A month or so back, I had been mowing w. my CT230. I decided to was the finish mower off then decided to was the tractor off. After I washed the tractor, I jumped on, started her up and moved the tractor about 50 feet so I could finish cleaning up. At that point I hopped back on the tractor...

I have a John Deere 494 planter that I had hoped to recondition and use for food plotting, but I just don't have the time, tools or skills to get this done. I'm curious what the value of a 494 4 row planter would be. It obviously needs some work, but it's all there. I guess you would consider...

I have a Bobcat CT230 compact tractor with a 3 cylinder diesel engine. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. We haven't had much snow this year, so I haven't had much use for my tractor this winter, but over the weekend I used it a couple times. I knew I was getting low on...

I also have this posted in the Bobcat forum, but figures my brothers in the Kioti family might have some insight as well since these are basically the same machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been using my Bobcat CT230 without issue for quite some time. I mowed about 2 weeks...

I've been using my CT230 without issue for quite some time. I mowed about 2 weeks ago without issues. After I was done I parked it and we left for vacation. This evening I was going to mow, but I can't get it to crank at all. When I turn the key half way, you can hear the snap of the...

I'm hoping for a simple fix. I was digging out some tree roots, and realized the my curl down function quite working properly. It only had a very slight amount of travel before the valve went over relief. I can't seem to figure out. I took the pin out of the barrel end of both cylinders and...

I was given this planter. I know it needs some work, but free is free. I plan on using it for planting soybeans and corn in my food plots. I have to get a new tire and it is missing the hydraulic cylinder. I'm just not sure what model it is, and I can't locate a serial number plate or any...

Here's a direct link to my photo album of this years food plot project. The plot turned out great, but the deer haven't really even turned onto it. I believe our weather has had a huge impact, with warmer than normal temps and we have only had 2 very light snows. Anyway, just thought I'd...

I am looking at getting a 2 or 3 row planter to go behind my Bobcat CT230. I have found several online that have been converted to a 3pt style set up. I am a complete Novice at planting, so I'm looking for advice and knowledge. What is the difference between the Series 71 planters and the7100...

This is the first year that I am attempting to put in a food plot for deer hunting. I have selected an area that is a little over 1/4th of an acre, and am planning on putting in Evolved harvest Mega Plot seed, and maybe a couple strips of Whitetail Institutes Tall Tine Tubers. I have cleared...

Does anyone have any experience with these. From the best I can tell, the one I am looking at is a model C2560. It's a 5' tiller and seems to be build very heavily. It has 6 flanges w. 4 tines each. It is chain drive. It has a 7 1/2" offset, it weighs 517 lbs. It comes w. a New PTO shaft...

I just found out that KC Bobcat is no longer selling or supporting the Compact Tractor line. They are the dealer I purchased my CT230 from about 2 years ago. They referred me to Kansas Golf & Turf. He said the reason they decided to discontinue selling the compact tractors was due to the need...

Well, everything had been going great with my CT230, until I tried to start her up on Saturday. When I turned the key, the tractor made some strange noises and the lights on the dash were dim and flickering. So, I figured the battery must have been run down, so I went to put the charger on it...

With all the talk of people having some issues with their Bobcat tractor, I just wanted to give them some praise. It started snowing here friday night, and snowed through the night and into saturday. It was that really we and heavy snow with the temp just barely below freezing. Along with the...

Ok, Here is the Mantenance Schedule right out of the manual for my CT230. The manual says for serial numbers A59C11001 & Above. Maybe the older manuals were different, but mine clearly stated the Hydraulic fluid is good for the first 400 hours. 50 hours is nothing for hydraulic fluid, even...

I think I will be getting my tires filled in the near future. The other day, my brother in-law asked if I'd bring my CT230 over to move some lime that he had delivered for his new dog pins. So I was digging in getting heaping buckets full of lime. I was impressed with her lifting capacity. I...

Does anyone have a good source for one of these. It is a double action w. 2 3/8" bore, and 20 1/16" Stoke, w. a 1 1/4" rod. Ext. length is 51 3/8", retracted is 31 5/16". This is for my grandfather, he has been given a quote for one from the local tractor dealer, but they are wanting over...

The conservation department has a 72" Ag grade tiller available for use on private land conservation, fire lines, food plots, ect. He is telling me it is 72", weight is 1200lbs, and says it is rated at 65 hp.(that seems pretty high for a 6' tiller, but it is very heavy). I have new Bobcat...

I haven't been able to get my cruise control to work on my CT230. From what I understand, you just have to get up to speed, and then flip up the green lever. When I do that, and take my foot off the pedal, I just come to a stop. Am I doing something wrong here, or do I have an issue? I...

I just wanted to say hello, and thanks to everyone who posts here. You all help me in making a difficult decision, alot easier. I just pulled the trigger on a new Bobcat CT230 last friday. I used this forum to help gather information, and being that Bobcat is brand new in this business, I was...
