There’s a lot of garbage content on KZbin finding a seasoned tech that’s willing to share what they’ve learned is priceless. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you for this! We have one of these.. and there's not a lot of content on the internet. Haven't had issues with the belt yet.. but glad I've seen the process. You also have convinced me I need a set of Milwaukee ratchets and impacts. .. thanks. Lol!

[@dakotaparsell9867]

I don't own a toolcat but they're interesting to watch get fixed for sure. Nothing else out there like it.

[@tetradgroup]

Love the videos! I have an old bobcat 751 and while I have done a lot of work on gas cars, trucks, atvs etc. I know little about my diesel bobcat. Your videos are great, I've learned a lot about my machine and fixed a few issues you covered in other videos. Thank you, your experience is very appreciated.

[@tetradgroup]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@Rprecision]

Enjoy the videos, what part of the country are you in?

[@denniscrump3083]

First time watching. Good job 👍

[@jrac863]

Another excellent video.I plan on getting a toolcat very soon and I have a feeling this will be very helpful .Thank you for everything you do for us.Also are u ever going to to a live session I think that would be pretty cool

[@tetradgroup]

Thanks for the idea, might try that one day.

[@JesusRivera-io3ie]

I'm cold just looking at you

[@liamward7652]

This is an awesome video. I very recently picked up a used 2014 Toolcat with traction control. The machine is ‘bogging’ when traction control is enabled or even at higher speeds when disabled. I’m going to take a look at my belt & tensioner setup & condition asap - thanks to your help!

[@tetradgroup]

Check and clean sensor on front left axle for traction control. If the sensor is loose or the transaxle is loose in the frame the traction control will not work correctly, it will sense wheel slippage and apply the brakes to try to correct which could cause the engine to bogg.

[@Flowing23]

Hi, a very good video. Thank you for posting. If I may ask, what is your background. You appear to be an expert on bobcat equipment. Are you involved with the company. I imagine the knowledge you have most of taking many years to acquire. Thank you.

[@TheAkstewie]

Mind showing us where that valve is to loft the bed next time lol

[@bobcat8439]

Have you ever done a bobcat 843 control valve rebuild?

[@triplet1002]

Is there a kit to convert the Toolcat belt to the stronger skidsteer belt?

[@clutch747]

Thank you so much!!! Why would you not put the better belt on it? Chris

[@tetradgroup]

This is the only belt available for this machine at the time. I don't think any updates have been made.

[@ericfraser7543]

Another great job, you make it look easy and working on my Bobcat a lot less intimidating. Wouldn't an operator hear that tensioner pulley start to fail before it broke like that?

[@tetradgroup]

You would think so, however he said he heard it when it broke lol

[@fricknjeep]

hi good show , how many hours should that belt last ?

[@TheZigZiggy]

Thx for the vids 👍 Are there tensioner stop brackets like that one on the skid steers that need periodic adjustment?

[@tetradgroup]

Thanks for the comment and yes most of the skids will have a stop bracket. I did a video that explains the stop bracket and how it's adjusted.

[@stephaneboucher5108]

Happened to me on my 2017 model ! Electronics black box under de Sand box ! By the way, did you know you can install real winter tires on it ? I had 4 Chev Colorado (2009) Blizzak on mine. Work like a charm on ice. they were 10 ply !

[@Dakotalogger]

Sounds like the belt blew should be direct drive I got an update kit on mine haven’t blown it yet…

[@coleallen8657]

👍

[@richscott2952]

My rear hydraulic steering just went out code 5054 It was the computer control board by the rear axle underneath the metal plate damn you’

[@geraldhawkins2643]

Would this machine be good for row work running a brush cutter?

[@olafurmarteinsson7829]

Great video! Do you know if the A series Toolcat has the same tensioning system?

[@tetradgroup]

Although the tensioners have changed several times over the years its the same basic operation.

[@user-lz6wc9rr7w]

I have a bobcat 5600 that happens to turn off after a minute of being operated. Any idea on what the issue could be?

[@GCHG2014]

I've heard people say that when these toolcats have this issue or can not start that there is no way to get it back to a shop to work on them. Site only service since they become immobile. Please straighten this out for me. Still town between this and a 4066r.

[@tetradgroup]

Depends on the situation, any good flat bed driver whould be able to load it up and get to a shop. Depending on the failure it might be cheaper to just have a road tech do the repair.

[@bigbearhungry983]

To me very poor design. Something this powerful should been made better. I can see this becoming a common problem.

[@havik6942]

Ours break down almost every year.. it’s like Cadillac it’s got great features but junking manufacturing.. our belt broke like that as well.. why not use a chain?? Or something better.. right now as we speak my hydraulics won’t work on the attachments. Before that, it was run away Diesel.. one problem after another.. I don’t recommend BobCat

[@hughjaynis9157]

Where is everyone even finding parts for these? i found the part number I need from Bobcat parts online (6814052), but parts availability looks like dealership only? i need a hose that's part hardline and rubber from the hydrostatic system. cant find anything for these ANY where.

[@tetradgroup]

These are definitely one of Bobcat machines, most everything will have to come from the dealership, not much available aftermarket for these.

[@hughjaynis9157]

​@@tetradgroup Dang, thanks for the response though! Thatd turn me away from a sale personally, no aftermarket support at all. Spent hours searching yesterday. Bummer.
