I see there's 2 wire terminals that are just above the area where the rear hydro lines go. Is this to plug in a rear light? There are exposed terminals that look like bullet connectors.

Did anyone out there order a machine C225, C230, C235 size earlier in the year with the Deluxe package? What did the deluxe package contain? I'm under the impression that the deluxe package contained loader joystick, mid PTO and some other items?

I'm about to take delivery of a C230. The dealer quoted me the deluxe package on the sales contract which is no longer available. Hence I want to ensure they will be delivering a comparable machine.

Thanks,

I need your input/advice. I'm going to TSC for a 7' landscrape rake. I am also going to get a Box Blade, and a Finish Mower. Here's where I need advice. I can't decide if I should get the 5' or 6' KK (countyline) BB. Bobcat spec says the CT235 can handle a 6' BB, anyone using one? The other issue is that they have a older (but new) Caroni 5' FM for $1,150.00 or a NEW KK 6' FM for $1,500.00. I really want a 6' mower since I already have a 54" deck on my Cub Mower. But is the extra foot worth the additional $350.00? That could start my savings account for the tiller I want to get for next year..

Thanks for your suggestions. :confused: ]]> Bobcat Tractors rossgtn http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/bobcat-tractors/157197-advice-new-toys.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/bobcat-tractors/156838-b100t-rear-end-trouble.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:21:04 GMT I bought a B100 turbo loader and backhoe from a fleet dealer with 480 hours on the machine.

After about 6 months, it quit moving, wound up being the rear end gears. Rebuilt it myself, pinion and ring gear kit was about 1300.00, a lot for two gears. Now, about 140 hours later, the gears have broken again. I have been careful to accelerate and decelerate slowly so it doesn't jerk and haven't really abused it at all. Is my tractor a lemon, or is this something Bobcats have a weakness for? I can't afford to rebuild it every couple years at 1300.00 a pop, which seems excessive for the two gears and an assortment of shims and bearings. ]]> Bobcat Tractors denerod http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/bobcat-tractors/156838-b100t-rear-end-trouble.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/bobcat-tractors/156611-ct120-power-take-off-gear.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:06:25 GMT Is my CT120 PTO gear driven or hydraulic??

I would like to remove the fel when hogging, bladeing, etc. I looked at the Bobcat front bracket and suitcase weights ($$$ ouch - 500.00). Has anyone bought the BC bracket/weights? If so, can you take the weights off and leave the bracket on with the fel attached? It looks like a tight fit. If not, what have you done to put on front weight when the fel is removed?

I have a Bobcat CT235. I received in Sept. and have about 25 hours. It has been great so far. But -

A few days ago, the tractor wouldn't start ... sounded like a dead battery. I just got that horrible "clicking" noise and the engine didn't turn over. I jumped the tractor and it started right up. I mowed for about 3 hours and parked.

The next day the tractor wouldn't start again ... just clicked.

So, I called the dealer and they came out and checked everything over and concluded the battery was bad. They said the alternator is fine and all fuses are fine. They still charged $100 for a service call which I'm not particularly happy about.

Anyone else have an issue with their battery going bad so fast?

Thanks. ]]> Bobcat Tractors MoKelly http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/bobcat-tractors/156368-battery.html http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/bobcat-tractors/156349-rear-remote-prices.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:11:56 GMT How much is everyone getting rear remotes installed for?
