    My CT230 won't hold a charge and requires a jump start every time I use it. The battery is the original Bobcat battery and I don't see any markings on what size it is for replacement. What CCA should I get?

    Snow  Best way to use a snow blade on gravel

    Tires  Flat tire CT230

    Managed to get a flat front tire (R4s). Never got around to asking the dealer how to change it and they are closed. How should I go about taking the lugs off? They are much smaller than my truck tire tool and I don't have a four way.

    Rust on Bobcat CT230

    I purchased a 2009 Bobcat CT230 with two hours on it about a month ago. I was told that the tractor was new, never used, and wasn't a demo unit. I did receive a $500 'old inventory' discount, but I made sure to verify that the tractor was in good working order, and no damage. Being that this...

    Oil & Fuel  Lose of hydraulic fluid when removing connections

    First time CUT owner, and first time dealing with hydraulic fluid...so ignore my ignorance. I removed my FEL for the first time today, and when I disconnected the hoses about 1/4 of a cup of fluid came out before I could put the rubber boots on. I ended up having to hang the hoses from the FEL...

    Canopy  Inside or outside?

    What are fellow Bobcat owners doing with their tractors? I don't have a shed or out building for the tractor so I've been leaving it outside and covering the seat to the front of the engine with a tarp but don't want things to rust. Am I being too ****? Should I go with...

    Box Scraper  Box scrapper questions

    I noticed that my FEL has holes for what appears to be a replaceable protector for the front bucket. Does anyone know how much Bobcat charges for this replaceable blade? Are they usually included with the bucket?

    Loader  What RPM speed should I use?

    What RPM speed should I set the tractor at for driving around or using the FEL? I was around 1900 and then set it at 2300 when I was going up a hill in reverse. Is there a RPM range I should stick in, no matter the gear setting?

    Trailer bounce

    I picked up a trailer today along with my CT230 ( The dealer drove it forward onto the trailer (with the FEL and pallet forks) instead of backing it on the trailer. On my way home there was *all kinds* of bouncing, especially under 40mph. I pulled over several times thinking it was going to...

    Chains  Chains or straps?

    Picking up my CT230 tomorrow and I got a great deal on a 16ft steel floor trailer. The dealer suggested chains and binders, but I'm leaning towards decent straps instead. The *most* I would drive this would be 30 miles round trip (highway). What would you guys suggest? I've not used chains...
