[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 5607, member: 307"] For chains try any industrial supply store that sell stuff for commercial trucks. Bobcat recomends parking loader indoor if possible for cold temps (-10 and colder, if memory serves) to help prevent hydrostatic failer do to poor oil flow. If your going to leave it outside in -30 -40 weather, you would need 0-30 engine oil, and 0/30 or 5/30 artic engine oil for your hydros as well, imo. Mine will hardly start at -20 with 10/30 in it and plugged in, the block heater is in one end of the head, so the far cylinders don't warm as well as they could, and my batt is 3 years old. But for -40 things have to be in good shape and set up properly. I much prefer to leave it in the shop, get by with summer oil, older battery etc Ken [/QUOTE]
