CT335 Bobcat
Over $1500 Invested In Repairs In The First 132 Hours, Not warrantied?
Model Year: 2012

So far, it is the most expensive junk I've bought to date. There is no support from dealer or corporate whatsoever. It is empty promises after promises. if you are not a multi-million dollar business, they won't have time for you!

Pros: Ran great at first
Cons: Warranty sucks as does the company

CT335 Bobcat
Bobcat missed with this one.
Model Year: 2010

Having done a lot of research into new compact tractors, I came to the conclusion that this was the right unit for me. I was wrong. This has been the biggest disappointment and possibly the worst piece of equipment that I have ever purchased. The machine has been to the dealer twice and a service tech has come to my place once for the same problem (hydraulic issue) and the machine is still not fixed and now it is off warranty and it has only 305 hours on it. Please do yourself a favour and do not consider one of these machines. I wish i went with a different tractor.

Pros: None that come to mind while writing this.
Cons: No dealer support (weeks to return a phone call). Spent a month at the dealer each time it was there to get fixed.

CT335 Bobcat
Snow Blade
Model Year: 2011

I need a snow blade for the front. I have only used the tractor for cutting the field with a brush hog. There have been no problems at all to date. I do not have the arms with a bucket. I do not want to have that expense as I do not need a bucket. So I hope I can find a blade from an after mart or maybe from Kioti. I understand it is produced in South Korea also. Thanks.

Pros: It is well built and a sweet running machine.
Cons: Having difficulty finding a blade for the front for snow.

Great Tractor, Comfortable Cab
Model Year: 2011

I ordered this tractor with the optional cab, which included air/heat. Living in upstate NY, our winters are snowy and cold. Regardless of the weather, working this tractor is just like being in my truck, except more comfortable! I have an FEL with Bob tach, 7' snow blade, and a 5' brushhog. Switching from bucket to blade is a snap, and having a 3-pt. hitch height adjustment lever out back makes hooking the brush hog a breeze. Comfortable controls, and seat, add in satellite radio, and its tough to beat!

Pros: Comfortable, convienient controls, great support from dealer, Bobcat of Watertown, NY.
Cons: High-range outruns power.

CT335 Bobcat
Not Enough
Model Year: 2011

We purchased this from a Bobcat dealer that knew what we needed. It's not heavy enough to pick up a bucket full of gravel without tipping. 2 yrs. later they no longer make it and the price for a Kioti really dropped. We are in the process of getting a John Deere utility tractor and losing money on the deal. The 50 hr. service for break in was a lot too. We had other issues also but none were worked out to our satisfaction. The dealer didn't care after the sale.

Pros: The controls are ok 12x12 trans.
Cons: Too many to list.

CT335 Bobcat
Too Small
Model Year: 2011

The Bobcat dealer we bought this from knew what we needed and this tractor is marginal for our type of business. It won't even pick up a full bucket of gravel-without tipping. The depreciation is terrible on this tractor, we lost over a 1/3 in 2 years. The Bobcat dealer just wanted the sale, very little customer service. Charged a lot for the 50 hr. maintenance.

Pros: 12 x 12 trans.starts okay in winter.
Cons: Too light. Too many things to list.

CT335 Bobcat
Not Big Enough
Model Year: 2011

The tractor is okay for what it is but won't even pickup a whole bucket of gravel. It is marginal for tilling food plots. When I looked at trading up I will only get half of purchased price. BIG LOSS won't buy Bobcat brand again.

Pros: Tractor is okay for light duty uses.
Cons: Poor dealer advise, not heavy duty, marginal for what we need.

CT335 Bobcat
Just a Great Tractor
Model Year: 2012

I have moved a lot of rock and fill around with this tractor and it just performs flawlessly. Up and down hills it is always up to the task. I am glad that I purchased the heavier 35 hp as compared to the CT235. I also move my trailers around and have a set of pallet forks for moving scaffolding and other items. I think that the only thing I would have done differently was to get one with a factory cab. I tend to be a little weather dependent on my using the tractor.

