The local dealer dropped off my new CT235 today. It has the BobTach 7TL, 60-inch tiller, rear remotes 0-2, suspension seat, block heater (for Montana), GP tires . The dealer put rim guard fluid in front and back. I am working on some dike repairs for a spring fed pond and it was nice to be able to haul some clay with the loader. I will be using the tiller soon to prepare some game plots for birds. The best suprise is it fits in the shop with the ROPS up. I was thinking it was nip or tuck on the ROPS height. Fits just right. So far I like the machine (2hours).

Great pics of the new rig, and the awesome backyard.
Loading the fronts is not very common. What lead you to that decision?

Nice view. I have 41 hours on mine and love it, but can"t get it in the garage even with the ROPs half way.
Here's a tip: If you attach your rubber hydro-line caps together you will find they will stay up above the quicklinks instead of hanging down underneath the tractor.

Thanks for the tip. On the tires my dealer took it upon himself to do the fronts but I think it will be fine as I am going to be hanging stuff off the back like the tiller most of the time. The view from my place is the Mission Mountains in Montana. I truly appreciate that view.

I loaded the fronts as well because I have a BH hanging off the back and going up hill, the front end was so light it was hard to steer. Added a couple of hundred pounds when filled with high density foam. I also go very slow up hill now.
You cannot add weights to front with the FEL on- I know you all will say why not just put some weight in the bucket- that is fine UNLESS you are picking up gravel at the top of the hill and unloading it at the bottom of the hill.

Congrats. I have the same machine with 110 hours now. I have been happy.
I have a good friend who lives in Montana (moved from Missouri) and now he won't come back.

Manual says no to front filled tires. Good luck with any warranty issues if you have them.
I think mine is the 60-inch, not home to measure, on the front tires the dealer took that on himself to fill the fronts so I guess I have an argument if that causes warranty issues. I highly doubt that ends up being an issue that causes problems.

You may already be aware of this (if so please forgive me) Pay very close attention to the battery. Mine started to leak before 10 hrs. It really corrodes the battery box area. Many owners have replaced their batteries to eliminate the issue. I went with an Optima battery replacement. No issues since. Enjoy the tractor!!!

My CT-235 came with a 68" bucket. At first I thought it was too large but now I love it.
Btw I've had my Bobcat for a year and a half.

apparently based on the s/n there are 3 standard bucket sizes, the older was 68" then 62 and now 60, maybe next year it will be down to a 48, mine was bought under the assumption of a 62 but actually is a 60, just like my CT225 I had was a 25 instead of 27, seems bobcat can;t keep their spec consistent or straight, nor the dealer!

My 2009 CT230 has a 68" and wouldn't want anything smaller.

Nice tractor, great view. You'll be pleased with the 235. I've got 250 hr on my 2009 CT235. I've worked it pretty hard without any issues. I have the older FEL made by Rhino. I haven稚 had any trouble with mine but yours looks like it is a little heavier.
Good luck!
