bobcat ct235

Have any of you guys replaced the seat on any of the CT models: if so with what make or brand, and how did it function? Need to replace on my 2009 CT235.

So the rear end in my ct235 is quiet until it gets up to temp then it only gets whiny when it gets under a load. Even cutting the wheels and turning the tractor around will make it start whining but as long as I stay on flat level ground and no hills it’s quite as a mouse. I’ve had the tractor...

I’m looking for a Bobcat 2010, CT235 plate, meter or instrument panel. I tried Bobcat dealers, warehouse & many, many web searches. None to be found. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys, new to the forum . I have a 2010 CT235 and I’m looking for part # 6697526- plate, meter which is the instrument panel. National BobCat warehouse has no stock but they did tell that the dealers have access to nation wide inventory of other dealers. My local dealer, with 5 stores, has...

i have likely already posted about my hour meter not working but hoping someone has some easy steps to help diagnose. Have also posted about my dash lights not working but really don't care about those. Hour meter sure is nice for service intervals. Thanks, Winston

I'm hoping to buy a pto wood splitter. Mine is about 2008 model & went by stats posted on Bobcat webpage so hopefully they didn't change from that time to when they discontinued the model. Know basic tractor is Kioti CK35 but not sure if any of the hydraulic system was changed. Basic stats of...

I have a CT235 with a badly rusted rear wheel, and I'm worried it will fail soon. I'm struggling to find out what the part number is. The parts departments aren't much help, because the system doesn't seem to have much detail, and I don't want to order the wrong one. The wheel is 19.5x12.25, and...

I lot a bolt out of the go peddle so it no workee - just flops front to back. I am pretty sure it is metric. Its bolt #4 in the attachment. Dealer has one, but I am sure I have one in my bolt collection. Just trying to save time. Thanks Title: HST Control 2 Group Model Number: CT235 Serial...

My Bobcat tractor is leaking diesel. Believe its 2010/11 year (bought used 75 hrs on it back in 2014). Its been great but now seems to be leaking from tank area as it drips or at least flows some onto the deck hst peddle side when working the tractor & its wet above that. Hoping it is just...

My 2008 CT235 has been leaking fluid out the bottom opening of the hydrostat motor case for quite a while but slowly getting worse. Reading the manual and looking at part drawings would lead me to believe the motor has a seal leaking. The motor has numerous seals and I am very Leary of tearing...

Hello all, I am considering selling my 2010 CT235 with 94hrs, I am not having much luck with trying to come up with a price to start. Tractor is in North Idaho near CDA. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi folks, Just starting to put my CT235 to work this year and thought I was losing power b/c it was really struggling just to move at full chat in high gear on a flat surface. After some tinkering it looks like my brakes are dragging pretty hard. Is this something that I can adjust...

No big deal but getting a good read on my hydraulic dip stick has always been a bit of a mystery to me. If my tractor has been sitting a long time I can pull it out and there may not be anything on the stick. I can put it back in and one side might show at the add mark and the other side about...

My first post on here and I must say what a great forum and members! As the title states my 2009 CT235 would not turn over and start. I did however determine the problem and fix it thanks to this forum. I am basically writing this for the search engine and the next person who has the same...

Hey folks, My 2011 CT235 (<200 hrs) is demonstrating some electrical issues in which it will not start regardless of how much current is available at the battery terminals (e.g. new 700CCA battery plus 200A in booster). Basically it *acts* like a dead battery when i turn the start switch. The...

Hey folks, Have a low hour 2011 CT235 that has a problem with creeping corrosion around the plate that the battery sits on and the oil (?) cooler lines that pass through it. I'm not that worried about the battery, but am concerned that I'm going to have an oil leak/dump when those fittings...

My dash lights don't work, fuse is good, all other lights work as they should. Have both high and low beam headlights. Any ideas? :confused:

Hi, bushhogging about dark last night & all sudden tractor died of course out in far end field. Fuel & not overheated. Called it day. No noise when turn key to run or try start. Horn works, glow plug comes on, battery charge good. Was hoping not fuel injector as when died it was like ran...

My options have been narrowed down to a brand spanking new Branson 3015R for $18K, NUF SAID!! Or a yet to be seen 2009 Bobcat CT235 with less than 200 hours for an asking price of $12.5K maybe with bushhog, might be able to get them down a bit. It is from a co-workers inlaw; garage queen...

