Bobcat CT230

[elothian]

My tractor will be transported to me from Vermont on Monday. Next weekend I would like to do the 50 hour maintenance as it is close. I know that Bobcat and Kioti tractors are similar (made by same manufacturer). Can I use the same filters for my tractor as the CK30. I have a Kioti dealer 10 miles from my house.

Thanks,
Eric

Welcome from just up the road near St. Louis.

I have a CT235 and have been using the CK35 filters and they are the same size and work fine.

I see no reason the CK30 filters won't work for you.

Thanks MoKelly. I found a Bobcat dealer that had a majority of the parts in stock. I know I'm opening up a can of worms here but what is your thoughts on conventional vs. synthetic oil. We have had Massey Ferguson tractors in the family for over 40 years and we have never used synthetic. I'm open to synthetic on my Bobcat (50 hour oil change) but wanted to get perspective from members.

Thanks,
Eric
