I had a T180 2006 I sold last week with 600 hours, and it was a great little machine. Look for 61HP models, the earlier one lacked a bit in power. However if I had to buy another I would go for the T190. You get the vertical lift and a higher lift as well. Don't buy anything over 1000 hours and...

Hi thre! I have a 257B with 900 hours. Had it for a few month now and it works very well howver I noticed that the exhaust manifold and turbo on the little perkins engine are very rusty. I had it serviced recently and the cat guy told me "they are all like that" I worked many years on large...

Hi there! Adding A/C to a Bobcat that has already a cab enclosure and heat is easy since the hard part is done. If you had an open cab, this are the prices you would be looking at Cab Enclosure: $1100.00 plus freight and tax Heater and plumbing Kit: $1500 plus freight and tax AC Kit: $2000.00...

I am considering installing a set of steel tracks on a S250 Bobcat that is working on demolition and truck loading to reduce time down after heavy rain. I noticed the only brand you seem to mention is Loegerings. Have you ever heard of "eTerra" brand. Have a look...

On the subject of electric driven, there is a new trend in boats that started with large one and is now getting into the smaller one, and that is diesel-electric. What served us for generations on the rails, the DD12-71 and similar who could not possibly have a gearbox for such massive engine...

Hum... Lets see... A) Unless I un-click the editor from my profile, I can not type in the message box. B) Electric driven accessories use up more fuel than mechanically driven. Correct. However they have also some advantages, one of them being that they do not draw power directly from the engine...

I answered this comment that addresses one theoretical issue with electricity driven accessories, regardless of what they are, A/C or fan, fuel pump or winch, same thing. Not everything ....actually....hardly much at all has to do with fuel consumption in machinery really. It may be the popular...

Sorry about the above post. About 'efficiency'. I must disagree with the last post. Electric fans are inefficient in theory compared to mechanically driven yet they have a place in most modern cars. If CAT engeneers have built an all electric system, I am sure they are aware that a mechanical...

Well for what it's worth, my Bobcat T180 is now perfectly encolosed with factory door, and windows, That door is a real beauty with its onw lifter, safety switch, lock, windscreen wiper. Aircon is a pleasure, all in all a very good choice. Whoever is still sweaeting or freezing with an open cab...

OK let's see Ok ticked the box but no joy. Hehe, snobby....neee I know the meaning of free and voluntary. I think I'll give the extension palte a go. It is easy enough and will prevent any damage from above and from one side that is rather good for a few doollars of plate and paint and one foot...

My local Bobcat dealer told me to my surprise that all the parts are available separately. The plug itself is rather pricy but it seems they can also provide the other bits and pieces separately. Will do a test and see if the wires and still OK inside, otherwise it is a chop off and change the...

Hum...how do you edit your own post? I forgot to say the machine is a T180 Hooroo Marc

Hi guys. Quick question. I just smashed the wire loom for the attachment that is fixed on top of the hydraulic houses quick release, against the top of a container. I underestiamted the extend of the oscilation revesing out of it and bang. I must say that it is located in a pretty bad spot...
