    Bobcat snowblower SB32x74 on Toolcat

    I put EdgeTamer's on my Toolcat's blower for exactly this purpose (a QuickAttach 2420 63" blower). They work great in light/fluffy snow. They work less great in wet, heavy snow. Details in these posts about my experience with them...

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    I headed up to my mountain Toolcat this weekend, sure that the solution posted in this thread wasn't going to solve my problem. I was just *sure* I wouldn't have plugged my iPhone into the headphone port rather than the AUX input port... But yes, that's exactly what I had done, and voila...

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    I got confused in the back-and-forth. What do you think the wiring problem is?

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    Oh, that seems highly likely. How do I access the back of the radio?

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    @laurencen This sounds like the situation I'm in. I didn't try it until recently, and I'm no longer under warranty. I'll try the few things @ruffdog suggested. I'm guessing it just doesn't work.

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    I tried two cables: 1) lighting-to-mini adapter, then mini stereo cable to AUX port on radio. 2) A no-adapter solution: one cable that goes lighting-to-mini-stereo (lighting-to-AUX) I like the idea of the Bluetooth receiver plug, though my AUX port might not be working...

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    I suppose I could upgrade, but I can live with the AUX cable solution if it would just....work. I'm hoping it is a stupid user error.

    Toolcat radio AUX port with iPhone?

    My 2021 Toolcat 5600 came with the stock radio, with the AUX port. I have tried multiple cables from my iPhone into the AUX port, but I cannot get sound from my iPhone to play through the Toolcat's radio/speakers. The AM/FM radio works fine. Do others of you successfully use your stock Toolcat...

    Steep snow performance of Toolcat 5600?

    A few upgrades and changes for my mountain Toolcat this season. I changed the tires and chains this winter to get more grip. Last winter I used Turf tires wrapped with a 2-link-spacing, square-link ladder-style chain. They worked well going straight up and down, but the machine would slide when...

    Steep snow performance of Toolcat 5600?

    I finally got to put the edge tamers to a significant test yesterday with my first plowing of the season. I put them on the blower late in the season last year, but didn’t get enough snow to give them a full test. They work great! It’s much easier to avoid picking up gravel, dirt, and rocks...

    Thanks. I’ll try to use your page reference to find it my manual as well.

    How do I clear the service reminder on my 2021 Toolcat (with a keyless start). I cannot find instructions how to do it in the service manual. Are these instructions correct for my machine? https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/clearing-service-reminder.408077/

    Tire Choice

    @laurencen Bobcat makes a wider fender designed for the turf tires. I changed over to those when I moved from R4 to turf.
