    Bobcat T650 - Final Drive Motors and Hydrostatic Pump failure at 1200 Hrs

    Yes, it is a different location than on the Bobcat. But I actually like that. With the Bobcat I get the dirt blown right into the cab when the windows are open. With the Kubota, all that air is blown straight back and doesn't come back and hits you in the face. We had a Case that was an 83, sold...

    Bobcat T650 - Final Drive Motors and Hydrostatic Pump failure at 1200 Hrs

    Guess we must just have really bad luck. Pissed is an understatement and doesn't even come close to how we feel about the hole ordeal and how we have been treated by Bobcat. Got a call back from the Bobcat rep yesterday and they are not willing to do anything for us. So once we get this machine...

    Bobcat T650 - Final Drive Motors and Hydrostatic Pump failure at 1200 Hrs

    Thanks for the comments. Actually, the machine was shut down right away after we saw loss of power. So no, the machine never ran long after it was determined something isn't right. After talking to several dealers, it's the chicken or the egg theory. We now believe the pump failed first and took...

    Bobcat T650 - Final Drive Motors and Hydrostatic Pump failure at 1200 Hrs

    Not a happy camper right now. Bought a 2011 Bobcat T650 from a dealer with 400 hours last year. 1 year and 1 month later at 1,200 hours the right drive motor goes out which took out the other drive motor and took out the hydrostatic pump. Total cost in parts and labor close to $20,000. Tried to...
