Bobcat CT230
Has anybody purchased manuals for their Bobcat tractors? I have been trying to get my dealer parts department to order me a service and parts manual but have pretty much gotten the run around. If you have one is it like this EBAY listing?

BOBCAT MODEL CT235 COMPACT TRACTOR COMPLETE REPAIR & SERVICE MANUAL 2 | eBay

Or maybe you could hook me up with a more workable parts department.

I have a printed version that covers the 225/230/235.

Look online at bobcat.net and locate another dealer. Sounds like your dealer is like some that are close to me. They can order you what you need and have it shipped straight to your home.

I've got pdf of the service manual for Kioti ck25,27,30, and 35.

I've also got a pdf of service manual for Kioti DK40 and DK50. If you pretend that you really appreciate it, and pm me with an email address that will accept 23 MB I may sent it. (Depending on the # of responses.) :)

Figure out who REALLY builds them, and shop for the alternative manuals - the cover sheet will differ, so what ?
BobCat is just an emblem, much as Dodge was an emblem on Mitsubishi (& now Fiat).

There is a very limited number of engine manufacturers for compacts.

I have the digital copies that covers the 225, 230 and 235

Did you get that thru a dealer or? How much did they charge?

I was quoted $150 for the PDF a year ago, which is absurd. The paper
manual for $110 on eBay above is a much better deal.

I still would like to have a cheap copy of the PDF, tho I no longer have
my CT230...

Not true, close but not exact same. It is built by Daedong same as Kioti, McCormick, and Landini but Bobcat has a different electrical system. Different wire harness, saftey switches, and controllers.
