Personally I use the Grapple to rip it out by the handfuls, pile it and burn it. Then simply mow whatever mess is left. As long as you keep it cut for a year or two most of it dies off. I think it fatigues the plant. That also keeps me from being scratched to death during the process. The big...

Rip, Thanks for the reply. I was having a heating issue myself for a bit. Not over heating, but higher than what I have found to be normal. Pop open the hood, wait a view minutes and it would go right back to normal in a few minutes. As I always try and keep my screens and radiators (water and...

RIP, I know it's been a little while, but have you ever solved your issue with heating?

I have a Makita Dual Battery Brushless 16" (XCU04Z). I haven't used the 18 inch 2-Stroke in over 2 1/2 years. For all smallish jobs, like pruning, branch cutting/trimming, trees up to 8 or so inch's. It is my go to. Sure for BIG jobs a big gasser is needed, but I am so impressed with the Makita...

I know its been a while, and sorry for that. I had the same problem, small crack hidden in the weld. Carefully ground it most of the way down, flooded it with brake cleaner and had a professional welder redo the weld. That was 150hrs ago. $10 and 1 hour work. I will add, that the same style of...

I guess that where the question is. Were there unseen cracks that allowed the bolts to become loose, or did loose bolts cause cracks

I've used Escrow.com at least 6 times, and it is as smooth as can be. Anything more than a few K, if its not cash, its Escrow. Happy to split the fee. A 20K sale is only 200.00 fee, worth every penny. I use it personally both ways, sell and buy. A couple people were hesitant at first, until I...

Agreed. I could swear it was quite evident in the photo that the crack runs across both bolt holes.

The question really is, how did the bracket crack. Currently you can clearly see why the bolts will come loose, the bolt holes are cracked. So prior to getting the big obvious cracks. when did the little ones that caused the original problem of loosening bolts, occur. Perhaps it had micro-cracks...

Sure, thats 1. How about Kubota still hasn't put a proper fuel filter on the BX (appx 20 yrs and), still using the dual plastic/paper crap? Are all Kubotas POS? I am in full agreement the OP has an issue, though we still don't know how it occurred (and no I am not blaming the OP).

Hmm, seems the question here is how did the crack appear? Bolts coming loose after the major crack appeared are obvious, crack runs right over bolt holes. But the origination is in question. Abuse or prior manufacturing defect? Not picking sides, just musing.

Agree its ridiculous, but the leap to ALL Kiotis "..cheap POS looking machine.." is quite the slap in the face to a lot of members. I suppose not all of us can afford the great Iseki/Agco/Bolens/White/Challenger machine (most of which btw I like). Guess I'll have to limp along with my POS tractors.

I am not increasing the track size. I am replacing the bolts that fell out.

Okay, so I have sent an email to Bobcat requesting the information on these bolts. ------- 1 8ea 6697609 SCREW 8 2 4ea 6696255 NUT, high nut - Use W/6696792 long stud - Was 7131115 4ea 6696792 Long Stud - Was 7131115 3 24ea 18EM1632 WASHER, HARDENED - Was 6694095...

2 words - Steel Trusses

I watched all 5 seasons. I thought I'd find it a bit lame, given the premise. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it and wish it had a 6th Season, though it was done after 5. Truth is, there is plenty wrong, inconsistent, silly, not believable, etc etc. Put all that aside, watch it for what it is, let...

Whew, I thought I was the only one. :p

Actual tractor is CT450 Bobcat Hydrostatic with 2 piece rims - posted also in Bobcat forum) I need to replace a couple that disappeared. I would like to replace them with something a little longer, so that I can also add a Nut behind the hub. However, what are they? Closest I could come to...

Okay, so I am very confused about these bolts. They are clearly stamped "7T DS" I need to replace a couple that disappeared. I would like to replace them with something a little longer, so that I can also add a Nut behind the hub. However, what are they? Closest I could come to, that seems...

Over 50 years ago, in Rural PA, we and all the farmers round me used oil soaked rags on anything that was gonna set awhile. Now and then they would pour a little more oil on the rags. When using the equipment, toss the rags in a barrel, cover, wait till net use. To this day, I remove the rags...

- Yep. And tied to percent of gross. - Agreed. - Typical naive statement. Look after number one, don't consider the overall effect. Greed. - See above. Apologies to OP and viewers. OT- I am a fan of EA, use their products almost every single day. Am satisfied with all aspects from their...

I am replacing both of my Original Bobcat front tires (Heavy Grappling in MUD, tore one up, other has been patched several times). Original Bobcat 10x16.5 NHS Industrial (R4), Load Range D (8Ply), Max 55psi, U.S.A Replace Carlisle 10x16.5 NHS Industrial (R4), Load Range E (10Ply), Max 75psi...

lilranch, I'm simply saying that no company is perfect. I have a considerable investment in EA products, and will get more in the future. However, not everything they have is the best, or even made by them, or at the best terms. Love the company, Travis was/is great to deal with, shipping was...

Reminds me of the Kubota Cult. Upon a time I said something like, "Seem's unforgiving that a 20+ K tractor has a Fuel Gauge that is known useless and no Proper RPM Gauge (Little lcd), not too mention a direct damage path to the Hydro Fan. Not too mention little cheap arse fuel filters, no proper...

