My Bobcat CT235 arrived today

[abatis]

The local dealer dropped off my new CT235 today. It has the BobTach 7TL, 60-inch tiller, rear remotes 0-2, suspension seat, block heater (for Montana), GP tires . The dealer put rim guard fluid in front and back. I am working on some dike repairs for a spring fed pond and it was nice to be able to haul some clay with the loader. I will be using the tiller soon to prepare some game plots for birds. The best suprise is it fits in the shop with the ROPS up. I was thinking it was nip or tuck on the ROPS height. Fits just right. So far I like the machine (2hours).

Great pics of the new rig, and the awesome backyard.

Loading the fronts is not very common. What lead you to that decision?

I loaded all 4 tires on both of my Mahindra's. Every little bit helps.

Nice view. I have 41 hours on mine and love it, but can"t get it in the garage even with the ROPs half way.

Here's a tip: If you attach your rubber hydro-line caps together you will find they will stay up above the quicklinks instead of hanging down underneath the tractor.

Thanks for the tip. On the tires my dealer took it upon himself to do the fronts but I think it will be fine as I am going to be hanging stuff off the back like the tiller most of the time. The view from my place is the Mission Mountains in Montana. I truly appreciate that view.

{Loading the fronts is not very common. What lead you to that decision?}
I loaded the fronts as well because I have a BH hanging off the back and going up hill, the front end was so light it was hard to steer. Added a couple of hundred pounds when filled with high density foam. I also go very slow up hill now.
You cannot add weights to front with the FEL on- I know you all will say why not just put some weight in the bucket- that is fine UNLESS you are picking up gravel at the top of the hill and unloading it at the bottom of the hill.

Congrats. I have the same machine with 110 hours now. I have been happy.

I have a good friend who lives in Montana (moved from Missouri) and now he won't come back.
