Yeah that's what I liked about the Kubota machines you can't beat pilot hydraulics but sadly it seems like many are going for electronic controls these days. I worked with a utility installation crew that ran SVL-90-2's. And even through our brutal winters and their tracks half full of frozen mud they just keep going. I do like how the cab door rolls up in to the roof or ceiling of the cab. At least if the engine dies and the arms are up you can still get out. And I do generally find the visibility pretty good and the cab comfortable but I am 5' 6" so I don't have the height problems that some people do.
Nice looking machine. Congrats. Seems like there is not a lot of love on here for Bobcat, probably from guys with much more experience than me, but mine have been great. It doesn’t hurt that I’ve got a great dealer. Good luck with your new toy.
Yes there’s no provisions to drain or fill with the sprocket on. My T300 was a breeze to change. Looks like I’m gonna sweat on this one. I’ve got the dealer info that sold it originally. Gonna call them Monday see if they have service history on it. The oil filter was just changed at 1212hrs. So there was just something serviced. I’m going to tilt the cab tomorrow and check everything else for dates. Pulling the tracks off and putting them back on aint to hateful.
