I'm looking to purchase a used chipper/shredder that has a maximum tractor engine horsepower rating of 30. My compact tractor has a 40 hp engine. I can see the need for a minimum horsepower rating but don't understand why exceeding the maximum would be a problem. What problem would there be...

I recently purchased a Bobcat CT2040 tractor and have on order a 3-point quick disconnect, 72" box blade and 84" angle blade. The dealer has no clue when I will receive the attachments. How long are you waiting for ordered attachments"

I don't know if this describes it correctly but the loader on my new Bobcat CT2040 doesn't lower and curl at the same time. I'm certain my previous John Deere 855 did. Aren't all compact tractors capable of this? If not and mine isn't capable of it is there some way of retrofitting this feature?

What home shows, farm and equipment shows, etc have a good amount of compact tractors?

The Owner's Manual for my new Bobcat CT2040 tractor states that using foam tire ballasts will void the factory warranty. I don't quite know the logic behind that but will an owner install of a Bobcat rear hydraulic remote kit or 3rd function kit have similar consequences?

I posted a question about which size box blade is appropriate for my Bobcat CT2040. The same is being asked here regarding an angle blade. The 7' blade will just cover my outside wheel width of 62" when fully angled but will be a little short if the Bobcat is replaced with another tractor...

My Bobcat CT2040 has a rear wheel width, outside to outside of 62". I may get a different tractor that has a width of 68". Is there any downside to getting a 6' box blade for either tractor?

I don't have a Kioti Operation and Maintenance Manual but apparently there are substantial differences in the maintenance intervals between Kioti and Bobcat compact tractors. According to someone on YouTube the following items are addressed at 50 hrs of operation. Replace Engine Oil and Filter...

Still being somewhat unhappy with my new Bobcat 2040 purchase I may trade it in for a new John Deere in the next couple of weeks. How much can I expect to lose on the deal?

Continuing with the love affair with my new Bobcat CT2040 I thought the challenge of finding its oil filler cap would be interesting. Hint - It's not shown in the 2nd photo on top of the valve cover where it would've been easiest to access had the hood been better designed.

I would like to install rear hydraulic remotes on my CT2040. Is the kit that Bobcat provides complete with everything needed? I tried to get an installation manual in advance of buying the kit but Bobcat will not provide it.

The Bobcat CT2040(HST) compact tractor that I just purchased is proving to be not up to the task of grading and maintaining my long and steep driveway. It seems anemic in power compared to my previous John Deere 855. I don't know if it's because of the increased weight of the Bobcat or gearing...

I just took delivery of a new Bobcat CT2040. The decision in selecting this tractor was somewhat simple. Although my initial preference was for a John Deere Series 3R tractor the closest dealer was about 100 miles away and availability was limited. The only tractor dealer in town only handled...

Since the above manufacturers have similar if not the same tractors what are the odds that the rear remote kits would be the same? I have a Bobcat CT2040 and was wondering if it would be cheaper to get it from other than Bobcat. BTW, has anyone installed the kit on this tractor?

I just took delivery of a new Bobcat CT2040. While going up my somewhat long and steep driveway it bogged down to a standstill in high range. Shifting to medium moved the tractor along at a reasonable pace but seemed strained. Low range is extremely slow and not much good for getting from one...

I purchased a new Bobcat compact tractor today. I also intended to take advantage of their current implement promotion - buy 2 implements and receive a $400 rebate. Unfortunately the 2 implements I wanted were not included in the program according to Bobcat paperwork handed to me by the...

How much wiggle room is there in the MSRP for a new tractor? Does the supposed scarcity of available tractors warrant paying the full amount?

The extra horsepower on the John Deere 3039R versus 3033R is appealing but will the turbocharger on it be a problem?

I just sold my John Deere 855 and would like to replace it with a John Deere 3033R but I'm having a hard time justifying the price difference between it and a Bobcat CT2035, which on paper seems very similar. Is the John Deere reputation and brand name worth that much of a difference or are...

A quote for a new tractor purchase included the following additional charges. I don't remember paying these before. Are they appropriate or is the dealer taking advantage of a manufacturer's promotion? Dealer P.D.I. - $350 Freight Charges - $650 Other Charges: Material and Logistics - $281
