I've got an F series with the Doosan motor. I've had Toolcats since 2005 and never noticed this issue before. When using my 4n1 or combo bucket and when I open it, it bucket wants to drift closed. If I click the hydraulics on, the bucket will stay in the open position. When I release, it...

Hello. I have been mulching for nearly 20 years with Bobcat machines and a CAT machine. My mulcher dealer was trying to talk me into buying a JD 332G for mulching. On paper, it has a little more power than the S770 but the s770 has a great, sealed cab and the engine compartment stays fairly...

Maybe someone has had a similar issue. I have a 2012 Tier 3 S750 (Kubota motor) and I recently had the cooling fan replaced. Bobcat dealer upgraded it to the newer style aluminum fan with spin on filter. I finally got a chance to run it and it runs warmer and doesn't cool off as well (205-210...

Any ideas on how I can straighten this bucket on a 4n1 or is it trash? It is bowed in the middle. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a place to buy accessories for my Bobcat 3400. It's a 2016 and very similar to the Ranger with a few Bobcat tweaks but I'm not sure exactly what's different. Does anyone know if Ranger windshields, bumpers, winches, etc., will fit up without hassle? I have a Bobcat roof already...

In 15 years of mulching, I've had 1 fire that damaged my fuel tank on an M series Bobcat. I have all the guards, keep machine clean, and still had something get hot, smolder and melt a hole in fuel tank and ignite my fuel. I caught it and only damaged my fuel tank. Insurance repaired it and...

I've got a 2014 F series 5600 (one of the last f series made) and lost traction to my left, rear tire. When I looked, the cv boot was torn and the drive line was out of the hub or whatever it's called. Has anyone seen this? I can't tell if there was a bearing in there or if it's just pushed...

My service area is rather small and I'm looking for someone with experience and a small to mid sized mulcher for a job about an hour south and east of San Antonio just west of Cuero. Either PM me or post here and we can discuss. Job is 200-300 acres of fence lines and ROW.

Anyone use synthetics in their skid steer or CTL mulching applications? Is it worth the cost for synthetics? I have a dozen attachments so if I switched to synthetics, it would be an investment to swap out the oil in every machine to prevent mixing (or is that a problem?)

Happy Fourth to those visiting forum from USA. I've currently got an 750 high flow tier 3. I'm looking for a second machine and or upgrade to my 750. I've gotten conflicting reports on whether the additional 7 horsepower makes a difference in the v3800 Kubota. I didn't notice that great of a...

Brief history. New engine some time back. Recently the fuel line was plugged up. Replaced filter, cleaned out the fuel line and mule started and ran fine for awhile. Wife was using it and it stalled on a hill after running fine for about 5 minutes. We towed it back to the shop and I suspected...

My Bobcat 335 with only 350 hours is leaking fuel. I filled it up and noticed that it was dripping the next day when my tracks were wet. My first reaction was cracked fuel tank or a hole in the tank. After cleaning it up and looking closely, I found under the front left of the housing where...

My FAE 150 blew a motor seal yesterday. Oil started pouring out of the breather cap. No reason why yet. Mulcher has low hours (probably 500 or so) and the case drain on the machine and mulcher are working as they should. That scares me and now I get to guess at what caused the failure. FAE rep...

It isn't always fun. A suggestion, always wear the seatbelt and watch out for widow makers and large trees that can snap or fall the wrong way. A helper needs to be a tree length plus out of the danger zone unless he can outrun a 60' tree falling his way. I'd wear a hard hat, too. The chipper...

My F series Toolcat has about 250 hours +/-. About three months ago I noticed that the RPMs dance all over the place at low to mid rpms when the machine is in gear and moving forward. It's not at every throttle position but rather a few but those happen to be where I like to set the throttle...
