    Oil for CT20235

    I purchase the 2.5 gal jugs of Mobil Delvac one ESP 5w40 full synthetic at tractor supply when Mobil runs the annual rebate offer (Apr-May). My final price per qt, after rebate is the same as Walmart supertech. Without the rebate, its expensive. API.org...

    Oil for CT20235

    The brand name is of no significance these days. The viscosity combined with the certified AP rating is the minimum criterion. Past that, it becomes the aggregate chemistry of the additive package, which varies wildly! I could NOT find anywhere in the Pennzoil specs where it is rated for CK-4...

    Bobcat CT225 Front bucket broke!

    I had a similar issue on CT2025, FEL up, forks down, brush hogging, looking back, when moving forward, the tip of the forks snagged a stump. the leverage of the 4ft forks generated enough hydraulic pressure on the curl up line that it ruptured the steel hydraulic line. It split in two places...

    Radiator hose "snapped"

    Bobcat's part pricing is on crack. My 2020 CT2025 is a rebranded Kioti (Daedong). I wonder if its possible to cross-reference it to a Daedong / Kioti part number for a lower $. Assuming time is not critical and a dealer is accessible, a new similar model's radiator might be modified to fit...

    Tractor News Kioti tractors replaced by bobcat?

    I think the relationships between Doosan, Daedong, and Bobcat may be more complicated than either grsthegreat & hiddentacocatneddih know. I offer that the Daedong relationship with Bobcat was alive and well as of Dec 2020. I have a 2020 Bobcat CT2025 and it is clearly manufactured by Daedong...

    Garage floor

    I would suggest that you speak with the professionals at Euclid Chemical and consider a penetrating hardener like their SS57 Euco Diamond Hard before using a topical adhesive coating like epoxy. It's only sold through contractor supply companies (they will sell to you too)...

    Bolt-on Bucket Ski's (Edge Tamers, $80/pair), or plastic edge for bucket ($460 for a 48" bucket, delivered)?

    FYI: Those $80/pr knurled knob versions are chinese counterfeits of the "USA patented" "Edge Tamers" made in the USA by R2 Manufacturing https://r2manufacturing.com/. What you have are most likely the "VEVOR Tractor Bucket Protector" sold on Amazon. Before the trolls jump on this, this post...

    Who Has The Cheapest Rear Quick Hitch?!

    I special ordered a Speeco eHitch Cat 1 (no bushings required) . Total price was $178. Local Pickup was 4-months later. Since online retailers were all charging $300-$400 plus freight, it payed to think ahead and be patient. Check wth your closest store, they can get you an updated price. This...

    Ck2610 vs ct2025 lift

    Purchased a CT2025 in May 2020, delivered Dec 2020. Bobcat of Richmond and the corporate Bobcat engineers where no help on this topic. Both quoted and insisted on the advertised numbers instead of just reading the factual specifications from the (secret) manual. What I discovered on delivery is...

    Bobcat 2540 - Has Steering Brakes - Yes/No?

    The Bobcat CT2540H (a.k.a. Kioti CK ) hydrostatc drive do NOT have separate brakes for left and right side rear wheels. Only the manual shift version of these tractors have that feature. The controls will have two brake pedals with the ability to latch them together.

    Congratulations! I agree that Tractor Therapy will produce a positive outlook on life even at @ $5.50/gal. Ask around and find off-road diesel and save 10% or more per gallon. Off-road is died red without the DOT taxes applied at the pump. You will want to confirm if the dealer includes the...

    Anyone else have trouble with the brake lock?

    Kubota users may not realize that the BOBCAT/kIOTI have a safety interlock that will kill the engine if the HST is in gear or PTO engaged AND the driver leaves the seat. My neighbor's Kubota does not have this interlock on the seat.

    CT2025 series M60-5 mid-mower issue compounded by poor dealer installation.

    I was able to straighten the black steel lift arms using a 10ft webbing lift strap, come-along, and a tree. Pulled beside a tree, wrapped the strap at the tree base, used the come-along attached to the rear end of the lift arm and slowly bend it back. I did finsh the work with a sledge and...

    Anyone else have trouble with the brake lock?

    No. I had the same issue and it started at about 100-125 hrs. Using the Operation and Maintenance manual provided with my CT2025HST tractor, I was able to adjust brake pedal free play (2.8 inches) back to the spec (0.8-1.2 inch) and the problem was solved. The adjustment required two wrenches...

    Greetings all, I'm looking for other owners who have the 2000 series M60-5 belly mower installed to compare experiences and opinions on the lift assembly. Bobcat calls the front a "mounting" bracket and the rear is the lift assembly (height adjustment). It was delivered by Bobcat of Richmond...

    FL8 Loader on CT2025???

    I was told on the conference call with the Corporate engineers and dealer that Bobcat does NOT use Kioti FEL. The engineers confirmed that max lift weight of the FL7 & FL8 are almost identical. The FL8 geometry allow a higher lift. There is a owner youtube of the Kioti CK2610 with 4030 FEL...

    Rear Remotes on CT2000 Series

    I own a CT2025H delivered in Dec 2020. I miss understood the three options and the dealer was ignorant too. I chose the Spring Return + Detent option. Which results in one lever having no detent. The second lever has a detent with spring return. If I had to do over, I would have select both...

    FL8 Loader on CT2025???

    I did inquire. A call to corporate confirmed less than 100# difference in lift capacity. The corporate team would not entertain the thought of suppling an FL8 with a CT2025. Ordering it separate is cost prohibitive, but possible. Visit bobcatpartsonline.com and look at the part numbers for the...
