    Skid steer wood chipper

    My son worked for Asplundh for a few years before he got on at a local utillity company. He suggested to me to get a used pull behind gas or diesal chipper. I'm currently thining 7-8 acres of timber and brush using chain saws and a Bobcat s185 with a grapple. Dug a small pit 3x12x15 and burning...

    S185 working on a slope

    Ok, well the reason I was asking was I've never operated one on a steep slope. Took it down into the woods and started making piles of dead timber this morning and it did fine, then backed it back up the hill. There's a 60 year old terrace part of the way down which was the worse part of it. Now...

    S185 working on a slope

Getting ready to call ND. Does anyone know the max working angle on a slope or max safe angle / degree's? I...

    Skid steer wood chipper

    I've been watching this site for a couple of years now. Sometimes the things on it go for a decent price. There is a Bobcat chipper in the attachment category. https://www.bigiron.com/sale/skid-steer-attachments

    John Deere 650H LGP C-frame repair advice

    As the others mentioned the crack on the side plate and the welds on the inner sides need to be ground out and drill the ends of the weld cracks 1/4" - 5/16" bit. Also all the paint and rust needs to to be ground off in the areas needing welding. Weld it up then grind the side plates flush...

    Bobcat repaint; where to get the color codes.

    I don't know if the dealer will give you the color code for it but you could call um and ask. Otherwise you can order it by the qt. They don't list it by the gallon.

    Auxiliary hydraulics on an older Bobcat 743

    Hydro-pack is a Euro based hyd company, Bulgaria. Found this on their website, just an example. I didn't find any add on kits but hard to say what was available 25 - 30 years ago. That or somebody got a wild hair. Group 30 Hydraulic Gear Pump, 50 cc/rev, anti-clockwise , SAE-B 2 bolt flange ...

    Aftermarket Parts

    I also have always been an advocate for OEM parts when possible. I worked in industiral maint for 35 years before retirement and it was to often common for the purchasing dept to order another part other than what was requested to save on cost only to have it fail in half the cycles or overall...

    Aftermarket Parts

    Well, guess i answered my own question...tappered pins for 3/4" bolts aren't available from Bobcat and overall costs are double. I have to replace one weld on bushing because the previous owner appearently doesn't know what a grease gun is, Oh boy!!

    Aftermarket Parts

    Curious about what you guys used for replacement hard parts. Hard parts meaning pins, bushings, seal kits and so on. Soft parts i've always considered to be filters, belts, hose, fittings and so on. Do you only used OEM parts when you can still get them or do you used aftermarket parts because...

    Bobcat S250 Aux Flow

    Info on it is a little conflcting. Ritchie has the pump flow cap listed at 20.7, no HF listed According to Bobcats web site, HF is 30.7gpm on a 2002 with N/A in the std flow box? You might have to call them, give them your serial # to find out. Hydraulic System System Relief @ Quick Couplers...

    Bobcat T770 problems

    I was thinking about this today and was wondering if Bobcat had a Proprietary Purchase Agreement with Rexroth.... We use to run into that every once in a while on large equipment bearings and electronic equipment where the component manufacture had it but you could only get it from the machine...

    Bobcat T770 problems

    DXP in Sioux Falls might be able to help with just the seal but DB2 is right they will need dimensions. OD of the shaft, ID of what it's being pressed into and if it's a double lip seal
