I can't say I recommend this because it's not right, but all my tractors I either use a ziptie to push in the seat button switch or I buy a plug in bypass for the safety switch. It's what works for me.

I'd also check the vin in the engine and tractor to make sure its the same tractor? I'd definitely want paper work.

I'm not defending any of the problems or how the dealer handled it. I'm just wondering. You mention under 100 hours. Were you checking the torque if the tractor as mentioned? I feel like if the answer is no, which I suspect may be based on the screws being finger loose, that could also cause the...

A couple things that come to my mind. - that lawn mower doesn't have a permanent rear diff lock, it has no rear diff lock at all, it's open so one wheel gets power at a time. Not sure why you have difficulty steering. - machine size shouldnt be dictated by property size but what you need to do...

Id contact the dealer and try and get one no? Every machine comes with it new

Having the thumb is a game changer, anyone in the fence should go for it. It'd be nice if it was hydraulic but the manual thumb is still a huge step up from having none

Yup that does it for sure, tapping the opposite direction. Thanks

Thanks, yea I actually have noticed that helping. It's so smooth when it goes in nicely, just can be a bit frustrating when it doesn't. Tractor has 15 hours on it so yea hopefully with time it'll get easier more consistently

I know I've seen others discuss this and it seems very common. But is there a way to make it easier to shift gears? When it won't go into a different gear I usually let the tractor roll a little in neutral and then try again. It seems to me like it's just the gears nkt lining up and so you can't...

Even when dumping the hydraulic system is being used because it's keeping pressure there to slow the dump or curl to whatever degree you allow. Otherwise if it was all gravity and no resistance from the hydraulic system it would dump quick and slam down

Are your RPMs low when that's happening? As I understand it you want your RPMs at a certain level because that's what will keep the hydraulic fluid flowing faster, too low and the system may be struggling under load. When doing loader work I'm usually at 2000 to 2500 rpm

I have a hydro and yes only the one brake that controls both rear wheels. The manual trans has the split brake.

Yea I can see them doing that. It'd be nice if they wrote which models it applies to if that's the case. I guess I'm more interested to see what other 2025 owners have over there too

Something that made me more comfortable with bobcat is, even though they have gone in and out of making tractors, their brand and dealer network are pretty solid and they have a knowledgeable base of service techs who work on heavy machinery and are well trained. Couple in that they are made by...

I was greasing and torquing my ct2025 and I came across greasing the pivot location for the brake pedal (right side under floor). Now the manual doesn't specifically say there is a zerk here, but the picture appears like it has one? Under the tractor is a see through roll pin. Does anyone have a...
