looking at new toolcat

[laurencen]

just started looking at a new Toolcat, mine is in the 2005 series and it is working great but would like a few of the options such as high flow and better break out and having the air work all the time when needed

the 2005 has served me well and Bobcat has a few options and incentives to buy new and they are giving a decent trade in on my machine so given the 2020 model line any recommendations and down sides you could offer pros and cons of this new model

thanks

You will like the new ones. With traction control, you won't be spinning much and the front suspension is much better. The Doosan engine has a dry-pocket type block heater so it is easy to install.

:thumbsup: on our G Series.

great re traction, looking at the build everything is add on, I will not be having the radio option, got it in the skidsteer and ex and never use it, anything you recommend or would have liked

Order steps on both sides:

If it is a 5610 order the second set of remotes:

have to look at steps, its a 5600, do they still offer the lower door glass?

 

[Xfaxman]

Evidently not.

Xfaxman, have they done anything regarding the tip back of the bucket or forks when you raise the arms? figured I would ask, there is no option offered for this so maybe something standard or its the same as on the older A series models

 

[Xfaxman]

No experience with the older series, but remember reading they changed design of the lift arm.

It will depend somewhat on the rollback built into the fork frame and bucket.

The F Series with the 1 cubic yard Versahandler bucket:

The G Series with the same bucket:

the A series is terrible, lift the forks 2 foot of the ground and after curling back flat they are only a foot of the ground, not getting it for forks but they are nice to unload a pallet off the truck, i passed on the step, I rub lots on the sides and they stick out the sides, for sure they would take a hit, and I will miss the lower window in the door but can not think I ever used them, just looked cool, anyway it arrives July

thinking should have got a extra remote hydraulic for things like the chainsaw and log slitter, might have to add one, also a kill switch, opted for the key start instead of the keypad, the kill switch will shut the pump down in case I have a visitor wanting to steal it, pump the best option?
