This sounds epic and I love projects like this! A few years back I built a ski-in-ski-out cabin (4,500 sqft) for a customer and had to remove an old 1,000 sqft cabin that had been built over the property line of the National Forrest. Had to stay out of the root zone with equipment so I rented a...

Correct 100% In Washington a rebate is considered earned income so it’s taxable. Nothing shady there.

There were only 2 fees in my quote; assembly and documentation. The later is a state required fee on anything with an engine that you can ride on. I guess it’s all relative. If you believe you’re getting a fair deal and like the service and the product than you’re good. There’s also something...

Here’s my invoice from February.

Looks sweet! Excited for you!

I have used e-collars for 15 years with my dogs and will always do so in the future. Follow the directions and don’t try to speed the process, they’ll work out just fine. https://www.sportdog.com/in-ground-fencing

Talking to my sales guy when I purchased mine, he apologized for not having several answers immediately. He said that due to COVID, Bobcat released a series of internal videos about the details of the tractor. But many people only watched them once or didn’t watch at all so their knowledge was...

Check with your local building department. My county has 3 pre approved plans that are free. Each has a complete list of building materials down to brackets and nails. The pre approved plans are super basic but there’s a lot you could do to spice it up if desired.

Just curious, which model did you end up getting and what was your price?

That looks really solid. Great job!

Welcome from the West side!

I’d still try the Crossbow trick (without holes I thought you were talking larger stumps). I’ve done this with Scotch Broom and am able to easily dig out the 1-2” stump within a month or two.

I guess it depends on the type of tree. I’ve had good success drilling a bunch of 3/8” or so holes in the face of the stump and then filling it with Crossbow. For willows I don’t dilute, just fill the holes with a few tablespoons of this nastiness.

The slab on the outside, for trash cans or wire in a generator?

Went with the Blue Diamond Light Duty. It was a 6 week wait, made in the USA, and wasn’t so heavy that it took away too much from the loader. What did you get plumbed in the rear of your machine?

My tractor was actually in stock. I ended up waiting about 4 weeks for delivery because I wanted cruise control, ballast in the tires and the forward hydraulics installed before I took delivery. It was supposed to only take a week, then it was two, then only half the parts came in... Typical...

Which ever way you go, add hot water there as well. House is looking great! You’re getting into the fun part.

I’m assuming you didn’t pay full price as a result? The same thing happened with my forks - problem seemed to be a sloppy weld up under the quick connect and a lack of quality control. My sales guy discounted them and then brought me a new one when it cam in stock.

Has anyone ever found these in 2.5 gallons and yellow? I have my fuel cans color coordinated to avoid confusion and the tractor needs to be totally different.

Salesman dropped off the box blade today and brought with him a set of pallet forks to unload the box, then sold me the forks for $600 including tax. I didn’t realize how much I would actually use them. With 10 hours on the machine I’m super happy with my purchase, the customer service, and the...

I honestly had no idea steel structures were so cost effective. Minus the slab you’re talking $5 a square foot covered!

The deal I’m speaking of is directly thru the Port of Seattle/Tacoma. You basically keep an eye on this parking lot and when it gets full, they start selling. I imagine the further away from a major port you are the more the prices go up. Delivery is within a certain radius and then them just...

I guess it depends on where you’re at. Due to the trade imbalance with China and Seattle being a major port city, they are about $1,000 delivered for the 40’. You can move them around with pipes and 4x4’s like the Egyptians did...

Double shipping containers; I did the same thing for a while and covered the middle with 2x6 and metal roofing from HD. Worked really well and was cheap.

Well, here it is! Not all of the parts are in stock yet and they will be delivered when the arrive. First day with the new Bobcat and by the end she’s got almost 5 hours on the clock. I did some brush mowing of blackberries, back bladed a large parking area, and hauled a ton of cedar split rail...

I guess I have some questions; how big of an area are you looking to cover? Do you need permits? Snow load of any type? Will wind, rain, weather come in from any side that will need to be enclosed? Do you have any trees that you could pay to have milled? How much are you able to build? I would...

I’m looking at getting a ZT mower for our new place. I purchased a Bobcat compact tractor and now seem to be on the email list for other sales/promos the company is having. Price seems competitive with all other brands but in looking for reviews it’s difficult to tell paid content from honest...

