    What to do with used rubber tracks?

    I have seen them used as bump stops on a dock. I cut mine into 4' or 6' length, lay them teeth down and drag behind my tractor for raking/refinishing a lawn or horse arena. Works well with the weight of the track

    2007 Bobcat S150 With Delux Instrument Panel Fuel Shut Off Solenoid Issues

    I had the same thing happen to me on a Bobcat S175. Just to get it off the job, I would undo the batter and usually after letting it sit unplugged for about 3-5 minutes, it would clear any codes and I could start it up and everything would run good again. Eventually, I had to just replace the...

    Why dont you use a Rototilt?

    I have asked this same question many times. I think these are the best attachments out there for an excavator. I believe one of the biggest draw backs for them is the price. I don't know what you would pay for one in Europe, but I priced one out for a Kubota KX121-3 and it came out to over...

    Got a new 200D LC

    I rented a Kubota KX080-4 for a project at my sisters house a couple of week ago. I was very impressed with it. I was pushing over 10 inch diameter trees with no problem. Then I was grabbing the bigger stumps out with little resistance. Overall I was very happy with the machine. Definitely on my...

    Issue with Bobcat S175

    I figured out that the warning light I was getting was a Fuel Shutoff Solenoid warning. Basically the Fuel Solenoid was getting a signal to shut off the fuel and that is why it was stalling. I just replaced the fuel solenoid and it hasn't done it since. Thanks again for the help swanny and willie!!