It seems prices for these things are all over the place on Tractor House. The lowest I have seen is $9900 for an 09 with average hours up to almost $17k for a low hour 2011. Numerous others in the $10k- $13k range. Thats a big spread! Where do you think a 2009 with low hours belongs? My...

Hello all. New to the forum but will probably check it out more often when problems or questions arise. Recently purchased a used ct235 with 147hrs with allot of attachments. I then found a guy selling the mid mount mower. I got it for 500 bucks with all mounting parts. Im slowly cleaning...

I looked at a 2012 CT235 to purchase that is having a problem. It has rear remotes, and one of the levers was left in the detent ON, without anything connected to the remote. As a result, the tractor was run for quite some time (multiple uses) with the hydraulics deadheading, and the pump...

Had been brush hogging, came home, backed tractor off trailer, started forward and she died. Ignition was dead. After inspecting fuses I found a blown 5amp fuse labeled Operational control unit/switched power relay. Although I know not recommended my seat safety switch is bypassed and has been...

Hey all. Doing a little brush clearing last night with a grapple and suddenly my loader stopped lifting. The loader was about midway through travel when I noticed it, so I unloaded the grapple and pulled to a flat area. The loader would lower fine, but wouldn't go up. The loader is now all...

Thought I might show what is behind the cover right under the steering wheel. 4 bolts to be taken off with a 10mm socket. My power steering hose from pump to hydraulic block had a hole rubbed in it. I guess it took about 10 years to happen. I have it out and waiting for Monday hoping to have a...

(sorry for the title, tried to get fancy with the degree sign, that's what i get) Hey folks, Tried running the CT235 yesterday after it sat for a few weeks in this little cold snap. The tractor started right up, I let it idle for 10-15 mins while I was working on some other stuff. I went to...

I wasnt to start off thanking some folks for helping me. I had a lot of questions, and being hydraulics and wiring impaird did not help much. I also suffer from senior moments whick males reading and following direction fun. So lets get started with the sources that made this possible for me...

Greetings all, So I was running the CT235 and had stopped to adjust the blade. Set park brake got off running tractor. Got back on and forgot brake set. Tractor was at an idle and I stepped on the forward pedal and of course it stalled. I reset everything and tried to restart tractor. I could...

Heeeellllp!! Leave it to me to find an unusual problem. My hood is shut and the pin than connects the cable to the latch has come out. I cannot find a way to unlatch. Unable to remove the bottom hood panels and if I could I don't think it would help. I'm back. Was able to drill a 1/4" hole...

I have a 2009 bobcat ct 235. I have no glow plug light on the dash and the tractor won't turn over without jumping the starter solenoid.i have checked all the dead man/safety switches and fuses. I have cleaned all the grounds and battery terminals and checked all the relays. Am I missing...

Which deal should I go with below, both asking $12,900? Is price good / bad? Any other thoughts? Bobcat CT235 compact tractor loader with under 900 hours 2015 Branson 2400h with 38 hours

Hello all!. Was wondering if I could get a little help with a hard starting Bobcat CT235? My bobcat will roll over and roll over, it will pick up speed as it goes, lots of black smoke while it's trying to start and then finally it seems like it picks up on a few cylinders, and spits and sputters...

I have a 2009 CT235 that will crank the starter, but won't start. When I turn the key on I don't get the familiar "click" from the fuel solenoid, I get a 3 or 4 second buzz. I tested the 2 wires on the solenoid plug and one is hot for 3 or 4 seconds and the other one is dead. I have...

Hello all. Pleeeease be patient but I'm probably going to be the most ignorant new tractor owner ever. Mostly because I am not mechanically inclined in the least, so sometimes even the lingo is going to leave me with a blank stare. BUT! I try hard :laughing:. So I'm building a small horse...

It was running, no pto, I set the brake got off the seat and it started to stall. I sat down it kept running, I got off again it started to stall and I sat down, it kept running. Verified the brake was set, it was. Got off, it stalled, got back on and it won't turn over. Turn the key, the...

Hi all, I didn't change the fuel filter correctly and got air into the system...no starty. Any tips on bleeding the air? Thanks!

I have a 2009 CT235 that I have a reoccurring problem with. The bolts that connect the transmission and differential keep loosening up. About 4 times a year (depending on my use) I have to pull the seat and retighten the bolts (and 2 nuts on the pilot studs). I have loctited the bolts 2 times...

