weight of 9,418 pounds.
The AV740's vertical-lift arm path, according to Bull India, provides extended reach at full height, improved lift capacity and better balance.
Bull India is stepping into a market already dominated by big players. According to data from EDA, 9,819 new financed skid steers were sold in the U.S. in 2025. Among those sold, nearly 80% were models from Bobcat, Kubota, Caterpillar and John Deere. (EDA is owned by Fusable, parent company of Equipment World.)
The AV740’s hydraulic pump is directly engaged by the engine, which Nizar Kasim, who heads up Bull India’s service and technical support, says reduces the amount of power lost between the two systems. With its high-flow option and standard auxiliary hydraulic line, the skid steer can be paired with buckets, cold planers, trenchers and other attachments.
Operators get an adjustable air-suspension seat and a dual joystick control layout. The safety bar, when lifted, disables the loader’s movement and attachment hydraulic system and activates the parking brake.
Powered byThe in-cab monitor accesses information on fuel, temperature, rpms and engine hours and displays the feed from the standard rear camera.
The AV740 comes standard with Bull’s Smooth Rider System, which Kasim says reduces rider movement when driving on roads.
Available options on the AV740 include:
- HVAC
- Beacon light
- Two-speed drive mode
- Heavy duty bucket of 20.5 cubic feet
- Reversible cutting edge
- Telematics hardware
- Self-leveling

This is our bull AV1 40 model machine. So we are now we are going to launch in US market two.
00:00:09:11 - 00:00:37:21
Nizar Kasim
So it comes mainly with the engine is it's an 74 horsepower engine we are providing. And the major and the bucket size is 0.44 bucket we are providing. And also we have the option for the 0.58 cubic capacity buckets. So this is our cabin. So so I can get inside.
00:00:37:24 - 00:01:01:29
Nizar Kasim
So safety bar. And we are providing the joystick models and the right hand joystick for the traction and the left hand joystick for the hydraulic operations. So for the these machines we are providing with a Coleman models and proven hydraulic system company. And we are providing Coleman Tantum pump and the pump. We are directly engaging with the engine.
00:01:01:29 - 00:01:31:20
Nizar Kasim
So it is reducing the power loss through the in between the system. So that is the major advantage. And we are giving with the high flow option. And we can attach multiple types of bucket including coal planner or trencher. Likewise major applications attachments we can use. And we are providing the attachment extra line as default. So the customer no need to pay additionally or after using standard bucket, even standard bucket or attachment buckets.
00:01:31:21 - 00:01:58:13
Nizar Kasim
The default axillary line we are providing with the H machine. So yes, and we have the digital display here so we can access the display. So all related fuel temperature RPM our meter, everything we can show in the digital display. And the one more advantage for this model machine is the reverse camera. So we are providing with the reverse camera.
00:01:58:13 - 00:02:35:00
Nizar Kasim
So when the operator is going backward so he can see the reverse works on the camera itself, he no need to look at the back side or something when he is going to reverse. It is a major advantage with this mission and we are giving with the both options either AC air conditioner and without air conditioner models missions we are providing and these machines comes with the SRS Smooth Rider Control system so that while running, the machine moves on the road or on the highways, so it will reduce the jumping of the machine.
00:02:35:00 - 00:03:03:07
Nizar Kasim
So. So that we called smooth rider system, so that we are providing with this mission and additional feature is available the self leveling. So it is a continuous operation of the machine. So he can the operator no need to worry about the position of the bucket. So when he is lifting it will come on the level itself. So just he can operate the machine without checking the level of the bucket, and it is not going to fall down while working itself.
00:03:03:10 - 00:03:29:10
Nizar Kasim
Yes. So and about technical if I am coming to the technical side. So this is a chain drive type machine and we are giving it a 10.6 model tires. So this is our engine part and the radiator is on our top side. And the engine is we are using Kubota 74 hp horsepower engine. So the axis of the in part of service side.
00:03:29:10 - 00:03:52:23
Nizar Kasim
So the accessibility of the filters related to the hydraulic system or engine system is an more easier for the after sales team for the service, for the replacement of the filter, there is no much, and we have the enough space for the axis of each filters, and this is the radiator we can access. So if any the accessing system.
00:03:52:23 - 00:04:27:17
Nizar Kasim
Also it is good when we are. If your service team want to access for any replacement of any kind of parts, we have the enough space to access engine side or the hydraulic side and if any movement. So the cabin also we can able to lift it to access the hydraulic system or tandem pump over the machine. So the part of the technical side, if performance related and the service side, it is more comfortable for the operator and the customers about the machine.
00:04:27:23 - 00:04:50:29
Nizar Kasim
So the mainly these machines are using for the construction areas. So where the bigger machines can enter for the construction works or loading works. So these machines is useful for that. And some kind of factories can use this machine to run over the floor and different types of tires. This is the tubeless tire we are providing and rigid tires.
00:04:50:29 - 00:05:09:15
Nizar Kasim
Also we can able to provide for the asphalt surfaces. So it will reduce the tire of the tire and the life will get more. So that kind of additional different tread and tire sizes we can able to provide based on the applications recommended by the customer or our dealers.
