Nothing cheap about owning a Bobcat

[rjdesi]

New Bobcat owner of a 2022 T66 Compact Track Loader with 900 hours on it. I'm cleaning it up and giving it the TLC that it deserves (maintenance wise). I finding out that to properly maintain a Bobcat requires that you have deep pockets. Thanks to those of you that share your vast knowledge of maintaining a Skid Steer.

No problem….we're so broke we can't afford to do anything else.

That is why I won't own newer skid steers. Cost of ownership is too high for what they do.

My bother traded a Cat 226D for a new Cat 226D to stay in warranty. $20 per hour just in depreciation. I'll keep my old Cases that depreciate in the pennies per hour thank you very much.

If doing all the scheduled preventive maintenance keeps machines out of the bobcat dealer shop, we save oodles of $$$$$. I do everything myself for this reason too. And this forum has a wealth of archived info. Welcome!
