So today was the day to install the Steps on both sides of the machine The passenger side was a much more difficult task with all the hydraulics in the way I ended up just ordering 2 of the brackets and 2 steps Instead of giving Bobcat $80 for hardware I did not want, I ended up getting it...

This thread has been very helpful! I am in the same boat now where I don't want the questionable New Holland fluid in my new Bobcat! I bought 2 gallons of VG 46 yesterday and its as valuable as gold! Question is - Instead of wasting fluid, can i just use an air compressor (clean dried air)...

Thank you. I really need to do a better job searching Just ordered the 2 of each bracket and will use rivnuts to secure it!

Question - The Step Kit that you can buy for the ToolCat Can that be mounted on both sides of the machine? https://shop.bobcat.com/step-kit-7135575 Don't even get me started on how much they charge for it....

Another few hours of snow to go and then get to go out and play! They reduced the forecast but we have already gotten more than they called for. Should end up around 12"

Today was the day! The conclusion of the 14 Month Journey! And perfect timing with the 15+ inches of snow we are expected to get tonight Made quick work of some upgrades before the snow - 1. Hydraulic Top link 2. Cat 1 Quick Hitch repainted in Bobcat Orange 3. Jensen HD Bluetooth Radio Had...

Just heard from the dealer All the goodies should be here in the next week, week and half So should be ready for me in 2 weeks or so with everything installed!

That is funny. I always get out of my machines to the left so usually switch it to the left side so I dont need to walk around the implement if it needs an adjustment. Looks like the hydraulic toplink I bought it going to work out perfect.

So went to the dealer this morning and low and behold the machine actually exists! I took it for a lap around the equipment yard and got to test the 4 wheel steer weaving around stuff Very happy so far!

Exactly! On the boat or in the seat of a tractor. Best part of Covid. Unfortunately work travel has cut into seat time!

We spend a lot of time in the Hudson Anchorages and Marinas. We make a few pilgrimages out to Long Island Sound to Huntington, Oyster Bay, Mattituck and Greenport. Usually hit the Connecticut coast on the way back. Then usually 1 pilgrimage south to Jersey Coast or Maryland.

Thanks! Use a 35 Metric Ton Travel lift to pull her out and block her

It has! And hits home as we live on a boat 9 months out of the year. Now I need to update the photo with the new toy next to the ship!

That is cold. We usually dont get much lower than+15F so hoping to not have any of the colder location issues you guys have. I think the Toolcat will fit in the garage with 1/4" to spare so hoping I dont need to leave it out. Have a buddy in Alberta and it was -56 yesterday. I asked if that...

So currently the list is - TURF TIRE, 12.5 X 15, 7166360 EXTENDED FENDERS FOR TURF TIRES BLOCK HEATER KIT, 7328972 REAR VIEW CAMERA, 7286502 RIGHT REAR REMOTE HYDRAULIC KIT, 7257423 LED STROBE LIGHT KIT, 7424783 Jensen Heavy Duty JHD916BT Radio Hydraulic Top-link for 3pt I think I want to go...

I am traveling for work this week, which seems to be every week these days which is another story....... I wont be home until Friday so now I have to spend the next few days fidgeting in my meetings until I can get to the dealer on Friday. I asked for a photo of it as soon as they have eyes on...

The call I have been waiting for over 13 months finally came in this morning! The UW53 has arrived at the dealer after a lot of back and forth with the dealer and them with Bobcat! They will get all the additional bells and whistles installed and should be ready to start moving some snow real...

Stopped by the dealer this past week. Machine is still scheduled for March 2024! They are going to reach out to the district manager to see if anything can be done. Also looks like only a handful of UW53's seem to have been delivered over the last month so not a volume item!

Thanks! Stopped by the dealer this past week to find out where my machine I ordered almost a year ago was. He confirmed 2024's start showing up In the September/October time frame.

Not sure what that has to do with when the new model year is introduced, but still wondering when the 2024 models start rolling into the show rooms?

When does bobcat increment the model year for models? Like when something will be designated a 2024 model?

So called the dealer for an update and did not get promising news..... The system is now showing a 2nd week of February 2024 as a delivery date Disappointing, but will hold out for a new machine given the prices of used if one even comes on market....

Congrats on the new machine! It seems like UW56’s are flowing out of the factory as my dealer is getting them in regularly. Seems like the UW53 is an entirely different story. Checked with them yesterday and my date is still January 2024 :(

You might have just solved the mystery......

Thats the fun part. I asked my dealer as its not clear in the workshop manual. It sounds like you need to pull the center headliner down to access.

The Aux plug that you see in the cab needs to be plugged into the octopus of wires out of the back of the head unit. Maybe that got skipped during assembly?

Just spit balling here.. I assume you are using a lighting to mini stereo adapter, and then a mini stereo cable from the adapter to the radio. Cheapest option is to rule out adapter and cable. Its an analog connection so not much to troubleshoot. The other cheaper option is to just get a...