Pros: I really like the hydro-static transmission. Performs well with loaded tires.
Cons: Minor issue with headlight switch not always working as it should. I have to wiggle or play with it to get it to work. Minor problem with the connections I guess.

Love It!
Model Year: 2010

Have had tractor for about 3 yrs. and still love it. My wife uses it as much as I do and loves working with it. Only thing that would be nicer would be if it could pick-up more weight with loader.

Pros: Love all of it!
Cons: None.

CT335 Bobcat
Snow Blowing Machine
Model Year: 2010

I bought my Bobcat because I got stranded out in the country the previous spring by a spring snowstorm that left a complete whiteout. The ditches were filled up and I couldn't tell what was road and what was ditch. On top of that I had a complication with my eye that left me partially blind in one eye 'cause I didn't make it to the doctor in time. I therefore vowed this would never happen again. I have a half mile to go to the main road and without a cab it gets mighty cold. The year after I bought it, I used it almost every day blowing or pushing snow. I have a snowblower on back and a blade on the front. My mother in law lives 3 miles south of me and I was able to drive back and forth to her place, in comfort, I might add, to clean snow out of her yard. I also have a bush mower, a blade for the rear that I use to grade my road, a bucket, a post auger and a 3-point hitch to move machinery around easily. I really like the comfort and ease of use that this tractor offers. I especially like the four wheel drive as I live on a side hill.

Pros: Ease of use, visibility, 4 wheel drive, accessories, mirrors and lights.
Cons: Could be bigger could have a seat that could move at a 45 degree angle to see behind at implements.

Bobcat CT 335 with Cab
Model Year: 2010

I purchased this tractor in 2010 after going through many winters here in Minnesota freezing my butt off on a tractor without a cab. We had a snow storm at Christmas time that year and my wife was on call at the local hospital. I spent almost 40 hrs on my old John Deere 770 without a cab just keeping the road and driveway open so that she could get back and forth to the hospital. She was the only lab tech that could get to the hospital that wasn't stranded by the storm. It was my wife that suggested I get a tractor with a cab, bless her heart. After looking at several dealers I was dismayed that no one offered a small tractor with a cab. All the dealers around here have large tractors with cabs, but I needed a small tractor that would fill my needs, and not have to spend big bucks. I love this little tractor. It is perfect for everything that I do around my 28 acres. I have a snow blower, a rock box, an angle blade, 60 inch brush mower, loader with bucket and pallet forks. The cab has a great heater and air conditioning. Bobcat really put some thinking into this tractor, it is designed very well. Good visibility and easy controls make any job I do very enjoyable from snow blowing to mowing to grading the road. I am saddened to hear that Bobcat is discontinuing making tractors.

Pros: I like everything about this tractor.
Cons: Only one seat and no room for a rider (my grandson).

1st Tractor For Me
Model Year: 2012

This is the 1st tractor for me, I had some land cleared of trees. Wanted to keep the growth down and clean it up a little more.

Pros: Built well, easy to operate, has the safety features needed for safe operation.
Cons: Part prices too high.

Bobcat CT335
Model Year: 2010

Overall I am satisfied with my purchase. There are some areas where I feel that the manufacturer can improve the design and make some progress, but that is normal for almost anything. The dealership was very responsive to a problem with the front brakes squeaking but were unable to correct it. Sales of consumables after the sale were outrageous and as much as twice the cost at another dealer. Rust in places even on day one. Compared to other tractors of the same size, really quite nice. Worth having with the added benefit of a clean white paint job.

Pros: Strong, easy to use, very reliable, good control placement.
Cons: Undersize hydraulics, very high ROPS, expensive consumables.

