    Bobcat E50 Electrical

    My E50 has blown the cabHVAC fan switch three times. Bobcat tell us it is a diode. Has anyone else have this problem and if so is there a fix or modification. My machine has 1500hrs on it and only gets used in a/c mode. This is a high performance machine but we've had persistent hyd problems...

    Link Belt 2650CII Slow swing motor and one track motor is slow!

    not being a mechanic but I would think you may have one of your pumps not performing correctly. I've just had a similar problem on a Sumitomo SH200A1(just purchased) and I started - on the advice of experts - at the hyd motor on the drive which was lapped and bought into spec, then resealed the...

    Bobcat T770

    Looking at purchasing a new track loader and want a suspended suspension machine. ASV/Terex are out as I cannot afford the repairs for their undercarriage. I believe Cat has the same undercarriage but maybe there are some improvements on ASV.This leaves Bobcat T770 as my option. I have a JD328D...

    Deere or Bobcat

    Very happy with the Deere and would buy again. Ballsy unit that is not heavy on fuel. Nice creature comforts for the operators. We've had two electrical issues a) relay b) a/c thermostat. I find that there is a little delay in the forward and reverse but my operators don't think it is an issue -...

    building root rake

    mate, I think you may want to consider side thrust on your welds. You have quite a lot of leverage with those long tines. If you try to turn or hit a stump/root that send your machine sideways a bit. No amount of weld will hold it. You may want to consider a brace. Maybe a piece of flat steel...

    Help me pick a pond maker.

    Scrub Puller, Your showing a bit of experience here. Plenty of fuel been wasted by 'operators' travelling distance to fill their blade. They're the guys that end up with a washboard floor. Best way to keep a flat floor is with a full blade. Still say the little dozer with rippers is the way to...

    Help me pick a pond maker.

    Mate, go for the small unit - less hours, better grousers (and I assume undercarriage) plus it has a set of rippers and a PAT(I think from the photo) blade. I know the CTL's will do a lot of wonderful things but when the going gets rough and tough the dozer will still out there operating in it...
