I'm asking what the current version of Software for Bobcat is. A mechanic that works at a dealership should know.
It's the software for all the controllers in any newer Bobcat.

I figured that, as the older versions will not work with the newer actuators and needs to be flashed with the new software. I remember you talking about it in your previous posts.
Are the s/ware updates free? or when you install a newer actuator do you need to pay the service boys to re-flash the machine?

Depends on your dealer, I guess. If you replaced your own actuator then needed an update, or “reflash” seems to me it's a simple thing for them to do.
I just want to know what the latest release number is so I know if my customers have it onboard.

The latest software is 71.2, it has been out for almost a month so there is probably a new version coming soon.

Do you work for a dealer or independent? My machine is in Platte City right now. I have an issue I couldn't figure out after removing the hyd control valve.

Why did you take the control valve out?
