Check that 4030 again please. Lift Capacity at 59" is not the same as Lift Capacity at full height. See Below.

So do we know if bobcat is making their own loader or if it is a Daedong rebadge?

The loader is different than Kioti.

SSL quick attach bucket and 4 link bucket tilt are standard on all models. Even the 21 HP tractor.

Had a chance to see a basic 55 HP model. OMG - what is Bobcat thinking. Only one step on right side facing the tractor. Plastic fuel tank is under the step and right behind the front tire. Zero protection - just 6" away. Rear has no adjustable distance links on lift arms, just turnbuckles. I think it is a cat II set up. Now not everything is bad on all models there is a lever out back to raise and lower the 3pt. This makes it super easy to hitch up - assuming you can get it perfectly lined up. I wonder if that lever will fit the older models. The tractors also appear to be shorter with the fuel tank moved from center behind the engine. I also learned there is a re-gen stop button so if you in woods or grass you can prevent it from getting the exhaust hot.

I'll try and get pictures next time I am there.

I will be making plates to protect that when my plasma table comes in in April. FWIW, I ripped the fuel line out on my Kioti 6010 because the fuel line comes out at a 90-degree angle from that plastic tank going from left to right like a truck air horn waiting to get honked. Bad design.

I'll also be making at least a brush guard insert that works with the headlights as well as guards to protect the rubber boots on the steering hydros on the axles.

Yeah I know, this topic has been beaten to death already. It's frustrating that Kioti rated the 4030 loader this way. But I'd still wager it could lift more than 1369 lbs to 95" (the ct2025 / FL7 specs), don't you think?

While you're here helping divulge info: Why does bobcat say the ct2025 tractor is 64" wide, if the CT7 loader only comes with a 60" wide bucket? Seems like a problem.

Well I hope the parts will be available for it a few years down the road. Bought as tractor backhoe a few years back, made by Earth Force and sold under Bobcat name. Couldn't get parts for it after a few years, now I have a CT335 and need a grill and it is no longer available. (it was made by Kioti, but grill is different) I have had 3 older Kubotas and no problem getting a grill for it. No I didn't knock them out, they were that way when I bought them and I like to get them back in good order. No complaints on the CT335, I like it but the parts from Bobcat has something to be desired.

That is weird, I have not had a single part that I have tried to get, not be available.

Granted I have not tried to get any sheet metal parts, but when I talked to my local Bobcat dealer, he acted like I should be able to get anything I need.

Wonder if it is your local dealer?

Have you tried calling any other dealers?

The Fort Wayne Bobcat guys have always been very helpful to me

I have called 4 large Bobcat dealers that have 5 or more stores around. St. Louis, Calif. Huston Tx. Part # is 7001994 if any one wants to check it out. I cannot believe that something so simple as a grill is not available. I would think that would be a high volume item. As the grill is prone to damage. Makes me wonder about other parts. I know it is supposed to be the same as Kioti but a lot of things are not and Bobcat does not provide you with a list of things that are made exclusively for them. I guess the wiring harness is one. So if you get a short or damage your wiring harness (mice) you are out of luck. I wonder about the glass for doors and cab is they would be available. I would like for some one from Bobcat higher up the ladder respond as why I cant get a grill before trying to sell me a new Bobcat tractor.