My effort for a bucket level indicator. When the bucket is level on the ground see photo one. when bucket is in dig position see photo two. A piece of 3/8" rebar, small section of 1/2" pipe. Upper mount a small piece of 3/16" flat metal, lower mount a small piece of 1/4" flat metal.

Can someone please inform me what is the Bolt pattern on the rear wheels of my CT 235? I measure 6 at 6 5/8" dia (center of bolt to center of bolt), but I know it is a metric pattern. distances along the circle ar close to 3 3/8+" Dealer gave me the following out of his manuals for my 15-19.5...

I just installed a double rear aux hydraulic kit on my bobcat and now the 3 point will not raise- it is completely in down position. Any idea what I need to do. I did not do any adjusting on the hydraulic kits.

I've got a new issue. When i bought the tractor, it had a slight hydraulic leak at a fitting on one of the hydraulic cylinders. The fitting had obviously been changed by a previous owner. It was leaking where it threaded into the cylinder. It got worse, so i decided to address it. I went to...

Recently I had my first two problems with my Bobcat first was a hydraulic leak on the FEL loader joystick control valve, which when I have more time I will detail completely, but for now on to my second more pressing issue During the summer I started a dirt moving project and used a tank full...

After used purchase I found someone had not just stripped the drain plugs on my oil pan but had broken the cast aluminum all around the plugs. I JB welded them but have been nervous ever since so I broke down and ordered a new pan, gasket and drive shaft o-rings. I actually ended up ordering my...

I went and looked at a Bobcat CT235, which i believe is identical to the Kioti CK35. It has a FEL and the 6TB backhoe. The machine's hour meter reads 1222 hours. It's physically in pretty good shape. Dented hood with random scrapes and scratches throughout. I guess the white paint makes the...

Greetings: I'm sure this question has been answered before, but can't find it. I need after market #'s and availability for Hydraulic oil filters (6695913 & 6695914). Thanks Gents---

Long story short-While doing some challenging grading/scraping with my BC CT 235, the clutch housing cracked and made a heck of an internal mess. Tucson BC dealer quoted $7600 to repair. Presently shopping for other quotes. Any Bobcat Yoda's out there know of good mechs on the S. AZ area that...

I got to break in the new grapple and put 14 more hours on the tractor. For those interested or considering, here are a few informative comments about my order and installation. Application: Bobcat CT235 with 7TL loader and 7TB backhoe; dual rear remotes As beneficiary of some of EAs...

Pictures of my Harbor Freight work light and box for pins, etc. and also a little larger tool box. The light is acturally a fog light and comes two to a package and complete with switch. The Bobcat already has a swich activated wire in place for the work light. Pictures taken in shed so light...

Will ramble some here, not required reading though. This afternoon I parked my tractor after mowing some. Went back to crank up a little later and nothing. Lights all worked bright, horn blew. Broke out the meter and got 12.75volts at the big starter terminal, nothing at the small solenoid...

I have read numerous posts on troubles with the hydrostat pedal not returning properly. Seems to be different opinions or different cases of just what cures the problem. I know the original pedal return cylinder was part #6695874 and replaced with part #7022773. Seems the newer one maybe has...

My 2010 CT235 sprung a leak. I am attaching a picture of the location which is in red. The paint is all still tight around this but it appears that there might be a weld where the line connects to go into the tractor a pin hole leak in it??? Can't see or feel it but when the tractor is...

I started a thread in the Hydraulics forum on the front hydraulics install on my Bobcat CT235. Hope it helps. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/hydraulics/333045-bobcat-ct235-front-hydraulics-install.html

Well I finally got around to a bit of work today after the rain/snow the past few weeks. I am adding front hydraulics for the rear of my CT 235 to run a hay grapple. Some will say why did you not go with a 3rd function set up on the loader handle, but pricing made that a bit of a stretch for me...

New to this forum. Just purchased a ct235 knowing nothing about Bobcat tractors. Got home and find they no longer make the tractors. Am I going to have a hard time finding parts for my new machine? Thanks :o

I don't seem to have any brakes on my 08 ct235. No resistance in the pedal either. Linkage looks good. Any ideas? something stupid I hope?

Tractor will run fine until you throttle down than it dies

My friend needs help with his tractor. A chipmunk crawled into his tractor and the dogs went after it. Needless to say they destroyed the wiring harness. Its now 15 degrees and we are not fixing it out side. Its sitting about 75' from the shop. Will it hurt it to pull it will the truck?

