    Bobcat 843; Breaker Attachment?

    I just started looking for a used hydraulic breaker attachment. Does anyone have any incite on using a breaker on an 843 Bobcat? I have not verified the auxiliary hydraulics will operate one. What do you look for when purchasing one?

    Bobcat s650 hydraulic oil temp out of range high

    I recently purchased a 2014 bobcat s650 and it started giving me a code M0721 saying hydraulic oil temp out of range high. It only has about 1,020 hours. I was wondering what could be the cause to this? Or would I have to change the $700 sensor

    2005 Bobcat A300 High flow conversion

    I'm looking into converting a A300 to high flow sometime in the future. I like the idea of running a stump grinder with more gpm. Sounds like people have done this before. Any updates on a kit or someone know the parts involved?
