OK, last night it was -24F in my unheated shop when I went to start the Toolcat for a long night of blowing. I unplugged the block heater and tried starting with one glow plug cycle and she started fine. A few more engine revolutions than normal but still a good start. Two factors that...

It's a snow moving beast and as maneuverable as the Toolcat. It's served me well for 13yrs but very limited in use for me. I think the compromises I'm making in switching to the Toolcat are worth it for the versatility.

Important point. That is actually a safety feature for me as my road has some steep drop-offs on the road edges which crabbing allows me to keep my width without getting so close to the edge. It took me a few tries to get the technique down but it's definitely a much needed function for me.

Montana. They revised our forecast yesterday and now say we have a 70% probability of seeing -43F Friday and Saturday in the mountain corridor I live in :(. I guess I'll find out how well the filter heater I install a couple of weeks ago works.

I would love to have a V plow but unfortunately we get too much snow to plow, no where to put it all. Also when I first started plowing the berms on the side of the road would get too high to plow anymore and I had to use a skidsteer to take them down. Even with a traditional blower setup the...

What I love so far, which I couldn't do before, and really saves me some time, similar to your setup, is having a blower on the front and a blade on the rear. Previously that was taking two pieces of equipment. I'm really hoping it does well for me this week because I'm really liking a lot about...

I got my Toolcat primarily for snow removal and more versatility than the equipment I was previously using. The concerns I had were snowblowing performance and cold weather operations. The machine it replaced was a beast for snowblowing and blade work regardless of snow depth, density and...

Looks good and nice light coverage. One of the first things I did when I got my TC was change the front bulbs to LED. Does make a dramatic difference with the right bulb and color temperature. When experimenting with LED lights years ago for my Holder, for snowblowing at night I found color...

Customer of mine has an engineering firm and they outfitted their 2015 5610 with a set of the tracks and installed reinforced 1" lateral stiff rubber cleats on them. They use it to move surveying equipment and clear survey lanes in the winter. It apparently works well for them and is more...

Yes, as I was looking for one I noticed the most common rust out areas were the door sills and lower cab frames. Thanks for the heads up. I'm treating the whole frame with Corrosion X as soon as we get a warm spell. I can apply it with applicators we have at work down to 34F, although that may...

So last Friday my TC finally made it here with a stop to pick up the snowblower. Got everything hooked up and installed. I think it will work well for us. It won't be the snow eating beast the Holder is but it will definitely be much more versatile. I'll especially enjoy having a rear blade now...

Thanks I'll check it out.

OK, so it doesn't sound abnormal for the button functions to vary for given attachments and not necessarily be logical choices. That's OK, I just wanted to be sure it was functioning properly. Thanks

My TC is a 7 pin and the blower came with a Bobcat 7 pin harness.

I was wondering if someone here could tell me which of the forward remotes is the pressure coupling, the upper ( male) or lower (female). I'm just wanting to be sure and couldn't find it in the manual. I know Bobcat is the opposite of several others. I was hooking up my new snowblower last...
