Here is a link to the Tata Ace. It is a 700 cc diesel mini truck. The price is probably competitive with used Japanese mini trucks, as Tata is extremely price competitive! Info below was taken from the following site: http://ace.tatamotors.com/specifications.html ENGINE Model : TATA 275...

Fellow TC owners, Does anyone laugh at the plastic bubblewrap heat shield that Bobcat uses on the bed of the TC to protect it from engine heat...I mean, is is just for demonstration purposes and you are supposed to replace once it melts away (as mine did long ago), or is this piece of plastic...

I cannot convey how impressed I am with the reversable seat of this tractor. Here is an example of what I am talking about... Antonio Carraro America, Inc. The Tractor People As you can see, it makes the conventional rear mounted implements of tractors front mounted, if so desired and I fell...

Here is an interesting UTV for those more interested in work than play... Antonio Carraro America, Inc. The Tractor People Is it a "tractor like toolcat" or is it a workhorse utv? Steve

A Toolcat graced the cover in the September 2006 issue of Product design & Development. (PDD ) In summary, it stated that more people are asking their equipment to do more work and how companies are responding both in terms of what they bring to market and their suppliers of parts. An...

Hey all, Does anyone have any experience with an electric ATV like those from zapworld. (http://www.zapworld.com/products/ATZHD_ATV.asp) Thanks! Steve

Dear Fellow Toolcat Owners, I am slightly past due for my 50 hr fluid changes and look over by my Bobcat dealer, but it is scheduled. I have a slow hydraulic fluid leak, but as of yet no other issues! (Knock on wood . . . a Pagan I am not, but if it works!) I just wanted to know of what I can...

So far my only complaint regarding my Toolcat is the reflections inside of the cab when it is dark. I would imagine that this is problematic for all cabs as they tend to be rather box-like with non-slanted windows. When reversing, I find it almost mandatory to turn on my reverse work lights...

I had the toolcat out this evening moving some muck out of the barn and dumping in the woods on a trail that I am establishing. This top layer on the trail is a manure/wood shavings/hay mixture so it is soft when dry but slop when saturated. We have had ~12 inches of precipitation in October...

I prefer to use my recoil starter in my Grizzly, as I find that this is one of the best theft prevention devices known for large ATVs. The difficulty of it pretty much rules out any punk kid from taking it off of my farm or out for a joyride! Anyhow, I was left the other day with the cord...

Today in the Pocono Mountains of N.E. Pennsylvania, we have temps in the high 30s to low 40s with drizzle, rain and winds gusting up to 25 mph. <font color="blue"> (If there was an instant markup face for bone chilling I would have inserted it here.) </font> However, this is absolutely...