Hey folks, was chasing a rabbit and came across this site. Not an owner myself, I can still appreciate the form. Sample: http://i0.wp.com/www.tractorglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/UN2A4602.jpg Site: Uncategorized Tractor Glamour

Could use some help finding "retainer" to fit,or a full new assembly. I am wondering if this part is the same on the Kioti. I'm not certain as the Kioti diagrams I could find do not show the breakdown of the filter assembly nor a good pic. I can get a Bobcat part, but it will take a few days...

A good deal came my way about 9 years ago, and it kinda looks like a Jeep. :D btw - I also have 2-89 Cherokees, 1-08 Commander, and if I ever need one, I will also get a flat fender

I just changed the fuel filter with a "Kioti" part, and I get drips. I would have thought there would be a seal/gasket/o-ring, but the original did not have one, or at least I did not remove one and none are laying around. I've looked for an exploded view of the canister, but can't find one...

Sorry for lateness. I did not end up with the aforementioned BX, however I ended up with one a bit nicer for a similar price. Say hello to the newest stable addition - BX25 (says D) on namplate, but guess the "25D" is a 25D-1 and mine is a regular D: I have the 2" Rear and 1.5" front wheel...

My apologies for not writing earlier. I have been absolutely slammed. Good news - Grapple Arrived on the 22nd. Sorry no pictures yet. 2 weeks before that, this new addition to the stable arrived: I will get to the Bobcat in the next couple days and get that Grapple on! Got projects waiting...

Hey all, I am considering a BX22 for appx 10K, has loader and Backhoe and 800hrs. I already have the Bobcat CT450 for the heavy work, but I need a quality mower for about 5 acres of rolling, to steepish inclines, and a little rough terrain. I also am in need of a trencher/ditch digger. The...

Dog gone it Travis, did you go and paint my Grapple Orange? You know this is on a Bobcat right? :P Well, whats done is done, guess you can go ahead and ship it that way. I'll go watch out by the road for the truck. :D

Anyone have anything to say about this device? GIBBS Extra 1 - YouTube Roto Harrow - The Ultimate Arena Conditioner Thanks,

Can you knowledgeable folks help me out here? I am going to add rear remotes and my question is do I get them both the same, spring returns, or do I get one detent? I was going to get one detent just because, but it sounds like most people had them converted prior to delivery. Model is Kioti...

Travis, As promised, just so you know I am getting some use from my Forks...while waiting for the Grapple :D UTV needed some service, rotate tires, oil, filters, lube, diffs etc.

Just off the phone, EA 60" Wicked Root Rake Grapple and Third function on its way (well in the queue as it were, which btw, any of you who can wait are welcome to call Travis and donate your build slot. :anyone: :D ). I've got a lot of Beaver Dams, Briar patchs, Brush and old fallen logs...

Ouch, 5 weeks? Urrgghh 60" Wicked Root V2 or 60" Wicked Root Rake Grapple? I will be raking roots for sure, a few acres likely. Max

Travis, I'll be calling directly. Got myself in a pinch, need a Root Grapple PDQ! I know you guys are busy, I've been waffling on Double/Single etc. As Almost all my Attachments are EA (and I must say each one is an excellent device, welds, construction, etc - awesome), I'd like to stick with...

Hello Kioti folks, I am under the understanding that the Bobcat Tractors were made by Daedong/Kioti and that there is an equivalent Kioti version to my Bobcat. I'm hoping you folks can help me suss out a bit more detail, like actual model, known differences, known equivalencies, stuff like...

Can some one direct me to the best place to buy tie rod ends for my CT450 Bobcat? Thanks,

Lol@sacrifice Not to worry, All is well and 100 percent intact. :)

I know how we all love pictures........ As promised here are my newest 'treasures', hot off the truck. As I mentioned, my Bobtach decided to stick (that's a photo of my Bobtach/loader with the grease gun and Kroil and PB Blaster (ran out of kroil), oh and a small persuader.) :P I've since...

I don't get to ride as much as I used to but: 1979 Yamaha XS750 Triple I've also got an import 250cc Scooter Fuel Injected, water cooled, a fun ride. Max

Sorry about the year mix up, its a 79 750 Triple. DUH - Brain bust for a moment. 81, saw its replacement the 826cc, "850". How about this:

Travis, Thanks for all the info! I've made it through about half the Wicked Thread, and of course that makes me want a Grapple all the more. :D I must say I am liking that new grapple you've got there. Though I really wish it had one thing - where is that nice Laser Cut WICKED plaque? I know...

Travis, Thank you for your efforts. Just had word that my current order is on the way!! Whoo Hoo. Now, about that grapple. I must admit I am torn between heavier duty and lighter weight. I am leaning towards lighter weight and perhaps instead of going at 72" stick down in the 55-60 range...

Travis, I've sent an email as well, could you please check on my order. I'm seriously considering a Grapple, but unsure if I can wait three weeks more. Whats the current lead time for a Wicked Grapple and Valve Kit for my CT450HST w/9TL Loader? Thanks,

Hey there all. I have been lurking for years and might have signed up once, but forgot login etc. Figured its time I go a bit more legit. So here's my first post. :P Max
