Bobcat Tractors coming back in 2019

[mtsman2]

Something aint right with those specs....

They show the Cabbed versions only adding 18 pounds??

And on the 35 and 40 HP models the simple upgrade from standard to HST transmission adds ~720 pounds...I think not. ANd on the 20hp the HST is actually 12 pounds lighter?

I think they just got their specs screwed up royally

Very much agreed! Never even noticed the Cab is only adding 18 lbs. In addition, I also just noticed on the 20 hp the HST is listed at 1195 mm (as in millimeters) instead of KG :laughing: Giant errors! Bet they printed tens of thousands, all wrong. It would take a couple hours or less to proofread the entire document. My 1st guess is that this literature was outsourced to a vendor outside of USA to reduce costs.

Well you never get a 2nd chance to make a good first impression.

The Weight of the CT2025 is 2634 lb and the CT2035 & 2040 is 3005 lb.
The Bobcat loader is not the same as Kioti.
Rubber floormat is standard on the Bobcat
0.0% for 84 or a free loader this month.

Speaking of things lost in translation, LOL

"Solid" Doosan Infracore, Bobcat may separate from parent to keep cash-strapped Doosan Heavy afloat

Many thanks for new literature BTM, very helpful!

It was March and they had been out 3 months. I could not get a quote, the local representative had experience and was super nice but admitted he did not have time to take the tractor training yet, all week he could not log into the quote system, the regional "tractor expert outside of BLE" person was out and the literature was full of errors (could be very wrong but my guess was it was not proofread or all portions of the company have not decided to adopt an "america first" strategy causing the literature to be outsourced out of the USA). If I had to predict future service on these initial interactions/factors I would predict problem after problem going unsolved. Most of this is dealer related but not literature full of errors.
I'm out.

Got a 2535 demo unit delivered to my house for 2days. Enjoyed using it. Fuel tank is in the rear. This would out lift my ford 1920. Look at the skids of oak. All lifted by this tractor. Lifted and moved freshly split red oak too but had to put carryall on 3pt with a skid of oak on it. Made it much more stable.

Looks nice you buy it...

No. I want to try out Kubota first. LX2610hst, 2650, L2501. They all seem similar.
I want to pay cash so I need to wait a bit more and now is not the time to travel to test. I am in NY on Long Island.

I must say the cab was wonderful with heat and AC. Used it in heavy rain yesterday and was great!
I’m used to a Ford 1920 which was a tank. This is a lot smaller but will lift more which is good. Narrow and needs wheel spacers put on.
Without 4wd I would have been stuck constantly moving wood skids on mulch and wet ground.

I would not get cab. All that glass! Knew someone with a Mahindra that had wind pull a glass door out of his hand and smash it. Cost over $1000.
Open station is for me. Also worried about all the electronic stuff.
Dealer didn’t have a backhoe yet. And I don’t they were trained with tractors yet. Didn’t even know about loading tires.
Very nice tractor and it’s a contender. I think a 2025 though. Same lifting capacity just not as high

I just don't know if bobcat will bail out on the tractors again...
