Tractor News Finally got my new CT 2025

[cavediver usa]

It is my first tractor. I have a grapple, pallet forks, and a 3rd function valve coming. Should be delivered on Monday. Does anyone have any tips on installing the valve. If anyone has a electronic copy of the service manual they would like to share would be greatly appreciated.

Congrats. I have a CT235 from Bobcat - back before they stopped selling tractors and then began selling again.

I’ve had mine roughly 10 years and it’s been good to me.

I just bought mine. If you don't mind my asking how much was the third function?

I bought a universal kit from Summit for $499. However it doesn't come with the correct fittings for the CT2025 with the FL7 loader. I am in the process of returning it and getting the kit from WR long, kit #VKBCFL7 it's $830. However it comes with all the necessary hoses and fittings, and it's tractor and loader specific. I'll post some pics when I get it and while I'm doing the install. Maybe do a video since I can't find one anywhere online. It'll be helpful to people in the future. My grapple and forks came from Skid Steer Attachment Depot – Skid Steer Attachment Depot carries high quality skid steer, excavator, mini skid steer and tractor attachments and more. Browse our online catalog.. They have great prices and shipping costs.

Thanks for the info. Can you still add the kit if you have two rear remotes?

Nice tractor.

Was just about to pull the trigger on a CT2535, but got a little carried away and bought the CT5545. Still haven’t received it yet, waiting on 3rd function valve.

I'm not sure. If your rear remote has a power beyond port it shouldn't be a problem. If not it would be a pain but you could T into the existing lines.

Yes the 3rd function kit and the remote valves can be installed at the same time.

Do the Bobcat dealers not have access to the Kioti 3rd function kits to sell and install?

 

[Bobcat Tractor Mac]

The bobcat loader is different from the Kioti loader. Bobcat does have 3rd function kits available. The Bobcat Kit number is 7392994 for the FL7 loader installed on a CT2025.

I have been waiting on the 3rd function kit for my CT5545. Was told yesterday that the kits are hard to come by right now due to supply chain issues as a result of COVID. My dealer was having the kit created from individual parts and expects it next week.

I signed the contract on my CT2540, which happened to be in stock at one of the dealers branches, at the end of November. Got the forks, rotary cutter, top-n-tilt, and 3rd function in. The dealer is still waiting on the box blade and mid pto. There must be high demand or they’re still behind due to the COVID garbage.

 

[Bobcat Tractor Mac]

The Compact Tractor business, Under 40 PTO HP Tractors was up 34% in December VS 2019 December and up 21% for the year. This growth has caused a shortage. Also a implement supplier from Tennessee has averaged 30% of the staff out sick with COVID this month.
