There was nothing ‘custom’ about EA products and they had been doing it as far as I can remember which is going in more than a decade. Sure, running into production delays and having some back orders from tome to time is part of running a successful business but to have your business model...

Exactly, i’m worried there’s potential for this to get a lot uglier than it already is.

I’ve done my fair share of building in NC and generally the only way a project passes all the inspections leading up to and then failing a CO which cannot be remedied involve a lack of funds to finish. Now divvying up blame from there is getting pretty far out in the weeds of conjecture, but...

That’s kind my point though. I don’t think prepayment was a ‘policy’ as much as the means to keep the business running that perpetuated for far too long. I may be out of the loop somewhat on the story, or maybe everyone is, but didn’t the contractor building the factory put liens on EA for...

I’m willing to bet the farm that they wouldn’t have stayed open as long as they did without charging 100% upfront on orders with TBD production and shipping time frames. Unintended or not, Perpetually running a business model on paid in full back orders smells too much like a a pyramid scheme...

Yes, sold

I am/was in a fairly similar position. Sold a tractor to get a UTV, then realized the UTV would not do the work I needed it to do, and am now searching for a Toolcat. Mine will be for private use on my property up in the mountains where having one tool serve as many functions as possible is the...

Someone please correct me if i’m wrong but i believe it was the early machines (through 2006) with the live axles that had the drive motor issue and was corrected on 2007 models with the new independent suspension??? I know at the very least the part numbers on the drove motors changed at that...

Sorry, failed to mention it’s a 2006 5600 turbo ‘C’ series

Ok, I'll give it a try.

So I finally found a machine.....albeit on the opposite end of the spectrum with only 800 hours. From what I've read most if not all early Toolcats experienced the drive motor issue and most machines should've experienced the failure and/or had the drive motors repaired by now. The super low...

Thanks for that pic. Turned out the 2012 did not have traction control. The switch on the 2012 for what I had thought was the traction control as found in the 2014+ F series, was actually the strobe light function as found in the earlier machines you have pictured.

Hi all, wondering what everybody considers 'high/low/average' hours on Toolcats. I am considering a 2012 machine with 2600 hours. I wouldn't consider that high hours but was hoping to try to stay under 2000 hours which I would equate to more of a low machine. With the myriad of uses and work...

Looks like the same traction control switch found the 2014+ G series but in a 2012 F series, not the diff lock of the earlier series.

So I just found a 2012 Toolcat that supposedly has the traction control option. I've come across varying opinions as to whether or not only the 2014+ G series machines had a traction control system. Would a 2012 F series have the same traction control system as the G series? I though I had...
