Good Morning, Is / Does anyone know anything about the Bobcat #2500 hyd. breaker. Is it dependeble? I do not have a serial number yet so I do not know what year it is. Anybody have problems with this model ? Thanks, mcharley

I have posted a couple of times with fantastic replies. This is a great place!!! The 863 I have is two years old w/just a 1000 hrs on the clock,It has been a pain from the day it was delivered. It has been doing good the last couple of months now. I have three (3) little issues now and hopefully...

Hey Tazza, When and if you do find out, Would you let me know? I guess I clean mine to much. Now maybe I will not clean my 863 as much. But then again I hate dirty stuff,It also does not look professional when you show up at a project with dirty equipment.On the other hand I will take a dirty...

Hey Tazza, Did you get my post as to what Beef Jerky was

Hey Tazza, Well I learned quite a few things in the last couple of hours. #1) You Guys Down Under do have a sense of humor. #2) That I am able to send "yaroo" email, And it gets there pretty quick. #3) It seems that what ever lanquage it is you folks speak there. It is in english on my end after...

Hey Tazza, So is that what a barbie looks like?? Where do you hang the shrimp?? When you close the door does it become a smoker to make jerky?? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Have a good day. mcharley

Hello Goodtech, It sounds like you know about or work on Bobcats alot. I have just recently found and joined this forum. (I wish I knew about when it started) I had some trouble with a starting issue on a 863 the other day and everybody was great in helping. I had a gut feeling that the problem...

Hey Eric, Very Nice Looking Equipment!!! You guys all want big transporters??? I used to have big stuff to.Got real tired of all the hassles with DOT,ICC, Weight Stations,CDL's,Medical cards, etc. A big pain in the a**. I use a single axle IH with a 88" walk in sleeper tagged as a motorhome and...

Hey Eric, The first week was great no problems. After that it was all downhill!! Throttle cable was eaten by the AC compressor. Left side front & rear axle hubs were defective,threads were stripped in the lug holes ruined two rims,Eventhough I followed the tightning procedure as per the...

Tigerotor77W, Thanks for the welcome,I think i have found a home. Sure beats the other sites that I have been to, They were not Bobcat sites but were in the same family. Regards,Mcharley

Thanks so much to everyone for responding to my message. All is well with my 863. This is the first piece of equipment with a computer and that scared the bejeebies out of me. I also should have gone with my gut but this machine has been a nightmare since delivery. I jumped in head first and...

WOW, four replies by three people this is great, Thanks Guys. I did the whole jumping thing on the starter & ground bolt. Both with my F-250 PS and cables and got nothing,even tried another set of cables again nothing. I then put my battary starter/charger on it and again nothing. I did inspect...
