- currently 2008 JD X540. Looking at a JD 2305.
Have a 2004 S185 Bobcat. Just purchased. 900 hours.
Was out moving snow today. All of a sudden, no tilt.
I did not try the lift a this point. The lift/tilt light was off.
Have the deluxe cab. Right foot control pedal not moving.
Called the local Bobcat dealer. Said it was most likely the
lift/tilt actuator starting to go out. $400+. Said to shut the
machine down for a few minutes, then restart and things
should be fine. Did that, and it worked.
Is this a common problem and do I need to get this replaced
soon, or can I put it off for a while. Like, maybe spring after
the snow is gone.
