Bobcat 2016 t590.

Make sure to change the oil in the drive motors if you don’t know when the last time it was changed. It is the most neglected maintenance items on tracked machines.

Welcome! I was in the same boat last year and this forum has been so much help. Great bunch of knowledgeable people willing to help.

Just a general observation from another new owner--in trolling the net, I see way too many burned up Bobcats.

Especially with an older machine, or one not properly maintained, I think one should be really paranoid of the potential for a hydraulic leak/spray in the engine compartment where a hot exhaust could ignite the mist.

And--get out your checkbook--you'll need it.
