CT235 was delivered on Aug. 19, just like the dealer said. Nice machine, can't wait to get using it. Landpride 72" finish mower, KK 5' tiller, BB2065, and away we go. Glad I went with the CT235 over the 2520, saved a lot of $$$.

Hey Toad, how's the 235 handle that tiller? I'm hoping to have the same stuff as you but with a 230. I'm a little concerned about a 5' tiller but would be nice to cover the tracks.

I don't know about the $1800 but I think the bump in power would be very nice. I have a 225 and find it almost underpowered when running a Bush Hog on hills. The 335 has 7 more hp.

Don't know what all you are going to be doing with your tractor, and $1800 is a lot of $$$$, but after you do 2 or 3 things and wished that you had had a little more power, you will be wishing that you had gone for the offer. Sounds like a lot of money, but in tractorland, HP ain't cheep.
If it were me , I would go for the offer while it is still there, plus you will have your tractor sooner.

I'll sell you my CT230 for $500 less than your dealer quoted! And I have it in stock!

Are you unhappy with your machine?

Opportunity knocks! I'm happy with the CT230 but would like the greater HP and if I had to do over again I would get the CT235 or greater. I almost purchased the CT225 (my original choice) but I was given a VERY good deal that I couldn't pass up on the CT230 because he had that in stock. I also received another VERY good deal from another dealer on the CT235 because that's what he had in stock but the dealer was ~150miles away. That was more than the CT230 but only by a few hundred bucks. The main issue with the Bobcats is that they are big and heavy and the extra HP would be better for the machine's size. Again, that's my opinion but I'm still very happy with the CT230. Now, if I stuck with my original plan on the CT225 I'm not sure I would be as happy.

Grand_Pooba,
I see you're in Wyoming county! I guess we're neighbors! I live in Honeoye Falls, just south of Rochester. What town do you live in?

I'm about 60 miles south east of you, near the town of Arcade. I've got a
CT230 also and I'm happy with it so far....but since my loader is still on back order all I've really done is a little back blading. My dealer told me it is supposed to ship on monday and with a little luck I'll have it installed by next weekend.

Ordered July 8th and still no clue as to when it's going to show up. This is absolutely ridiculous! I'm all for waiting for a good deal but I'm starting to really get ticked. If I had any idea it would take this long I would have negatiated a loaner. Live and learn.

My CT230 was ordered on 7-23, and it came in a couple of weeks ago,
sans loader. The loader came in a week ago, and the dealer started the
install Tuesday of this week. All according to them....I await my delivery.
Bobcat has announced closure of one of their two plants in ND.

Boy I hope you are being BS'ed. My dealer told me there was a labor dispute too but still said it should be here anytime. Sounds like it's time to start talking to him about a loaner (with a snow blower
)By any day what is that? If my dealer can say a build date of November, I would think yours would know if tractor was built or not. I was told they are final assembled in Minnesota and a week to ten days after that they are at dealer. Yeah it was a good deal but I think a few thousand more for a kubota or deere is sounding like a better deal.

Many, many people needed to save that 2-5 thousand. And, is that all you saved? I suppose that if you want a tractor right away, a person should purchase one that a dealer has on his lot.
Just my opinion
Im not above saving the money. My point is even if the tractros were $50 dollars if there arent any to sell who cares. If they cant make enough to fill orders, then the dealers should tell people 4-5 months out instead of the old any time now. Now we all wait while chores and winter will not.