I recently acquired this tractor form a less than scrupulous individual. About a month I had a situation where the tractor would not turn over (wire to starter solenoid came off), at the time I checked the fuses and noticed the one for the alternator was missing. I replaced the fuse. Last week...

Did Bobcat change the fuel filter setup from the CK35? I acquired an oil filter the other day from the Kioti dealer around the corner and picked up a fuel filter while I was there. Without removing the bell it looks far too small to be the proper size.

On my 235, I have a leak coming from the center of the machine that after further inspection looks like it's coming from the inspection hole (about 2inches round) also it looks as if it's weeping from the top,(need to take seat off for better inspection) wondering if you guys/gals have seen...

I have bobcat ct 235, and seem to have this losing power problem. It started to lose lifting power, and now it is so low almost not lifting empty. Any thoughts?

Hi Guys! Would a 6 foot rotary mower be OK for Bobcat CT235? I am looking to purchase a Woods BB60x or BB72X. Bigger is not always better, Right? Thanks!

Next year I will need a rotary mower. Expectation will be for use on grass and weed control in a new wildflower acreage. A local ag supply is closing out this years model of King Kutter's Flex Hitch model. (domed) I like the price but am concerned about durability, the gearbox, and the 1-year...

I have a Bobcat CT235 that when put under a load (pulling a 5 foot rotary mower) bogs down under the load. It does not do it all the time. I am mowing at 2000 rpm and it will suddenly drop to 1000 and if I do not stop the mower it will completely stall. As soon as I disconnect the power to the...

Anyone using a 6 foot mower? I'm thinking about adding a 6' County LIne from TSC. I have a 5' but would like to be making fewer passes and don't think I could pull a 7'. This is just pasture and normally not over a foot or so tall, just trying to keep it down after the first hay cut.

My ct235 front end loader wont go down. Every thing else works fine. Can someone help?

Battery has decided to start leaking on my 2011 model. Anyone replace with a non bobcat brand, if so what?

Just wondering if there any deal on the ct235 in the northeast left thanks...

Please refresh my memory. On a ct235 with the STANDARD SEAT, is there any seat adjustment in addition to the normal front and back movement? In other words, can you adjust the seat UP AND DOWN? Can you adjust the TILT of the seat? Thanks.

I lost the nut that attaches the mower to the 3 point sway bar. Does anyone know the size of that nut? Thanks. MoKelly

I bought a new Ct235 paid $15,000 with upgraded seat, block heater, bobtach bucket, and rear work light. When I use the block heater it leaks antifreeze.

Just 37 hours on her but it has been a while since I have changed the engine oil so it is time. Rather than go to the distant Bobcat dealer, it would be nice to run to the local auto parts store and pick up a Purolator equivalent. Or a WIX. Can anyone help with the filter numbers for either...

Hey guys...new to the forum. I narrowed my new tractor purchase down to 3. Out of the 3; Bobcats specs are the best (most features, weighs most and fel lifts most). Also, they are at the lowest pricepoint. My concern is that resale and eventually service and parts are going to take a hit. I...

Any recommendations for a baler for the ct235? PTO HP requirements for older used balers are a little hard to find. I would think the 26.5 HP on the ct235 pto is not going to be enough for most balers. Thoughts?

No issues before other than the aforementioned get off tractor with brake locked and she shuts off, now after parking her for a week, I get on and turn the key and get all the normal lights except the glow plug light, it is 100 degrees today so maybe it does not need that, anyway I sit down and...

Anyone here using a grapple with rear remotes rather than a 3rd function valve on a CT2__? If so, how long are your hoses? I've seen the 3rd function valve advertised for over $800 bucks and can't justify the expense for right now. :)

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...

Did some searching here but am still a bit confused. First - What kind or brand of trailers are you using to haul your unit (please no brand bashing). I have a CT235 I am guessing I need a 6K to 10K double axle unit to haul with any attachments. I do have filled GP tires which are bigger than...

This is my first post. I put money down yesterday on a Bobcat 230. I almost went with a JD 3032E, but the many options included with the Bobcat helped make the decision. My question is horsepower. I will be using the tractor for box blading, rough and finish mowing, post holes, light loader...

Hi Guys...you may have seen my post "sell, haul or ship" trying to decide what to do with my awesome tractor because I have to move from Spokane WA to Knoxville, TN...temporarily in a condo! so I won't need my tractor until we find land. I think I am leaning toward selling it and saving up to...

