I posted this a few days ago, Was "Pending" for a few hours and then disappeared.

Not new to equipment but new to SS/Compact Track Loaders. I have a 2012 Bobcat T190, 3100 hours. I don't know what the Bobcat icons are for the gauges. Haven't found it online either.

I attached a photo of my gauges. What is the gauge on the lower left, teardrop with a box around it and arrows pointing in from the side. Is it hydrostatic pressure, it always reads what I think is low (4 bars when really cold, 3 and maybe even down to 2 bars when warm/hot in use). Is that too low? I think the upper left gauge is engine oil pressure, upper right battery voltage, bottom right has the same teardrop in a box and is temperature.

Does the T190 have two hydraulic pumps? Hydrostatic for track drive motors and another for hydraulics for boom and Aux? I do have 3000psi at the Aux ports.

I've had it for almost a year using it on my property, not commercially. Have put about 100 hours on it so far and will likely do about 100 hours a year going forward. It works without any beeps or error messages. All filters were dated with hours when I got it. I replaced engine oil and filter, fuel filter, hydraulic filter at the back and the "fan canister" filter under the cab at 200 hours. Hydraulic fluid is full with the ball visible at the top of the site glass.

After more research the lower left gauge is hydraulic pressure. I'm not sure why it is at the lower end (2-4 bars) at all times because a test gauge on the aux ports shows a little above 3000psi.

Does anybody know if this is normal or if I'm I seeing lower than spec'ed pressure due to age/wear?

You could have a bad gage since it doesn’t move at all. It should go up at least a couple of notches from idle to full throttle.

Here is a link to some charge pressure info:

Oil Pressure top left, bottom left oil level, bottom right oil temp from what Ive seen before, not sure on your machine but that should be what they are.
