I run a 60 inch brush cutter on my s150 (https://www.mtlattachments.com/brush-cutters-1/mtl-xc7-direct-drive-cutters). Works great. Will cut 4-6 inch stuff with no problems. If you decide to buy the flail mower make sure to check the weight of the mower to see if its compatible with your machine

I went through this exercise when I purchased my trailer. I called my state DMV to see what the requirements were. DMV person told me to look on the back of my drivers license. ( mine is class C). It says class c is good up to 26001 combined weight. My truck is 12000# so I had the trailer...

Tilt deck for me. I previously used a trailer with folding ramps. Hated the folding ramps. Always worried that I would drive off them when backing on the trailer. My tilt deck is a 14k 22ft equipment/car hauler. I use it for everything. When I need to take several attachments, I just set them in...

Tazza, Appreciate the reply. I went ahead and swapped out the solenoid for a new one. I ran the machine for several hours afterward without a shutdown incident. I'm hoping that was it but I won't know till I get some more run time on it. The Bobcat solenoid part # was 6691498 and the...

S150 with about 400 hrs. I'm getting an intermittent shutdown with a code of 14-02, Fuel Shutoff Pull Coil Error On. I've had this problem for 6 months or so but now I'm getting tired of it so I thought I would try to fix it before the machine gets stuck somewhere. Them machine starts and runs...

I believe the rules have changed. I may have the terminology slightly wrong, but I believe you add the gvwr of the truck and trailer together and if it's under 26000 then no cdl is required. My old drivers license had the 10000# trailer info but the last time I got them renewed the 10000#...

I don't have a sketch, but take a look at Northern Tool item # 128008 for an idea of a possible style for the hub assembly. Would have to cut pipe section off the hub assy flush with flange and then weld on a circular plate with the correct bolt pattern matching the skid steer (or cut out center...

Even though it may be a little costly, an adapter could probably be fabricated using a trailer hub (the ones with a square flange on the back) to allow the temporary installation of an automotive tire/wheel in place of each of the bobcat wheels. This would allow the wheels to "free wheel" so the...

Otisdog, Are you talking about the D-ring that bolts near the bottom of the left arm. If so, I checked with a Bobcat dealer about purchasing one for my S150. It is powdercoated black and cost about $38.00 if I remember correctly. It's pretty heavy duty. I decided that was too rich for my blood...

Thanks Tazza and all ! I'll check for the horn up front and I'll do a little testing with the old Fluke meter to see if and when the wires in the back are hot. Also, I didn't understand that the horn and the backup alarm were different devices. That's the beauty of this forum, someone out there...

Thanks again Iowa Dave, I checked my machine. It has a switch on the bucket side of the left control handle. I looked in the operator manual, it says it's for a "horn if so equipped". I didn't check for the backup alarm microswitches since I really don't care if they are there or not. The guy I...

Iowa Dave, The S150 I have is new to me. First one I've owned. I saw the "loose" wires near the alarm hole on the door and wondered what they were for. Haven't checked for the microswitches, but I'll take a look. I really don't have to have the backup alarm, but I can see a "horn" being useful...

renopker, This is the info I was looking for. Thanks. I had seen these units on ebay, but they didn't appear to fit in the hole in the door where the plastic filler piece is. Do these units mount on the interior side of the door such that I keep the plastic filler in place. Is there a generic...

Appreciate the response OldMachinist. I'm still curious, what are the two unconnected wires with the terminals installed on them for? (The wires are located at the location where the horn would be installed)

I haven't checked with the dealer on pricing, but is there a generic type backup alarm that will directly mount in rear door for a S-150 without buying a "bobcat" brand part? Also, my machine doesn't have the alarm but has a "black plastic filler" in the mounting hole. There are two wires with...