Well, I am now wanting a backhoe for my 09 CT235. I've got all of 17 hours on her so far and no troubles (outside of having to replace the battery with a $200 Optima unit). I did a search, and there is very little discussion (and nothing helpful) on the questions I have, so here goes: Is...

As the title says, I've narrowed my choices down to a John Deere 3032e and Bobcat CT235. Their prices are pretty close with the Bobcat coming in a few hundred dollars less. Both tractors have pin on loaders. I'm looking for advice as to which I should choose. It will be used primarily for snow...

Hi guys, with the white stuff just around the corner, was thinking of picking up a set of tire chains for the rear tires on my CT235. Have the R-1 AG tires and believe tire size is 11.2-24. Anyone have the AG tires and think there may be clearance issues with the wheel well fender. I don't...

Went to the local Bobcat dealer yesterday and got a quote on a CT235. CT235 - FEL (can't remember the size), 72" box blade, 72" front snow plow $25,200 out-the-door, with 0% for 72mos. He said they'd weld three hooks on the bucket for me at no charge. I think they normally charge $125 for...

I think a few of you have installed this sealed unit. I am looking for the model number of the correct Optima battery. Thanks very much.

Hi there, I was doing a little light grading tonight and my CT235 (36hrs) just shut down (almost like the dead man's switch was opened). I looked at the dash and noted that the battery and oil pressure lights were lit. The tractor is sitting on a ~5-10% grade currently, but the crankcase oil...

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...

Hello everyone. I'd been lurking/researching tractors on and off for about 2 years, and the info provided on this forum truly helped solidify my decision to 1) get a Bobcat, 2) get the most HP I could afford, and 3) what features/options to get - special thanks to Steelstring and his "CT235...

Got a price of just over a grand on this set from local dealer. He also said he thinks the same setup that is used on the skidsteers is used on the CUTs. I assume this is the case. Weight is around 600 pounds for frame and forks. Anybody have a set of these? Seems like a lot of weight which...

So I finally got around to taking some pictures of the additional work lighting that I installed on my CT235. For the front work lights I wanted to get them up a little bit above the loader arms to get the beams out over the top of the bucket. The rear is tucked in next to the rops where it is...

Hey everyone! New CT235 owner here, actually picked it up in January and have to post some pics when I figure out how to do it! I am looking at the King Kutter 60 inch tiller from Everything attachments. Anyone have any experience with King Kutter and did you have to cut the PTO shaft at all...

Does anyone have a Bobcat 62'' snowblower on their 200 series tractor. When bobcat shipped the blower the shaft from the mid mount pto foward was 10'' to long( the collapsible shaft at the blower is fine). Yesterday the guy that put the blower on the tractor came up with a new shaft and it was...

So it poured rain here for about 12 hours, which then turned to snow, leaving an accumulation of about 12". Went out to start the machine this morning to blow the snow, which had spent the night outside in the rain, and the start position on the switch does nothing. Went through all the safety...

Well, I'm going to take the plunge! Now that Bobcat has reinstated the free loader program, does anyone have a recent price quote they can share? What price should I expect for a reasonably good deal? Here is what I'm thinking: CT235 HST Free Loader R4s Two rear remotes Upgraded seat...

I'm looking at getting a CT230 or CT235. The most that I would be doing with it is moving a bucket full of gravel up an down my private drive and clearing up debris. In the winter, I'll use a box blade to move some snow around and the front end loader to clean up larger drifts. I'm trying...

hello, started looking for a ct 235 got some good prices but need 2 know how fel performs and front mount 62in. snowblower. i am new to the whole compact scene so if anyone can help:confused:it would be very cool thanks!

A local dealer is advertising a Bobcat CT235 tractor with loader for $16k and change. He says it has a Kabota engine in it. I thought they had Daedong engines in them.

I live in upstate ny and got a price quote for a ct 235 of $23,000 which includes the front loader. we get a $2500 discount if we pay cash. The dealer is giving us $7000.00 for our trade ins which include a skidsteer and an ford 600 series tractor so the price comes down to about $15,500 or so...

Just got my CT235 with 32 hours on it. I really like it so far.

Sure is...:thumbsup:. My wife thinks I'm nuts doing the driveway on this weather :D:laughing:. I just told her that if the piles are to get frozen then there is no way I can do it this year but wait 'till next year and have our garage doors block by the piles. She then said... Oh, okay do it...

