I had been using my CT230. I was going to drop the bucket. I set the brake and jumped off the tractor, and it died. Nothing happens when I turn the key. Nothing on the dash turns on. The headlights won't turn on.

My Bobtach assembly completely folded in half. I went to drop my snow bucket and pick up my bale spear and I found it bent. Last November I had the loader arm pin break for the Bobtach and bend everything Last winter I had the loader are end insert come off! Has anyone else had this kind of...

I went to drop the snow bucket and put on the bale spear and this is what I found. This picture was taken after my failed attempt to use it as it was to pick up a bale. Note the off colored end to the loader arm - that's because a year ago I had one loader arm insert fall completely off and...

I was clearing the overgrowth along the fence-line. There were two grape vines that I couldn't quite pull out by hand so when I was at the point of moving the piles of brush with the grapple I first snagged the vines. It appeared that I would be better off grabbing them from the side and...

Is my CT230 going to have enough hyd flow to turn a tac-plate mounted post hole auger? I have third function hydraulics on my FEL - I'm curious if anyone out there has tried this.

I managed to bend a curl cylinder on my 7TL. Bobcat wants $900 to replace or $330 to replace rod and seals. Has anyone found a cheaper option?

I broke the swivel point off of my 7TL loader at the bucket end with the bucket full which twisted the other swivel. The swivel is a separate insert that is simply welded into place on the end of the loader arm. Bobcat can't get me a new swivel - outside of re-engineering/manufacturing the...

My battery is completely dead. Im assuming its a 12 volt battery?

I picked up an older, used, 3pt, finish mower. I was handed two spare tubes and one new tire was mounted - it obviously didn’t hold air in the tubeless configuration. I was so focused on trying to seat the new tire that I didn’t notice the rest of the tires until I got it home. The other three...

I have a Bobcat CT230 tractor (30hp engine - 22hp @PTO) I live on the sandiest soil I have ever seen other than at the beach, so the grass isn't very thick. I rotate pastures and after I move the horses to the next pasture I mow the remaining grass/weeds down to 4". I'm tired of bouncing with...

I have an old Minnesota spreader that needs new U-joints in the PTO shaft. I haven't found a replacement yet. I would like to retro-fit with a new PTO shaft - but I can't figure out how the old one was attached, and there isn't enough shaft to simply cut it off and add the new - that would...

Bobbie couldn't lift it by itself. Actually, the picture with the bale in the air came when I pulled it off the bed of my pickup. The wife bought her lastest horse right after I told my brother that I didn't need the last two 1000# bales that he made for me. Based on the horses feed rate I...

So I'm a bone-head and forgot to plug in my tractor in advance yesterday; I needed to put a new round bale in the feeder and was on limited time. I gave the glow plugs their due time and turned Bobbi's key, with each slow revolution of the engine I heard her mutter a distinct "F U"! Just when...

I was using the FEL and noticed that the joystick seemed extra sloppy. Then it went completely wonky! I have torn it apart and found that the back left gizmo that the joystick pivots on is loose. I'm assuming that I simply need a bolt in the bottom of that gizmo to make it work. I need to...

Our horse paddock is wet to the point that there is a 5" layer of muck. We have been above freezing temps for the most part. Next week the bottom is going to drop out of the thermometer and leave us with an extremely rutty paddock that is very hard to walk on. In the past I have used my FEL...

CT-230. There is a tube coming from the center of the tractor heading forward to presumably a radiator, I have replaced the o-rings and a couple gallons of hyd fluid... it still leaks. After more investigation I found a crack in the weld of the end fitting and tube union. What pressure does...

A few months back there was a response to a post where someone broke down the "price" of a tractor. Something along the line of take the price you paid for the tractor + 50% of that price in implements + 100% of that price in a shed to store the tractor and implements, +... I would...

Definitely more my fault than the engineering... I was attempting to roll a huge pile of brush down a hill with my CT230 that I had no business attempting. I had a loonngg toothed manure grapple stabbed into the pile and I was trying to lift and roll with Gravity and the tractor pushing. The...
