I use my s 250 BCat about 40 hours a year. I usually keep good records about my oil changes in my equipment and vehicles... but I can not find where I recorded what kind of oil I was using for my BCat. Since I like to run the same thing, yet I don't know, I am starting over so I thought I would...

I have purchased two, what I think is Ford 101's. One has shear pin trip and the other has a cam spring type of trip. I will sell whichever I don't prefer of the two. But my tractor is broke down at the moment, waiting on the injector pump to be rebuilt, so I thought I would ask who prefers which?

I have purchased an 8ft Harley rake. In good shape except.... the float bars, the connections. Apparently the extra size and weight of the eight footer is more force than the typical six footer, because the holes are rounded out pretty bad. I could weld over each hole with a quarter inch...

On some brands, the drum floats. On the bobcat version I rented, they do not and the wheels are adjusted by a turn buckle. I was thinking, what good are these wheels other than lifting if you approach an incline, even then I assume they lift the drum prematurely. I am looking at a used power...

Help my think this through. I assumed I wanted a hydraulic angle. Do I need this? They are hard to come by used. My thoughts were that if I wind rowed my debris to my right and went the length of my run, I should turn around, change the angle and continue wind rowing that same debris, and then...

I found a good deal on a hardly used Bobcat trencher. Good time to stop renting. But now I need to learn the machine. I put it to work today but was having trouble because the chain was loose. I called my guy at the BCat place. Interesting way to tighten a chain. So I probably put to much grease...

When finishing up a house, it is best for me to grade everything and then pour the sidewalks. This eliminates any, I wish I had accounted for that.... or that area is lower, etc. I realize that most pour and then grade. This mostly being that you don't want to pay your grader twice. When you...

I used a Harley Rake.... or should I say soil conditioner today for the first time. Tearing up, leveling, easy, but I never learned to wind row debris. The rental I had was almost new, LOL, it may have been new. It did not have the hydraulic function of left and right angle. I tried the angle...

Looking for a 45+ hp hydrostatic tractor. No front end loader. I have a skidsteer. Any opinions on Mahindra tractors. I can get alot more for my money.... probably why they are the best selling tractor. Money talks. Resale would say go with a Kubota or JD... but I will likely never buy another...

I am looking to buy a tractor suitable for doing my own landscaping. Most of my rough grade will be done with my skidsteer, even power raking. What I need .... and I don't even know for sure, is for a box scrape, a drag, etc. Something that can move quick. LOL, I don't know what all I need it to...

Anybody ever used simulators, fake nice rims, on their trailers? I am thinking about it for my new trailer.

I have talked to Pro line, Kraftsman, Kaufman, Mikes trailers, PJ and Gatormade. I may be going with Gatormade. I saw some bad feedback in years past history, but this I assume could be corrected in little time so I can't assume it still exist. I am looking for a 16K, 12,000 pound capacity...

I am about to order a custom 16k deckover trailer. I have never had a two speed jack before. I don't know if I want this option or not? The electric hydraulic would be great but maybe more than I want to spend. Pros and cons of two speed?

I just bought another trailer for my skidsteer. LOL, just like the one I have but better shape and has had a new aluminum floor installed taken from a tractor trailer. My present one , Hudson 16 flat, 3 ft dovetail deckover has braces that support the ramps it transit. The new trailer has...

I am looking to purchase an implement to prepare a seed bed. I am a contractor whom wants to do his own landscaping. My S250 Bobcat would be my power. I have looked all over the internet. Power rakes are no longer just a Harley Rake. But experience trumps all. Anybody ran different attachments...

I would like to purchase a set of over the tire tracks for my bcat S250. What is the best set for the money?

I have a bobtach frame just like this; BOB-TACH FRAMES lwtm I want to bolt a quick hitch just like this to it [or weld, but will wait until I know it works well, and may incorporate a horizontal angle adjuster] john deer quick attachment (hitch) in order to use or move my 3 pt equipment. Any...

I had asked on this forum before, my dump trailer does not want to raise fully. It gets really slow towards the top. It has no way to tell about the fluid level. I have disconnected the line and added fluid. It could not have enough, have to much... or need rebuilding, I don't know. Last time I...

What brand of plow

Exceeded my expectations 4x over. I got one of these Loflin Fabrication to dig an occasional footer. I usually rent a mini excavator. I figured that since I had the skidsteer I may as well buy this backhoe and use what I have. LOL, An excuse to buy another tool. Last time it was a tree that blew...

Bobcat S250 I just purchased a Loflin back hoe. I purchased it to dig footings. Not often, 2 or 3 a year. Just an excuse to buy another tool. I love it. I don't know why others are not using them. So mobile. Once I pass the learning curve, and can operate it without thinking about it, it will be...

My 65 Fordson Super Dexta calls for SAE 30. Not as many oils were made then as now. My oil pressure starts out at 60 until the oil warms and then will work it's way down to 25. It seems like the newer oils such as 5w 30 would help the cold oil flow better, lubricating better at the beginning. I...

Several mechanics have worked on this thing with no results. It runs good for 10 minutes and then starts to bog and run rough. Everything that can be replaced, has been. Carb just rebuilt. Ran fine as usual for ten minutes. What are we overlooking?

I have fixed everything but the air. Time to start on that. I don't know anything about it except that the fuse is not the problem. should I just take it somewhere, the bobcat place, a local auto mechanic or try it myself. What is the most common issue with non cooling?

The typical bucket called a stump bucket seems like it would not dig well??? Being shaped like a wedge, the sides are hitting the soil. I hope to build one soon shaped more like a shovel. Any thoughts or ideas?

I have seen so many cracked old tractor tires. Mine are a few years old. I dont want them to crack. I keep them full of air. Is there a tire conditioner that should be applied once in a while?

My S250 4 in 1 claw is bent, about 2 inches. Any thoughts?

I just put new brake units, not pads but the entire assembly not including the drums on my dual axle hudson. I had attempted to adjust the old ones but had no results in stopping power. After installing the new ones, I suspected that they would need a breakin followed by a readjust to mate to...

New member here, glad I found this place. I have a dump trailer, 6x12 that lifts fine in the beginning but gets very slow near the top. I need to understand this thing so that I can better work on it. How do you know what level the fluid should be? I added some by taking a hose loose. It did not...
