Awesome video. You covered so many of the questions I’ve had about capacity, tonnage, towing, E35 size compared, other manufactures, etc. so great. Thank you!

I use to work for a competitive company of bob cat i tested there loaders to ours . They have good stuff along with some crap . Like other companies

This is really neat

There is no way with that “reach” you can lift 2,400

DO NOT BUY ANY KUBOTA PRODUCT I BOUGHT A NEW KUBOTA LX 4020 TRACTOR TO USE FOR A SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS IN BRIAN HEAD, UT. I HAD TO PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO AS IT WAS THE ONLY KUBOTA DEALERSHIP WITHIN A 1000 MILE SEARCH TO HAVE THE TRACTOR I NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED. The Dealership, Wickham Tractor in Fort Collins, CO sold me the tractor and added Howes diesel treatment to the tank as well as selling me the remainder of the bottle to use to prevent the fuel from jelling. I Used as per specs. Tractor was purchased on 11/21/23 and I picked it up and transported it back to UT. Tractor was in operation for 17.2 hours before it would not start. Local Kubota dealerships said they would not come out to try to fix it as we did not buy it from them. Took it to Las Vegas, NV, as they were closest Kubota dealership, dropped off on 1/8/24 at 730 am. Kubota dealership said the fuel smelled funny so it wasn't covered under warranty and said $12000.00 plus to fix. The DPF was completely clogged and the only codes were low temp MAF sensor and no communication with EGR. Western area rep said there was no fuel to test because I drained it. This is a Lie. Had more than 6 gallons of fuel in it when i dropped it off. I have all the emails and correspondences and text messages, proving they denied coverage for adding a fuel additive. Sergio at Kubota customer service said, “When I put fuel in the tractor it voided warranty.” Apco, the Kubota dealership in Las Vegas, sent out the injectors for testing they came back as bad due to fuel contamination on 1/23/24. Kubota persisted in their point of me putting bad fuel in the Tractor. When I called the tester, I pressed about the fuel contamination. The person who did the test, said it was visible metal in the injectors that most likely came from the high pressure fuel pump. There was no metal in the fuel tank, fuel filter or fuel water separator. The dealership i bought the tractor from said they were the only ones that could help me at this point due to Kubota policy. Eddie at Wickham tractor told me I needed to bring the tractor back to them, 1367 miles round trip. and they would sell me a new one because I had broken this one. And would see about trying to fix the one I had already bought for a discount. I transported the tractor back to Greely, CO to Wickham on 1/18/24 they tested the fuel that was still in the filters and it came back as fine 2/8/24 so they were going to replace the entire engine. This could take between 3 to 9 months. My warranty coverage says all warranty work to be completed within 30 days. On 2/28/24 I found out there was internal Kubota Service Bulletin that came out to all the dealers the week before I bought the tractor stating the very problems my tractor was having. They knew this, and still denied coverage, and finally, when I presented this fraud to Kubota, on 3/7/24 Wickham tractor said they were going to replace the tractor with a new one, but wouldn't give me a timeline of when I would get a new one and I would have the expense of picking it up from them verses a local dealership. These delays have cost me my business and reputation to move snow I had to pay out my competitors and cancel and refund all my contracts. A service bulletin for this tractor was issued before I bought it stating this very problem. and it was to be fixed at Kubotas expense. They knew the problem existed, they tried to blame it on me for adding fuel supplement, they tried to coerce me into buying a new tractor on top of the broken one so i didn't lose my business. they refused to cover the cost of repair until i proved their fraud, and intent by pushing the narrative and then changing and deleting emails. I have all emails and correspondence showing the timeline, the fraud and intent.

The rubberized washer should go on top of the canopy so it doesn’t leak

Just hit 100 on my ct2025. Good video. Thanks.

I installed one on my 42 its nice to have

Greatly appreciate your videos. Spent a lot of time looking for the right tractor for my property. Settled on the Bobcat largely due to your videos. Bought a CT5545HST with bucket, brush hog, and Fisher plow. Grew up on dairy farms in MN, but have been in the Army for a long time and away from farms. You brought me back up to speed on even the little things. My thanks, and my best to you. --Greg

For that shaft that broke, I don't see any shearpins to protect it, just the slip clutch on the pto shaft it's self, but that should be enough to protect it.

Where the heck do you have snow already?

Thank you!👍👍👍

Do i need to add a vent line

Great Video. Any updates on the transmission problems. I was looking at getting a 2024, your thoughts?

Nice video as always. Thanks for sharing.

Really helpful video overview. Thanks for putting this together.

Enjoy your videos, keep them coming.

Keep these kinds of videos coming. Great format and informational.

