They can stick Bobcat tractors where the sun don't shine.

2009 CT335 with 293 hours and I have a dead cylinder. Hardly any compression. Took it to the Bobcat dealer in Kalispell where they sat on it for two months then called and told us to come and get it since they couldn't fix it. Parts no longer available. Unable to diagnose problem except to say it will probably need a new engine but they are no longer made. Sorry chump, then handed me a bill for $2,000 which included 3 new fuel injectors that didn't help. Not 20 feet away they have new 2019 Bobcat tractors sitting on their lot. And they expect to sell them?? Took it to a Kioti dealer in Missoula but after nearly two months am not having much luck there either. He talked the talk at the time but hasn't walked the walk. Engine in pieces sitting in an open yard with snow all over it. Can't even load it back on my trailer. Now what? Don't really have time to part it out and I don't want a $20K flower pot sitting on the ranch. Prolly buy a new tractor next spring but am not sure what to buy. JD not an option since many of their accessories have proprietary attachments and I have a bucket & forks that I can use on a new universal quick attach. Not many compact tractor dealers in my area but one thing is for sure, I'll never buy another Bobcat tractor.

I think JD offers optional skid steer quick attach on some models.

Sorry to hear of your troubles with the Bobcat.

A Bobcat that is only 10 years old and parts are not available.....amazing......
Guess that means sales volume for their brand must be very low.
It's a Daedong engine right?

It's surprising Daedong engine parts are not interchangeable.
I can see most all rotating parts being new designs but would think cylinders/pistons would have a long life for a given displacement.

Sorry to hear your stuck like chuck on this. That is a large flower pot ...

They do but a man has to get downright ugly to get it bought. I had to give the sales guy the bundle number to put SSQA on a 3720 I was buying for an employer. Jerk tried to tell me it was not offered, and he had enough experience to know better.

I was about to reply to the original poster "time for a new dealer." But then you got the same from the second Kioti dealer!

Hard to believe they are not supporting a 2009 already. I thought Daedong was more established than that. Sad.

Sounds like two very bad dealers to me.

Far as I know the CT335 uses the same engine as Kioti DK35se and all the engine parts are listed for it on the Michgan Iron partsfinder site. (Under DK 35 then go to DK35se engine parts.)

"They" are. If the stupid dealer wants to take his tractor apart and scatter the parts over his yard in the snow, that is a problem with the dealer not Kioti.

Any good diesel engine re-builder worth their salt can fix it. Post 3 proves that with rebuilds and parts available. Based on other posts here over the years, there is a lot of meat in the blocks too. Almost feel like calling the post BS, but possibly the OP has had a string of bad luck. If it were me I would go get everything, pull the engine, and find a good diesel doc and have all the dealer information available. I would also be calling USA Bobcat HQ to find out if the regional representative could help. Several times folks here have indicated this helped.

Good luck and Happy Holidays