Hello I had a few questions hope that some one can help. Im a farm contractor and during the months of September through December we pick wine grapes in gondolas. We are curently using Kubota L2800 tractors to pull the gondolas. We rent the tractors from a person who rents out tractors. But we...

Was at the dealer today. Bobcat is making their own loaders now I guess and as a result the standard bucket now is 62". Anyone know if loader capacity has changed as well??

Hi all. I'm looking at buying my first tractor and have it narrowed down to a few. All roughly 35HP. Any suggestions on Deere 3038e vs Bobcat Ct235 vs MF 1635?? My use is mostly as a wooded landowner who will be doing some light woods clearing, mowing trails, moving rocks and wood, road...

I am looking at the john deere 3032e and the 3038e tractors Also thinking about the bobcat ct235. My questions about the john deeres are how much to get the cruise control and can you set any speed with it or just full speed for the range you are in? how usable is the two range hydro drive...

newbie to tbn has anyone ever checked out cozy cabs they seem fairly priced not the best looking but seem inexpensive just looking for some thouts at this point. 2010 ct235 :thumbsup:

Hi Folks, Is there an official 'maximum' weight of an attachment that you can hang off the back of a Bobcat (CT235 in this case) without voiding warranty? Does the general rule 'if you can lift it you can use it' apply, or is there a document somewhere that I could consult? In the attachment...

Hi Folks, Local dealer dropped off a CT235 for me to demo this weekend. If everything checks out, it will be the one I keep, so I'm partly checking the 'product' and partly checking out this particular tractor to see if there are any issues that give me pause. Most of the issues are just...

Hi Folks, I'm thinking of coming out of the gate with a hydraulic toplink on my (hopefully soon to be ordered) CT235, primarily so my rear remote doesn't go unused for too long :). Does anyone else here have one installed? Mark at Carter and Carter said he needs to know what the collapsed...

For sale Bobcat CT235, attachments, and 18 ft. trailer for sale. Listed in the "Classified" section under "Private Party Ads". Bought tractor new in June 2009

Does anyone installed a canopy on theirs? I'm looking on easy ON and Off. Been searching the net but want to check here if anyone had one already on their machine. Pics or link is appreciated... Thanks.

Anyone here put grapple on their CT235? I've been thinking about it but not sure how I will control it. I have a rear remote that I'm thinking running the hose from the back to the front and put a quick connect coupler on the front. Then maybe control the open and close of the grapple by using...

Looking at a CT235. Quote is $16,700 delivered. Specs: R4 Bobtach w/FEL Ballast box Standard trim Adjustable seat. Decent, high, low?

L3400 vs. CT235. Both comparable tractors and both priced very close to each other. Only options will be FEL w/quick attach, R4's, Adj.seat and a ballast box. Which would you choose and why?

Good morning New here. I live in western Colorado with 3 acres, two horses, a dog and two cats, and trying to keep up with leveling the pasture so the flood irrigation works, the new landscaping and snow removal - I'm getting too old for the blower and the small Sears garden tractor with the...

My CT235 is not here yet but am preparing for it's arrival. For some of the guys/gals that have same tractor... how long of a hose and size used? I am going to use a BB for now and will get a blade for snow removal in the future. I've been looking thru TSC web page and I just want to order it...

Finally, I bought the tractor after a few sleepless night :D deciding which one to get. Well it's not here yet but it is on the way. I drove for 3 hours just to see the man... Rick Wallace. And what I can say... he's the man :thumbsup: :drink: I would recomend him to anyone wanting to get a...

Been reading a lot on this site and still can't decide which one should I buy... Using it only around the house moving dirt, logs and driveway. Any advise for newbie? I don't know anything about tractor but want to fix my backyard on my own. I got 4 acres with a lot of woods. How 'bout those...

Just completed 50 hr. service (65 hrs. on tractor). After changing hyd. fluid and filters I noticed the 3 pt. hitch takes 5 secs. to start lifting and thats after cycling it through several cycles. Lifts find, just slow to start. I haven't used the tph a lot but I don't remember it being that...

Hooray for me. :) I finally have a real tractor, no more Iseki tractor I was too big to sit on. Plus no more 2wd and grinding gears. Lol, when they dropped off the 235, they couldn't put the Iseki in gear. I had to drive it up the ramp for them. I received the 7TL loader, filled R4...

Got a price on a brand new 2010 CT235 yesterday, with the plastic still on it. Out-the-door price $16,900 including PA sales tax for the tractor, the Bobtach loader, R4 tires. Dealer said price difference is $900 between the CT230 and the CT235... Any input is appreciated... This was the...

