    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    Ouch, that seems high. Higher than I paid for my CT5545 HST with CAB, loader, bucket, telescopic links, 3rd function valve and remote installed, dual rear hydraulic connections, 72" box blade and 84" Angle Blade...delivered.

    Rob, thanks for sharing. Keep us posted on your experiences. I think it's good to start accumulating some experiences as time goes on. I sure hope things continue to be positive. It's still early for in the relationship for me, but so far so good. I did finally receive my WICKED Grapple...

    Kubota B8200D -- am I giving it away?

    So, this could be handled either way. But I think your conscience is guiding you in the right direction. Before he laid a finger on it, I would have said “look, if we get everything operational, then the price is x.” His low ball and your honesty about the condition gave him an opportunity to...

    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    So I thought I would update this post with another positive experience with Bobcat and my Bobcat dealer. In the post above I mentioned that I purchased a tiller from my local Bobcat dealer but had lost a 15% off coupon for an implement sent to me earlier from Bobcat. Of course I find the...

    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    Picked up as in bought. They actually delivered both implements. Actually got - yes. They had to get the tiller from another dealer, so it took a few days (2-3 days) to get. They had the heavy duty pallet forks. They delivered both to my house at no charge. I am a bit bummed as Bobcat had...

    Nice options you selected. I just ordered the EA wicked Grapple. I have no idea what the current lead time is. Also picked up a 72” roto tiller and pallet forks from Bobcat.

    Ajarthur, thanks for sharing and that is good to hear. Nice tractor! Hopefully we are not alone and our assessment of Bobcat and their service abilities. I too have been pleased with my tractor build quality. It is a much nicer tractor than I intended to buy, and so far, no regrets. I have...

    Betstco EFGC-155 Fail Part 2!

    Thank you for the update and photos. It is good that they are working with you, but if you have to do what you describe, that’s a pretty good amount of work. I would hope Betstco would compensate you for the gear box swap out. By the way, which model is your? They have several. thank you.

    Betstco Flail Missing Parts And Very Poor Quality Control.

    Thank you. Perhaps you could bring this one to closure when / if you get corrective action from Betstco so we know what type service they provided. I am also evaluating one of their products, so I am curious. Did they send the replacement gear box? What became of the alignment issue...

    Real interesting. To catch a thief on rural property.

    It is a sad state of affairs. I’m not saying this is always the case, but I have found that in most cases it’s the neighbors that trespass on your property and steal from you. And they will look you in the eye and swear they don’t know anything about it. They know when you are there and when...

    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    So I realize that my member name being KYBobcat some might think I am a dealer or brand loyalist. In reality it has not much to do with the brand Bobcat. It’s kind of a play on words. I am in Ky, my name is Bob, and my girlfriend is Kathy. Real bobcats are prevalent in KY, and I also happen...

    Comparison Bobcat tractors vs. Kioti models?

    I’m sure they are focused on construction equipment. That’s their bread and butter. But I would feel they will have no trouble learning the compact tractors. It can’t be much different. Diesel motors and hydraulics. Shouldn’t be too tough for them. In fact, I think their learning curve...
