I think the 8M/SM11 might be outside the range for a common oxygen concentrator. The manufacturer doesn't post any information on the surface mix tips that I can find, but the SM11 has 18 fuel holes (0.020") and 25 oxygen holes (0.036"). Their multiport premix tips require 6-15 psi for oxygen at 12-25 CFM (roughly 6-13 LPM), orifice diameter 0.025" to 0.055". I know you can't make a direct comparison, but since the SM11 is in the middle of the range, I think it would require more than a relatively inexpensive oxygen concentrator will provide. Plus, the Bobcat has been tested on oxygen concentrators and is known to operate well ("very well" according to GTT) with a 5 LPM.