Hey all, I recreated the service checklist out of the owners manual so that I can have it with me when I am doing my service, I (think) attached the excel spreadsheet if any of you want to use it I guess I did not, this forum apparently does not support and excel attachment, if anyone wants it...

Hey Guys, Looking to buy soon. I'll be doing some dirt work to my property which includes a 150' x 4' tall retaining wall and a lot of leveling (BB work). When I'm not playing in the dirt the tractor is going to be used to finish mow around 2 acres. My property is moderately hilly in just a...

Well fellow tractor guys any one have an opinion on the different mowers for lawn mowing.I havent bought a mower yet as we this have much snow but never too early to start to kook at options.Thanks in advance for any and all directions.CT235

I got a price on a ct 230 with FEL for $14821.00. Ct 235 with FEL add $758.00. This price just dropped $3610.00 with the new free front end loader deal offer in march. Is this a good price or can i do better? I can't get the 0% offer at this price.

My b7800 is in the shop with a broken rear diff lock. I'm having trouble with the warranty, kubota doesnt want to fix it so the dealer was kind enough to offer me a ct235 until we get the warranty stuff worked out. So I have to thank Pristows sales and service in johnstown pa for the loaner...

Please help me out a lil. I'm looking @ 235 with FEL,RM 5', 5'BB, maybe harrow? what would you consider a good price in Ga/Al? I'm comparing to though no way the same: Kubota BX2660 4' package with harrow 15995 16ft trailer included.

Can someone tell me where the brake pedals are on this tractor ? I'm in the process of looking for a new tractor and this is one of the things I'm looking at.

I am considering a CT235 to do alot of brush cutting, tilling and loader work and maintain my yard with a finish mower. Have not decided on a a mid mount or 3pt as the cost for the mid PTO and deck is alot but it is nice option . One thing I have not noticed does this tractor have steering...

I have a deposit down on a CT230. My dealer just called and said Bobcat is offering a $3500 rebate and free loader on the CT235 for anyone who already has a deposit on the CT230 due to the long wait time on the CT230. Price out the door (tax included) would be $13,237 -vs- $12,770 for the 230...

The deal is just too good, so I am ordering a CT230 today. The standard tires, according to Bobcat West, are 7-16 front and 9.5-24 rear AGs. That is very strange, considering that I bought a Kioti CK30 with 7-14 and 11.2-24 AGs before. The tires on the Bobcat will substantially change the...

Hi all. I've been reading all the posts on here for a few days and decided to jump in. I am in the market for a new tractor and actually started out thinking MF 2605 or NHTT45 when I began to read the Bobcat forum. I got a price of $15400 for a stripped down 2wd 2605 w/ FEL and $15200 for the...

I'm in the market to buy a 3000-lb wt category w/ 30+ hp tractor. I got quotes as following: Kioti CT30 HST w/FEL = $16,800 Kioti CT35 HST w/ FEL = $19,000 TYM 353 Gear w/ FEL = 19,500 But now I am looking at BobCat because of their soon-ending $3500 rebate + 0% int or free FEL deal. I think...

anyone have a 225-230-235 with the belly mower? i know the week-in-week-out work will be finish mowing about 2 acres and bush hogging another 4, and am considering the CT235. however...the reason i'm thinking about the bobcat/kioti is that i'm going to be moving a LOT of dirt - probably 500...

What is the difference in these two tractors? Is it worth more money for the CT335? Thanks guys.

So I just got my 235 Friday and there are several very small rust spots apparent. I know it has been sitting in the dealers yard, but I feel it should have been painted better. There are two spots about the size of a penny on the loader arm, where the paint is actually chipping. The loader...

I am looking seriously at the CT235. Appears to be identical to CK35 and I know it is a rebadge Kioti. The ground clearance is listed at 9.9 for Bobcat and nearly 14 for the Kioti. Are they measuring differently or what? I think clearance will be an issue getting firewood in my woods, which...

Hello all. :) I am new here as of today. I have been reading posts on this forum for awhile and really like it here. I live in the NE corner of South Dakota and live on a farm right next to where I grew up. I am into the continuous improvements of the farmsite along with home remodeling...

considering both, what have folks been paying for these, i'm looking at large as i can get mid mount for ct122 and large as i can get rough cut for ct235 what deck widths will be available thanks
