Is there any way to add pics from phone or I have to transfer them to desktop?

 

[DEWFPO]

I send the jpg's to my desktop, then just attach them to my posts.

Here are the pics, last one is just what my toolcat looks like all taken apart. Pardon the mess with all my stuff in the garage. If you want/need any closer up or anything like that, let me know.

Quick question for some of you, I know I have read you wanna label the filters as you change them with the hrs that were on the unit when changed, whoever did them last only wrote the dates on mine. Just for my own piece of mind I would like to replace the filters, change the oil before spring once I start using it full time. I have located the oil fiter, fuel filter. There are two filters I see behind the cab below the bed, are these both the hydraulic fiters? Also I see there are what seems like 2 oil caps, one directly on top of engine that can technically only be accessed if passenger seat is removed and another rubber oil cab on right side of engine that seems like a fill cap that can be accessed through the access door on side of cab? Is my understanding of this correct?

 

[DEWFPO]

Thanks for the pics.

Yes, the two filters behind the cab are hydraulic fluid filters. I use the fill cap on the lower side of the engine for refilling the engine. I never touch the one on top of the valve cover.

Re: Glow Plug Testing

Has anyone tested the glow plugs on their Kubota engine? Is it easy to do?

On cold starts (after 20 seconds of glow plugs) the engine starts right up but sounds and feels like it running on 2 cylinders for 10-15 seconds before it sounds right and smooths out. I figure it wouldn't hurt to check the glow plugs in case 1 or 2 are misbehaving.

If I use the block heater, this doesn't happen.

Thanks, DEWFPO

I have a G Series and don't know how different it is from your D Series. Just enter the serial number, starts with A0W, that is zero, not letter O, on this page and all you need will be visible: Bobcat Genuine Parts Catalog Official Bobcat Company site

Lower Door Glass

Hey guys, I am in the market for a new Toolcat and I've noticed (by browsing bobcatpartsonline) that on newer units after a certain serial #, there is no more lower glass in the doors. Is that glass a problem child with breaks? It seems like having that lower glass could be very useful for seeing the ground. For those of you that have the lower glass, would you miss it if it were gone? Of course my dealer has no idea as apparently they don't sell many down here in the south.



Thanks!!

My TC has the lower glass and I'm glad it does as it offers better vision. I could get by without it, but I'm use to a open work station, so I like to see as much as I can. Sure, I could get by with no lower windows, why? I'm wondering why they offered them without windows. Maybe during forestry work or around animals?

 

[Gryfin]

My understanding is that the lower glass is not an option. It was simply there before and now it's not. The online configuration tool as well as the dealers software show no way to configure lower glass. I guess folks were having lots of breakage issues?

From the online parts catalog, the 2 doors seem to be identical other than the lower glass, so in theory you could buy doors from an earlier Series G with the lower glass and replace your new doors if it were a must have. Can imagine that 2 new TC doors would be expensive though...

Not a problem as far as I know. At least I haven't broke one.

I also could get by without them, since I don't recall using either one.

This is our 2017 5610 G Series with the lower glass:

Re: Lower Door Glass

Well, after years of lurking around reading about toolcats, I finally have one in my barn! After I checked out a new model with no lower door glass, I realized that I preferred the lower windows and was able to find a new 2018 5600 that had a few demo hours on it. Dealer made me a good offer and I took delivery this week! Thanks to everyone on this forum for taking the time to post about your machines. You all just cost me a lot of money.....

Re: Lower Door Glass

Congrats!

Yep, congratulations. Now you need a grapple and a mower for it!

Looks great. It looks like it is loaded up with options too.

90 inch bobcat finish mower has already been ordered! I have a 72inch cutter already as well as a grapple that I ran on my CTL. I'm afraid it's going to be too heavy at nearly 1000 lbs to run regularly, so I may be picking up a lighter weight one in the future

Just needs some hours on it! Which it will get in short order (as soon as my mower arrives)!

Since nobody responded, looks like you need to start a new thread with the error code in the title and more information.

If you don't know what series it is, post the first 4 digits of the serial number.