Love the sound of those hood cylinders!

No one out services you

Hey have the same tractor. New to tractors 🚜 myself. Mine is just under 30hours. Having a heck of a time getting it to engaged the (what I call 4x4x) I think technically it’s 2 wheel assist or something. Sometimes it will work other times nope she won’t kick in at all. Any ideas on why? Or did anyone have the same issue

Thanks. 🙏

Swap the Lemon for a new step up with full warranty. First sign of trouble, swap it again. They OWE you!

I wonder if it’s worth contacting Bobcat with these results and see what they say about your analysis

changing the same belt on a linkbelt 350x4 everything is the same just bigger, thank you sir

Link and it was 20 weeks not 20 months for the top and tilt at fit right hydraulics LOL kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWOqhI2EjNZ4atk

We need more videos.

My CT5555 does not call for a 50 hour engine oil change however I just hit 50 hours and I'm going to add the engine oil and filter to my 50 hour service. Along with lubing the chassis. Also got the secondary inner air filter since my primary air filter was very dusty when I blew it out at 50 hours. I have recently done some upgrades to my tractor and will try to post a video of those upgrades on my KZbin page in the next couple days @ Keppy Paul

I got my updated letter with the stickers last week

Thank you. Excellent information

I appreciate you sharing. I just purchased a Ct2025 and I take maintenance very seriously to almost a OCD level haha. Just wanted my investment to last longer and trouble free for as long as possible. Would like to see your oil change sample results to see if 250 hrs is good or should I be changing it sooner thanks

Great job outlining the entire process

Maybe you bring that thing up here and I will keep it “cooler”

Excuses

I'm just in the market for a tractor and looking at the Bobcat CT2025. Was wondering if you had any problems with it? I know Kioti and Bobcat are pretty much the same. Any other insight you could give me? Thanks

Informative video and nice install. That linked pedal will be my next upgrade for sure. A real time saver.

All of the issues appear to be legendary on this unit. Unless these units are run flat out all the time, they just fail. At least that is what my dealer told me. I wish the sales department would relay that info before point of sale. Same issues exactly at <500 miles on mine while using it on my hobby farm. Fixed it. Sold it. Will never own one again. Went Honda - and two years later not a single issue. .

Thank you for the video it saved me a lot of headaches 👍

Changing an AC belt on a Case 210B with the same Isuzu engine and this video helped me tremendously! Thank you!!

Great videos! Apparently bobcat has discontinued the original hydraulic/ hydrostatic fluid ? What fluid do you suggest ?

Thank you for covering all the different topics here, i need to start saving for this small investment. If it helps i went out and checked my clutch free play, and it rattles like yours did after adjusting,

Love your videos as their very informative. I'm thinking your very concerned about caring for your CT-5555 and I just wanted to suggest you consider using FilterMag products as they provide an additional layer of protection for your tractor and the fluids. Your fuel, engine and hydrostat filters would take a FTM-SS365PR and fits 3.5" to 4" filters and can be found at Summit Racing. The LTM2 is for the larger Hydraulic filter that is 4.25" in diameter for that filter. But it is only available directly from FilterMag since they discontinued the production for that size. You will need to call them directly for that LTM2 product as it has been discontinued as far as production goes and is not listed on their website. That LTM2 fits filters from 3.6" to 4.3". I only have 30 hours on my new CT-5555 and am anxious to get them on especially after watching your video on this 400 hour service and what you found as well as your oil analysis video of those results. Note: their not cheap but I use them on every filter equipped engine that I own. I was going to wait for funds to recover a bit before ordering but after watching your videos I bought them all today.

Great video thanks for sharing very interested in purchasing this model I have been just doing my homework before making a purchase

I recently did my 50 hour service. I got all my fluid at the dealer. I was surprised that the dealer uses conventional oil. If you are using synthetic, maybe that is why you have some burning off. Side note, I got a letter from Bobcat today showing updated maintenance intervals such as the first oil change at 50 hours.

Thanks for your Bobcat CT videos - I just did the 50 hr service on my CT2040. It looks like Bobcat colors the bolt head orange for those that are used in common maintenance. Does anyone know why the small bolt head is colored orange that is located on the top of the front drive axle housing just inside the front wheels? I dont see these referenced anywhere in the manual - Bobcat parts online just shows "bolt". At this location only thing I can think of is to vent air when doing the front axle drain and change?? Too small for a fill port Stumped.

I calibrated my 5555 and the issue went away . I looked it up how to do it something about turning key on and pushing forward all the way down let off and then pushing reverse all the way down and then let off and then I started it seems to work way better.

What did you pay for this machine?
