For around $20 you can buy a DEF checking scope which will tell you if is correct ratio (32.5% urea) to de-mineralized water. I have read where scrupulously people were buying jugs of DEF, using DEF, refilling jugs with tap water, and returning jugs as unused.

Not normal. Likely need new pivot shaft cones Not sure what proper technical term is for pivots. May take a few spacer washers to take out remaining side to side slop. I would check before replacing pivot shafts to make sure the pivot bolts are torqued tight. If pivot system is...

Scenario: You bought a new top of line skid steer. Within days of delivery you discover a problem which is a serious safety issue. Problem impacts entire use of skid steer. Essentially making it pointless. Dealer has skid steer, but no word on resolving problem. How many days should you do...

In picture "20240312_094538.jpg"; it looks like there is a part's label sticker. Can you get a part number off of it? Joystick driver controller (6679485) perhaps. On side bolted to cab panel, possibly a large junction block of wires?

Similar problem with 2024 Bobcat T86 with Deluxe package and Touch screen. No stations come in. Similar to when antenna is disconnected from radio. Waiting to hear what selling Bobcat dealer finds wrong.

Bobcat dealer says AM / FM radio chassis is located behind a panel by right knee.

Video of Latch pins retracting and returning to normal. Video was taken with bucket teeth being pushed straight down into ground.

Where is AM / FM radio chassis located in a T86 with Touch display? Radio controls are down below Touch display, but radio chassis is not there. Bobcat's online part manual does not show AM / FM radio chassis for T86's with Touch display. Manual only shows standard AM / FM radio with...

2024 T86 with powered Bobtach. When back dragging a bucket, a loud metal bang will be heard. With sufficient bucket roll, you can see latch pins have retracted. Pins disappearing into bucket latching slots. Pins will return to engaged position once back dragging is stopped. Pins will stick...

What size is your Skid Pro Tiller, 72 or 84"? Is Tiller standard flow or high flow? TIA

Looking for pictures of 2024 T86 with Bobcat (factory / OEM) Forestry package. Specifically area where rear hydraulic rubber hoses and metal lines are, which is near track top drive sprocket. New 2024 T86's as-is do not come with a metal shield or protection plate where rear hydraulic rubber...

Symptoms are: Park Brake light is on and Seat Belt light is on. Machine will move (forward / backward). Lift Arms will not go up or down. Happened after getting cold ? Going by service manual, not experience..., see pages 4-49 thru 4-55 Make sure battery voltage is above 11.8vdc. Doesn't drop...

Not on a new machine. But similar air flow problems on old T870. Bobcat repair worked on problem twice, but didn't get it fixed. Problem was connector to air flow sensor. It needed cleaning and good seating. I used Gold Mist electrical connector spray; it is not supposed to harm plastic of...

Recently (once again) had fuel supply problems on my T870. Machine might start and run at low speed, might not. This time it was 90-degree hard-plastic fitting above fuel tank which connects rubber hose inside fuel tank to rubber hose going to very back of motor. The 90-degree hard-plastic...
