    First time in the snow - wonderful experience

    I built my house 24 years ago. Over that time, I've used an atv with blade, skid steer, track hoe with steel sheet pinned between bucket and blade, bull dozer and now the tool cat to clear the snow. Toolcat is by far the best. In all cases though, I just put the blade/bucket down and push...

    First time in the snow - wonderful experience

    We got our first snow of the year (strange, it normally starts in November). Only 6" but had a chance to use the Toolcat for the first time in the snow. We don't get a lot of snow, but enough that if I don't plow it, no one can get in and out of my drive. We live on the side of a hill and you...

    Toolcat moving slow

    Well, I've been holding out to get to the dealer (2hrs away) to get the pedal recalibrated. Just been driving around real slow. Yesterday something happened that triggered the red exclamation point on the control panel to light up. Immediately the machine resumed the normal operating speeds...

    how do you remove the cab on a tool cat

    The manual walks you through exactly how to do it. Was very helpful. Why are you pulling the cab? I had to pull mine to determine which hydraulic hose was leaking and have access to replace it.

    Winch add to my Toolcat

    No issues yet. One might argue that it weakens the support structure of the boom by welding it like I did. On the other hand I technically welded in a "brace" so I think it will be OK. I nestled it in tight in the corner. Had to ensure it cleared any aux hydraulic hoses that could be hooked...

    Winch add to my Toolcat

    Good idea. Would also "look offroady" mounted to the tool cat when not in use. :)

    Winch add to my Toolcat

    That’s a good thing to have in emergencies. Nice work.

    Winch add to my Toolcat

    Added switch in the dash and port for tethered remote below seat. It is long enough to reach front or rear.

    Winch add to my Toolcat

    I have gotten my Toolcat stuck so many times in the 4 months that I’ve had it that I decided to go ahead and add a winch to it so I hopefully don’t have to find help every time to free myself. I added a receiver up front right above the tie down point. The winch can’t stay there obviously while...

    2007 Toolcat - no traction, stiff suspension, differential lock?

    Update... First off, I wanted to say thanks to aelsnow for the new rear fenders. His generosity and contribution to my project can not be overstated. Last night I removed the front wheels to get new tires on them and actually got a chance to mess around with the A arms. For the several...

    Toolcat is an amazing Christmas light decorating tool

    First time getting to use Toolcat for hanging Christmas lights. The bed is large enough to hold all my lights and with forks on front can carry lift wherever it is needed. Priceless.

    Jump start Toolcat

    Appreciate all the feedback. I am going to run the jumpstart cable like was mentioned above.

    Jump start Toolcat

    So still new to my 2007 Toolcat and wondering how do you go about jump starting it when you have a dead battery. Battery is hidden behind bed and skirting. Thinking of adding jumpstart cable that is accessible

    Toolcat moving slow

    Spoke with the dealer and the service tech states that is what would need to happen if it was disconnected. I am a little skeptical as what happens if you install a new battery. Would the same thing happen? Any way, I will be taking it for a visit (2 hrs to nearest dealer). Sounds like a...
