BOBCAT CT230 RANGE SELECTOR STICKS

   / BOBCAT CT230 RANGE SELECTOR STICKS #11  
.. but I have noticed if I give it a little travel pedal (while throttled down to idle) and ease the RANGE SELECTOR into gear (L-M-H), I'll get a slight "grind" as the gears engage.
I really don't want to grind the gears, so if anyone has another "fix" please reply.


Thanks again for the replies.
:D

Give the pedal a slight 'bump', stop, then try to shift. You're just trying to line the gears up for an easier shift.

I just got my CT230 and I noticed the same thing but was expecting it after reading this thread. It feels like a Jeep 4wd lever and seems to respond to the same thing... Just make sure you are rolling ever so slightly when you shift and shifting is smooth.

The Bobcat dealer's shop mgr. contacted me and said he talked to BOBCAT - who told him the procedure was in the owner's manual. He offered to come pick up the tractor (60 mi one way) and have his mechanics look it over for any possible problems... like bent linkage. I'm thinking I'll give it awhile longer to see if things improve, then take up the offer if it doesn't get better.

:D

WOW. My dealer is 5 miles away and I'd like to get a return phone call much less them come pick it up to fix it.

On a Kioti there is an adjustment in the linkage that will fix this. On mine the creep and hard shifting got worse as hours racked up. I made the adjustment about 50 hours ago and all is good.
