I just got off the phone with my dealership in reference to my 2009 Toolcat 5600D's traction issue, the technician told me that "work mode" would significantly increase the traction on my machine and that combining that with extra weight in the box should allow me to navigate through muddy areas with ease. He also recommended taller and narrower tires to cut down on float.... Not sure if he was just shining me on or if these suggestions will really dramatically improve my machines' traction, but he insisted that "work mode" transfers low end power to the wheels! Anyone know for sure if this is the case or not?

Does anybody know where the switches are for the steering indicators? My rear indicators is not lighting up..

Thanks

The sensor might be shot, or just a blown bulb. If you don't want to go through the expense of a service visit, you might just do it by sight. Just look at the rear tires and when they look straight, you're good to go. There's a lot of play in the indicator anyway. I can move the wheel several inches without the light going out.

Where are they located? I may have both a lamp out and a sensor gone but I can't locate it.

Sorry I may have jacked this thread. My guess is your problem.is a traction issue. If the wheels are spinning and the machine is sinking, How is more power going to help?

Work shuts the horse power management off and requires pushing on the pedal a little more before drive starts to engage. Explanation HP management example - if driving in normal mode @ full pedal stroke and you start to go up an incline, the hydrostatic drive will automatically back off some to keep engine RPM up. Work mode just shuts this feature off so driver has full control and changes the ratio of pump stroke/pedal movement.

Wheel position sensors are located in the top of the king pin at right front and left rear on straight axle models (pre-D series). D series they are located on the front & rear steering cylinders.

I posted recently on by 256 hour 2009 toolcat 5600 having intermittent swashplate errors. Dealer after over a week said it needed a new swashplate sensor. Any ideas on how much it should cost to replace the swashplate sensor (include cost of swashplate sensor) Thanks swein

I have a 2011 Bobcat toolcat. I start to drive it and then locks up on me no fwd movement plus I dont have reverse function. displays shows 50-59 now showing 50-54. once i restart vehicle it runs for a while and locks up again. talk to dealer they said swashplate sensors could be bad? Where is this swashplate and sensors located???

See : http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/toolcat/225819-how-replace-dead-battery-5600d-2.html

Also, I looked at Toolcat and it appears you can remove the plastic panel behind the cab and below the bed to get access to the battery. I have not done this myself, but it looks like it can be done.

Dealer says I need new turbo on 2008 5600, anyone know of a place in Ontario or Quebec who rebuilds turbos ?

 

[BlackIrish]

I'd also be happy with a contact for a good quality aftermarket turbo.
I just can't accept $3750 + labour at the dealer.
I'm at the point where I'll park it and use it for parts for the other two.
Have a boatload of snow so far this season with another 4" forecast in two days.
Plz help.

What is the hyd. oil type in bobcat 2300 and quantity?

 

[DEWFPO]

If my information is correct the turbo on my 2009 5600D is a Mitsubishi MHI TD03-7G (same as S160 skid steer?)
P/N : 49131-02020 (replaces 49131-02010)
Kubota P/N : 1G622-17013
oil cooled

Perhaps you can Google search it and see if you can find it cheaper, these should be fairly common on a variety of pieces of equipment.

Yup, was able to find on internet out of China, will know more when they, yes I ordered two, arrive.

New problem is the '05 Toolcat. Runs like a champ for 15 minutes then the hand throttle has no affect on rpm, machine limps along in idle.
We are thinking fuel pump ? sensor ?

But we were able to fit the turbo from the '05 on the '08 and now the '08 is good to go again, ran it for 6 hours today blowing back snowbanks without any issues.

Does anyone know of any diagnostic program, ideally on Ipad, that will communicate with toolcats and skidsteers ?

The differential is Limited Slip so a Limited Slip fluid should be used. Using engine oil or an ISO hydraulic fluid could affect braking (wet disc brakes) and/or Limited Slip function.