CT335 Bobcat
Best Value for the Money!
Model Year: 2011

I purchased the Bobcat CT335 HST because it seemed to be the best tractor with the most features for the money. I checked out several brands and, in my opinion, Bobcat had the the best bang for the buck! I was impressed by the overall quality and my local dealer (Bobcat NH) was most helpful in making my selection. I chose the CT335, even though it is no longer in production, because of the two-pedal HST control. I originally tried out a CT235, but the heel-toe pedal was too much for my arthritic ankle, and the CT440 was more tractor than I needed. I purchased the CT335 with the 8TL loader, and a Bobcat 6' FEL mounted snow blade, and added an EverythingAttachments 6' box blade to use on my 500' gravel driveway, and as a counter-weight. I also plan to add a root grapple and PTO driven wood chipper to the arsenal to keep up with the constant encroachment of brush and woods on the open spaces on the property. While I'm still learning how to get the most out of the tractor, I'm more than satisfied with the CT335 and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good value in a compact tractor. I believe that there are still a few around on dealer lots.

Pros: Rugged quality construction, most standard features for the money!
Cons: None found so far.

HooRah for 335
Model Year: 2010

I have purchased and love my new CT-335 SST. You just can't over work this baby. I love it, it's my first tractor and I have only used it for duties that it just eats up, like nothing. I will pick up a Tiller to do a lil' more. I can't seem to get enough work for this on my 15 acres of flat clear land. I'm building a few food plots this year, in order to better my deer population. If you have any ideas or suggestions please don't hesitate.

Pros: Quite enough MUSCLE.
Cons: Haven't found any unless, not having the hydro-stat.

So Far So Good
Model Year: 2010

Have had no issue's with the CT335 so far. Honestly I don't use it a lot compared to some. Most of the hours were from snow removal last winter. I have dug some dirt, and moved a lot of heavy landscaping material. Use the included FEL all the time.

Pros: Price and features.
Cons: None so far.

CT335 Bobcat
Bobcat 335CT
Model Year: 2003

The best tractor on the market for the money. No other manufacturer could come close in price. Saved over $7,500. Fluid filled rear tires give it much added traction. Absolutely refuses to quit when pulling heavy loads. It will break traction before engine stalling. Nice standard comfort features include adjustable suspension seat, cruise control, dual rear breaks and tilt wheel. The perfect little logging tractor.

Pros: Bobtech attachments are an easy quick change.
Cons: Could use a heftier FEL. The TL8 is a little over rated. Rear landscaping blade has a poor design and have lost two lateral retaining pins.

CT335 Bobcat
No Corporate Support
Model Year: 2009

Have had my CT335 two years now. Seven trips back to the dealership for warranty issues - usually the drivetrain. John Manzi from Bobcat agreed that the amount of defective items is unusual - and also stated that there were issues with the design. In my opinion, this was the worst farm equipment purchase I have ever made. The ideas are great - but the tractor isn't meant for agriculture purposes. Maybe a cute hobby farm, but it isn't meant for real work. I also had several issues with the local dealership - Mr. Manzi took note and tried to make it right.

Pros: The financing options were good at the time.
Cons: It is still a Doosan tractor made in Korea.

Bobcat CT335 HST
Model Year: 2009

I have had my tractor for almost 2 months and have not had any issues. The tractor is strong and the only time it has bogged down is cutting heavy grass with my 6 foot rotary cutter. It has the 8TL loader which is very responsive and lifts well. Tires would have been better filled as I find the the GP tire lose traction easily (when compared against Ag tires). The Bobcat implements are also well made and it was useful to have them included in the financing - 0% for 72 months.

Pros: Lots of features, rear 3 pth control, 0% financing for 72 months.
Cons: Small toolbox, some controls are in the way when entering/leaving seat.

CT335 Bobcat
Hill Side Farm Tractor
Model Year: 2009

First time tractor owner/user with a hill side farm. I liked this tractor for my hill side farm over the Kubota because of it weight, width of wheelbase, and handling. I used a sod buster to open a water line on a packed down rock dirt road -- was amazed at how it pulled the sod buster plow through big sandstone rock. Have had excellent service from Advantage Valley Bobcat -- dealership.

Pros: Durable, dependable, price.
Cons: None.
