Cold weather slowed my dealer down but finally received the machine on Saturday. First job was hanging a gate and than moving 1000 lb hay bales. The hale bales were handled with ease. I still on occasion reach for the HST gear shift and miss the loader joy stick but I am sure after a couple more...

Just thought I would share several quotes I have on a new LS XR4046 HC, both with loader, beet juice filled tires, block heater, also delivered. Quote 1 was $30,500 and Quote 2 is $29,900. The higher quote is from the closest dealer. Anyway, I am moving up to this machine from a Bobcat CT235...

I am looking to upgrade from my 2011 Bobcat CT235 to something with a bit more HP and a Cab. My local dealer is quoting $37.9K. Comes with the loader only. A dealer in an adjacent state has one listed for $34.7K but I bet transportation is $1K to my location. Has anyone bought one of the...

Happy news. It was a bit of a b*tch but I got my bucket off. The bob-tach pins had a bit of corrosion going and I had to pound them up a bit. A little lube will go their way. Anyway, I used some short chain pieces I had (@2600#) and a couple of chain binders and hooked my 3 pt bale spear on the...

Today, I was over at the local Bobcat dealer and two Bobcat factory reps from Fargo, ND were at the dealer. I was scheduling my Ct235 for the 50 hour service and asked the Bobcat factory reps why the hydra/trans oil needs changing at the first 50 hour service. It is around 8.75 gallons of fluid...

Greetings, I finally have the right equipment (rotary cutter) to mow about 8 acres of grass and weeds for use this year as food plot and some pasture.Come spring it will be wet and messy for a while given the soil type. I never mowed the area down last fall and I am now wondering if there is...

I am debating whether to get a Berco Snow thrower for my little John Deere 304X garden tractor versus a 3PT PTO snow thrower for my Bobcat CT235. The 3PT snow thrower seems kind of awkward but I would appreciate feedback by people that are using that set up or other ideas.

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...

I have been monitoring the forums for a while but this is my first post. I have a 10 acre property that has about three acres of mowing. I use a Deere x304 for this job as there are many trees to get around, works great. I want to maintain the remainder of the property (rolling terrain in...