Not sure if it varies by dealer, but I was told that the R-1 tire was the only one they had access to right now due to supply chain issues. Those came on every tractor on the lot. If you wanted something different my dealer was quoting 4-5 months wait and they were basically giving a coupon for...

We run 2 blowers; a Milwaukee M18 for my wife. It takes care of the garage, front porch, driveway, etc. I save the big piles of leaves for my backpack Stihl.

Thanks. This is my 4th home that I’m building from the ground up and I certainly feel at times like I’m stumbling along having bit off too much.

I purchased the same tractor in the open ROPS configuration and will be taking care of 10 acres with a similar configuration to you. A few thoughts; Cruise control. Mine was just under $200 installed. 4th and 5th valves for a top and tilt if you might ever plan to use one. My dealer gave me a...

I guess it depends on your zip code.

I would attempt to control the source. Does your house or your neighbors house just use splash blocks on the downspouts? Where does all the water from the driveway and/or road go? Where does your gutter and/or drainage ditch along the road dump to? A few years back I ended up digging a curtain...

Maybe the way the dealership orders them it’s standard? Not sure. I know there’s a lot of unknowns on this new tractor with Bobcat sales. Cruise wasn’t on my tractor when I did a demo on the lot nor on the 2035 that I compared it against. Cant speak to them all however.

I can’t speak to any long term service, but the original sales experience was really good. I walked in and started looking at ToolCats while I waited. Sales guy came over and then proceeded to spend the next 4 hours with me before I purchased the tractor. As far as shop time, the shop manager...

Let’s blame autocorrect, post above should suggest a search for a “Worn Wench”.

It’s just a switch on the dash, seems like you could leave that part out of teaching kids. I wanted it on for mowing to ensure as I hit a pothole I don’t push down on the gas pedal and surge the tractor.

For those of you who have been to, or live in Western Washington you will know what I'm talking about. Blackberries are the state weed... My wife and I purchased 5.6 acres and have about 2 acres that was cleared several years before we purchased it and the regrowth was 8' deep of blackberries...

In this thread there's some good info and then there's some "internet wisdom" that I hope those people never have to put to use. The first thing I would say is to get some training that is specific to your local. Obviously shooting an intruder to save your families lives will get a much...

Totally agree. The only reason I wasn't willing to go with Kioti was the proximity of the dealer to me - I just couldn't justify driving for 90 min vs 30 min and Bobcat offered the ability of mobile service if needed for a pretty nominal charge. Watching Ohio Wood Burner LTD on YouTube (has a...

We’ll be sure to look at my discounts and ask for the same if not more. I basically got the loader for free and 0% just by asking. There’s also a $400 implement rebate if you buy 3 (not including the loader) so it gives you a pretty heavy discount on one of them. Lastly be sure to verify tax in...

Found the answer and figured I’d close out the thread for future reference. Cruise control is available on all CT2000 series. I’m not sure if the price varies based on the tractor - mine will be $190 installed for a CT2040.

Also, I tried looking around for separate financing hoping I could then pay “cash” at the dealer and get an incentive of some type. I couldn’t find a non-farm bank (and I don’t have a farm so I could qualify for the loan) that would finance a tractor because they don’t have a title that requires...

I think your price looks ok. At my local dealer the 2035 was exactly $450 less than the 2040 - which is why I went a little bigger for a nominal price. My quote is about a week old here.

Just ordered a CT2040. Sales guy offered a Protection Plus Warranty for 60 months or 2,000 hours. It was initially $700 but was reduced to $350 during our sales negotiation. Read thru the paperwork. This warranty is more like your car vs Kubota. It doesn’t cover negligence or theft, but is...

Tractor is looking good! I’m curious if you were able to add the cruise control? If so, was it an OEM part or did you have to go aftermarket to achieve your goal? Thanks.

Hello Everyone, I've been lurking around here for some time and finally decided to register so I could ask a few questions. We're currently in the process of building our dream home on 5 1/2 acres about an hour south of Seattle and I'll be buying a compact tractor soon. Lots of work in it's...

Hello Everyone, I'm in the process of purchasing a CT2040. In Western Washington we're limited with what we can do in-person so after meeting the sales guy onsite and doing a demo, we are conducting all other business via email. I think this might be the crux of the issue; I'm trying to figure...