Not sure about your Aux port issue as I am still 9 months out from receiving my ToolCat but already ordered the radio upgrade and its sitting in the living room. The unit has Bluetooth for Audio and calling. Happy I bought it when I did at $370 a month ago becuase it has gone up...

I am currently going through this now. Sold my LX3310 machine and am now waiting for a delivery of my new UW53. While the ToolCat isn't exceptional in any 1 category, it is like a swiss army knife and does a lot of things moderately well. I wanted to buy used, but the 5610/UW53 is a unicorn...

Its funny you say that because I have ZERO patience and am an instant gratification person. I have always wanted a ToolCat so have regretted not getting one when I bought the Kubota 2 years ago. I have other toys to play with until the new machine shows up anyway lol

Heard from the dealer today. The build date is now showing as January 2024. Will be interesting to see if that date gets pulled in. A year is a long time to wait!

I would say it works great on a new ToolCat. He switches from the plow to blower at the 1:15 marker

Interesting! Thats how my dealer has been up until the end of last year. You drive by now and the yard is stocked with Excavators, Skid Steers, UTV's, Telehandlers, Compact tractors, articulated loaders and attachment galore. They did get 2 new UW56 units in just before the holidays and I was...

So still don't have a build date or any indication from Bobcat on when the machine will be available. The dealer checked around and doesn't look like there are any confirmed deliveries with dates at this point for anyone with a stock machine order or customer order. Just saw a YouTube video of...

So stopped by the dealer today for a few items and an update. The computer still isn’t even showing a build date yet which isn’t a good sign. He was going to call around to some of the other dealers in the area to see if any have a stock order in for a UW53 with a delivery date and see if he...

Thanks. I am looking for something a little more factory

I have looked through the forum and googled a bit but havent seen to come up with an answer. Has anyone found ready to go seat covers for the ToolCat available? I can have my local canvas guy make something, but always easier if something exists on a shelf somewhere....

Had a thought..... I have installed these in boats multiple times so am pretty familiar with them. Since you would only be using it for the winter, would it be possible to just build the system into a gasketed pelican box or toolbox that you could just strap into the dump bed? Exhaust out the...

Thanks. That seems easy enough!

I cannot get my hands on the Workshop Manual for a UW53 yet so figured I would ask here. Does anyone know how to remove the Jensen HD radio from a G or H series? I will be upgrading mine to the Bluetooth version with call control, the Jensen HD 916BT -...

On the 5610/UW53, is the 3-pt a traditional rock shaft type, or can you apply down pressure to the implement? I see what looks like a traditional large hydraulic cylinder that controls the 3-pt height in photos. I haven’t had a chance to see or play with 5610 or UW53 in real life...

So looks like it will be about 2 months before the ToolCat will arrive. Dealer said they would have a more locked down time in the next week or so. Going to be a long 2 months, but already started ordering new shiny things for the machine!

I have very limited time in one, but was impressed with what I did see. They are def NOT digging machines. They will do it, but not well. The ToolCat can do many things, but it isn’t the best in any one thing. Versatility comes at a cost

That is right on par for a UW56 in NY. The UW53 because it has most of the UW56 as standard sits about 10k more at about 85K. The dealer had a UW56 when I was there 2 weeks ago and its price tag was 77K

Thanks! I am going to be going with a blower and am intrigued with the Musk Ox. They already have a few ToolCat customers and have had good success. https://www.muskoxmn.com/

Back to revive an old thread! I have been stewing for 2 years with regret about not buying the ToolCat. The Kubota has been an excellent machine, but I have been lusting for the ToolCat Submitted an order today for a brand new 2023 UW53. It should be here in about 2 months and should have a...

Did you get new head bolts the last time you took it off? Head bolts are one and done because they stretch. Cannot be used more than once.

That quote looks about right based on a quote I recently got for a 5610. I was not able to make a deal as the dealer was way high and did not follow through. I really wanted the Toolcat, but ended up with a Kubota LX3310 completely outfitted for about 35k less than the dealers Toolcat and...

Quick Update - So I went to my local Bobcat dealer last week to get a quote on a new 5610. Sales rep was very knowledgeable on the product. That's where things started to take a turn.... First glance at the quote provided a bit of sticker shock. I thought I had a pretty good idea what the...

I'm planning on visiting our local dealer this week about a 5610. It seems almost impossible to find a quality 5610 used, and the few that do pop up that are newer are almost at MSRP new. That said, does a new Toolcat come with a bucket, or do you need to purchase it as an add-on attachment?

Hi All, First post and prospective 5610 buyer. I am doing my due diligence before purchasing for recreational/personal use around the house. I searched the forum, but did not really find an answer. Do the Toolcat's have dedicated window defroster vents or just operator/passenger vents that...
