    Considering Bobcat CT225 - 235 (2008 v. 2010)

    I have 56 mostly wooded acres on which I have some trails. My house is on about 3 cleared acres. I probably have about an acre of grass that I will keep mowing with a smallish lawn tractor. Our gravel driveway is about 500' long. I want to use the tractor to clear trails, put in some fruit...

    Problem 1. I call it a traction issue as I have a new Bobcat CT225 with loaded R4's and a HST transmission. As many may know, this is the same basic tractor as the Kioti CK27HST. I am having a power issue since new and I am looking for comparative opinions. One is that I can put the tractor with...

    Attacking that power problem CT225

    Bought a new CT225 back in August, ever since I have had it it has been very weak. I did not want to go off half cocked so I have waited until spring and 50 hours to give it a chance to Break in. At 47 hours it is still without power so I took her into the dealer. BTW, the power issue is just...

    Snow  CT225 doesn't push snow?

    My buddy is telling me that his less than 1 year old CT225 doesn't push snow anymore than 8 or 10 feet then just stops dead in its tracks. He's got about 300 feet of driveway that took him over 5 hours to clear. That just ain't right. I told him that he's prolly got his bucket down too low and...

    CT225 50 hours - change hydraulic fluid?

    Manual says change the oil. Dealer says just change the filters. I didn't get a response to a request I sent to Bobcat online. This is probably as bad as a Ford/Chevy pickup debate, but should I or shouldn't I change the fluid? I think I can get the fluid for about $120 so maybe just cheap...

    So I settled on a ct225, going to pick it up later this week. My question is, What are some ways to get a little more power out of the machine? an extra pony or two on this machine would go a long way. Any suggestions?

    CT225 hydraulic capacity

    I have a single rear remote on my CT225, but I'm having trouble identifying specs. The manual () lists 12.2 gpm total, with 7.9 gpm for implement and 4.3 gpm for steering. I'm not sure if that is actually two pumps (or split pump) or if it uses a priority valve or something for the steering...

    Ballast  Tire Filling on a CT225

    My CT225 has come in and is being prepped. I originally ordered it with R1's as I am not a big fan of R4's but I have decided to take the R4's that came on it. I asked them to fill them and I was told that Bobcat does not fill tires. The salesman suggested I take it to a COOP. Just curious as to...

    Bobcat help..25hp or 27? for ct225

    Hello all, I thought I'd ask for some help here since the bobcat and kioti are built at the same factory. I bought my ct225 last month. I was reading the manual and it states I have the td1300xlbc engine rated at 25hp/18.6kw. Does the 27hp model use the same engine? The area bobcat rep said (to...

    New CT225, Is the PTO HP weaker than normal

    Just got my first few hours in on the new machine and I do like it. However, it doesn't seem very strong with a new 5' Bush Hog 160. I test drove a 230 and a 5' rankin and thought the same. I was always a bit concerned with the 19.5 hp spec on the PTO, seemed like a bigger drop (27%) than...
