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

Hmmm......I'm wondering if we are hearing the whole story or just venting. :confused3:

Been there done that. Even stopped in their headquarters in Fargo. Went through there 12 times this summer. They were the people who told me there was nothing they could do.

That question often goes unanswered.

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 THIS has something to do with it. https://www.equipmentworld.com/bobc...r-business-with-new-lineup-of-compact-models/ they must have disassociated themselves with their previous line of tractors!!.. there ARE specialty shops that will make or repair any part you need though!..

^^^^"These new tractors are designed by Bobcat, but they’re currently being built by Daedong, makers of the Kioti tractor brand. However, that’s not the long-term plan."

It would be common sense that long term need for parts would need to come from Kioti/Daedong.

That statement would turn me off from buying a Bobcat Tractor in a heartbeat.......:thumbdown:
