Hi, thanks for the comment. I think they called it industrial paint, there are no markings on the cans. It was about $120.00 for the two gallons of paint and 1 gallon of reducer. I just guessed the colors at the paint store, the original orange was a little more redish than I got and the...

Congrats on the new toy, it's a beauty. Have fun.

I am interested in seeing some pics to if possible. I have to tackle that project soon. Steve

Looks good. Have you tried it much yet? how does it work with the long frame? should be able to stack snow pretty high.

Someone else will probably give you a definite answer as I have no experience on bobcat, but my Thomas has float. when the boom is all the way down give an extra push with your toe and it should go into float. You will feel it if it goes to the float position. Good luck.

Great info, just checked my serial number and discovered my '98 135s is really a'99. Thanks.

Looks very similar to one I used to have. Was told it was late 70's to early 80's. Had a 4 cyl. wisconsin gas engine. Mine was a model 1710.

Thanks for the help again Ken.

I have no cold weather experience with this machine yet and am wondering how they start in the cold weather without a block heater? It is a 43hp Kabota.

How much does a bale weigh? Just across the border from you there are hundreds of Thomas's that work the potato barns and I heard there are some new leftover models at a dealer in the Hartland, not sure of their lift capacity though. A 150 (1500#) may work well or something just a bit bigger...

Thanks for all of the replies.

I can't seem to find these heaters on ebay or anywhere, anyone know what they are called, I may be searching with the wrong keywords. I can guess that even if a 300 watt electric heater would work it would be quite a drain on battery/alternator with all lights on. I am more concerned with...

It is liquid cooled.

Thanks Jerry, does the little heater move the air enough to keep the windows clear? The largest I see is 300 watt so I guess it should be no smaller for sure. Do you know how many watts yours is? Thanks.

Does anyone plow snow with a closed in cab but no heat? Is this possible or do windows fog or frost up? I see 200 and 300 watt electric heater/fans online that wire directly to battery, anyone tried these? Winter probably will come again this year.
