    Oil for CT20235

    I purchase the 2.5 gal jugs of Mobil Delvac one ESP 5w40 full synthetic at tractor supply when Mobil runs the annual rebate offer (Apr-May). My final price per qt, after rebate is the same as Walmart supertech. Without the rebate, its expensive. API.org...

    Oil for CT20235

    The brand name is of no significance these days. The viscosity combined with the certified AP rating is the minimum criterion. Past that, it becomes the aggregate chemistry of the additive package, which varies wildly! I could NOT find anywhere in the Pennzoil specs where it is rated for CK-4...

    Bobcat CT225 Front bucket broke!

    I had a similar issue on CT2025, FEL up, forks down, brush hogging, looking back, when moving forward, the tip of the forks snagged a stump. the leverage of the 4ft forks generated enough hydraulic pressure on the curl up line that it ruptured the steel hydraulic line. It split in two places...

    Radiator hose "snapped"

    Bobcat's part pricing is on crack. My 2020 CT2025 is a rebranded Kioti (Daedong). I wonder if its possible to cross-reference it to a Daedong / Kioti part number for a lower $. Assuming time is not critical and a dealer is accessible, a new similar model's radiator might be modified to fit...

    Tractor News Kioti tractors replaced by bobcat?

    I think the relationships between Doosan, Daedong, and Bobcat may be more complicated than either grsthegreat & hiddentacocatneddih know. I offer that the Daedong relationship with Bobcat was alive and well as of Dec 2020. I have a 2020 Bobcat CT2025 and it is clearly manufactured by Daedong...

    Garage floor

    I would suggest that you speak with the professionals at Euclid Chemical and consider a penetrating hardener like their SS57 Euco Diamond Hard before using a topical adhesive coating like epoxy. It's only sold through contractor supply companies (they will sell to you too)...

    Bolt-on Bucket Ski's (Edge Tamers, $80/pair), or plastic edge for bucket ($460 for a 48" bucket, delivered)?

    FYI: Those $80/pr knurled knob versions are chinese counterfeits of the "USA patented" "Edge Tamers" made in the USA by R2 Manufacturing https://r2manufacturing.com/. What you have are most likely the "VEVOR Tractor Bucket Protector" sold on Amazon. Before the trolls jump on this, this post...

    Who Has The Cheapest Rear Quick Hitch?!

    I special ordered a Speeco eHitch Cat 1 (no bushings required) . Total price was $178. Local Pickup was 4-months later. Since online retailers were all charging $300-$400 plus freight, it payed to think ahead and be patient. Check wth your closest store, they can get you an updated price. This...

    Ck2610 vs ct2025 lift

    Purchased a CT2025 in May 2020, delivered Dec 2020. Bobcat of Richmond and the corporate Bobcat engineers where no help on this topic. Both quoted and insisted on the advertised numbers instead of just reading the factual specifications from the (secret) manual. What I discovered on delivery is...

    Bobcat 2540 - Has Steering Brakes - Yes/No?

    The Bobcat CT2540H (a.k.a. Kioti CK ) hydrostatc drive do NOT have separate brakes for left and right side rear wheels. Only the manual shift version of these tractors have that feature. The controls will have two brake pedals with the ability to latch them together.
