Bobcat Ct 225 - Reverse speed problem too slow

hb2 · Dec 20, 2019

Hello everyone!

I have just purchased the Bobcat CT 225 (2009) tractor.
It's really slow to REVERSE. Even when I put the transmission on high. About 3-4 km / h (1.5 m / h).
Is there an adjustment to be made to resolve this problem?
Thank you !

Also if there is anyone who needs the user manual, I have a digital version (PDF).

Not sure it is your problem but here is the adjustment procedure from the manual. I believe I have read of someone having a bent pedal before, might want to check that out.

Check the pedal. We have seen this many times. If the previous owner stood on the back side of the pedal, it can bend down and limit your reverse speed.

Hope this helps

My pedal was bent when i bought mine. Both forward and reverse were slow. Very easily fixed. I've considered beefing up the pedal by welding on some steel.

here's the details. TractorData.com Bobcat CT225 tractor information and the Kioti CK35. TractorData.com Kioti CK35 tractor information notice the Kioti has much better specs.. the Kioti CK27 more closely matches the Bobcat CT225. but there are differences, which a close look will point out.. Bobcat will have the tractors built to their specs, which could be inferior to Kioti, to save money..
