Welcome to TBN.
If you haven't already go through your owners manual.Check (re-check)fluid levels,lug nut tight specs,etc.Think you get the picture.
Play safe,get'er dirty,keep posting pic's.
Let us know which animal is more dangerous,a Bobcat or a Kioti.

well still going good been using and checking tractor over all morning. Are all tool boxes on backwards or just mine? or are they supose tobe that way? Any how i turned mine around much much beter. I also noticed that when i put my 5ft shredder on when i lift 3 point it seems tobe jumpy?? any thoughts on that might just be new. Well back to playing opps working.

I believe there is a speed control right between your legs below the seat for speed on the 3pt that might help with the jumpiness of it good luck with the new Cat looks good

Just curious what you guys are paying for a 335? I got a estimate today at my local Bobcat dealer. Here is what I was quoted.

I had them spec it out with a loader, 1 rear remote, R1 tires, and loader with quick tach.

$20,147.61 before taxes.

I also had them build the same 235 just for comparison. It was $17,638.66 before taxes.

Thats about what i paid with no rear remote.

My dealer quoted me $249.71 for the single rear remote which I think in fair. I have now decided I will get dual rear remotes even though I am currently only using 1 on my current tractor to either power my Log Splitter or the left/right movement on my Snow Plow.

I paid $19,565 for my CT450 with FEL last year. Two sets of rear remotes were around $600 (installed by my neighbor and I) and my sunshade came from the Tractor Supply clearance rack ($49.99).

 

[duckhunter27]

dang thats a good deal may i ask when you bought it?

 

[Crike]

In the Spring 2009 they had a promo for a free loader plus a rebate. They sold more units than they had in stock. I had to wait over a month to get it, but it was worth it.

 

[duckhunter27]

Wow you got a great deal i heard they were giving really good deals back then. I pd 20,100. ct335 FEL and a rear blade and i thought i did good lol

That's 2K less than I paid. Sounds like a great deal!

Man this reinforces my decision to buy when I did. I wasn't looking for a tractor, but I couldn't pass it up. I paid $14,200 for the 335 with loader and 1 set of remotes. My dad wants to replace his kubota now but the prices are just not as good, obviously.

Also make sure you check tightness of lug nuts. First day I had mine I lost 2 lug nuts on each tire and all were loose when I noticed something shimmering in the dirt. Lo and behold it was a dang lug nut. Whew good thing I saw it before the tire fell off.

 

[Diamondpilot]

Well I may just wait and see if they run a better pricing point. I really do not need a new tractor right now but it would be nice to have more loader capacity than my current tractor has.

[duckhunter27]

Im checking my lug nuts agian after reading this lol .How long have you had your 335? How many hrs.anything els to watch for or check? I take it you like it? I havent had mine long but love it so far.

 

[horticattleman]

I have about 150 hrs on it. I wish they would make the front grill more protective being I've banged the wire mesh up pretty bad. I think I ripped that bucket level indicator off the first day I got it!

I really like it. It has alot of power as far as the hydraulics and the tractor goes. I wish the pto was a little stronger though.

 

[doall]

those cats are really good looking machines. None around here close or I would have checked them out.
