You got a new toy, have fun Hank, its a good machine and way more useful than a tractor. Get some attachments for it you will be way more happy about this machine.
That machine should have come fully serviced !!! Tip : Take your filters to your local auto parts store that sells Wix filters and have them measure the filters and see if they have them. If not try whoever sells Baldwin filters. Most equipment filters are made by these two companies and rebranded. Sometimes they can t sell them under their name though. Also sometimes they will have a filter that is the same except a half inch or inch shorter or longer or bigger or smaller diameter that will work just as good. You can save as much as 75 % on the price of each filter. On our John Deere skid steer the air filters were 75.00 cheaper inner and outer and the in cab a/c filters were 40.00 cheaper each !! Thats a 250.00 savings each time you change them. If your engine air filter does not have a precleaner on it get one and install it if you are using it in dusty conditions!!! It makes a huge difference. Operating in west Texas I was having to blow out the air filter every 3 hours. We put a precleaner on and only had to blow the filter out every two to three days. If you are using it in the wind keep the wind at your back so the dust blows out the front of the machine and that will help your air filter stay clean much longer.
Thanks!
Wix filters all the way!!
@@Vanbooskie Good call, also NAPA filters are made by WIX
Donaldson makes a lot of filters too, but if I'm not getting OEM filters I like Wix or NAPA which is made by Wix for them.
sounds like one or both final drives or hyd pump making noise
I suggest, since you have the load noise during the machine movement, you need also do the hydraulic motor track oil change as well, I'm sure it will eliminate the motor track gear noise/ grinding noise when you move the machine.
I don t know what you need high flow hyds for but don t turn it on unless you are using an attachment that needs high flow. If you are planing on getting a forestry grinder/ mulching head you need to see if Bobcat makes a Lexan shatter proof / bulletproof door for that machine !! When they first came out with that head for John Deere skid steers a man that bought one of the first ones was doing his fence row by raising the head and letting it down on the trees in the fence row and he accidently got a t post. It ripped the t post out of the ground and shot it back through the door and out the back window missing his head by inches. John Deere immediately had the Lexan doors made. We had just bought ours and Deere requested that we not use the head above ground level until our door came in and was installed. I hope this helps you. Stay safe. I enjoy your and Wallys videos immensely !!!
Thanks!
Nice addition, I'm sure you will use it ...alot of fun to drive.
Yes sir! Thank you for watching!
Just by the first sounds, the travel motors don't sound healthy.
I was thinking the same. Other than that it seems to be in good shape.
Some sound weird by nature too depending on manufacturers
Great addition to your equipment! One of the requirements for the skid steer should have been lifting ability for when Wiley falls on the "Will It Start" videos. Wishing you many years of faithful service from it. God bless!
Lol
Thanks for another great video Hank. It was interesting and enjoyable.
Looks like a nice machine you got there. Descent price and delivery was reasonable so you did alright. Good catch Hank.
The other thing I noticed was it was not roughed up at all. Looked pretty darn nice for used one. Used ones a lot of times are beat up a bunch. This one was not.
Really handy machine to have. Will do a lot for you on your place.
Enjoy that machine Hank.
Thanks for showing us the servicing and getting it all freshen up. Was interesting.
You take care and be safe with your skid steer.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Hank.
The Iowa farm boy.

Howboutcha Hank.... Congratulations on the bobcat!
That old slab kinda looks like part of an old septic tank.
The final drive sounds a little noisy
Good clean looking machine, Hank. I think you got it at a great price. My son has been looking and some of the ones he’s looked at are not near in the shape that ones in and higher prices. I wish you the best of luck and many many years of service. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
The whole time you was struggling with the concrete slab I kept saying, "Hank, go and put on your pallet forks". They would have easily took the whole slab.
Yeah I kinda just wanted to get a feel for the joysticks, seeing how I never operated a skid steer before. Forks would have been a better choice.
Hank, I run a Takeuchi track loader and I was told by a mechanic every 500 hours to change the gear oil in the track motors. I’m not sure if bobcat is the same style but it probably would not hurt.
Think I would have went the ASV or Takahoochie route, Bobcats ain't bad but think the others are a little tougher. If you go with a forestry mulching head I would go FAE.. Also pressure wash the belly pan after dropping oil and fluids and strap on a big fire extingusher some where.
I literally was on my way to the bank to get the money for a Takeuchi and the guy text me and said he sold it. I was about 30 mins too late.
Hank, quick tip , if your having trouble seeing oil level on a dip stick try this. Wipe dip stick clean and dry, then color one side with sharpie.
You got a great deal on that machine. I have owned a Bobcat S-250 that I purchased new in 2005 and it has been an absolute beast.
You don’t have to change the air filters on most newer Skidsteer’s until the dummy light comes on in the accessory panel as a matter of fact they recommend that you don’t change them unless light comes on telling you to because the sediment that’s in the existing filter help in some way or another.
I could be wrong but I’m almost positive I read that somewhere.
Good luck with your machine it seems like you take good care of your equipment so that thing should run for many years to come plus it looks like it was in great condition when you got it. Tons of power and you can lift full pallets of pavers or wall stone all the way up without any tipping just go slow. One other thing everyone I see operating a skidsteere seems to always have the throttle maxed out at 2500 RPM’s which you won’t need to do unless your traveling or ripping out stumps or any other aggressive procedure. It doesn’t need the extra RPM’s to still be powerful and you will save on fuel plus it’s not always screaming in your ear which gets old quick.
Good luck
That's a nice looking machine for the money.
And the fact that the filters were changed with the hours and the date that they were changed shows you that the previous owner took care of the maintenance on it.
Right on
Nice skid steer! I didn't know they cost that much used. I guess they're close to $100,000 new, depending on the model and features. I was thinking maybe $20,000 or so. But it's a really nice machine! Congratulations Hank! Can't wait to see what else it can do. 👍
Thank you. New was about $75k-$85k depending
Your video is amazing of how to explain things and walk us through purchasing and machine maintenance. Thank you Sir.
Fill fuel filter up when putting back on & fill oil filter back up before putting back on!!
I think you got a fair deal. Equipment is crazy expensive right now I bought a New Holland L230 a year and a half ago, 2015 with 1600 hrs. for $30,000. A new l234 is right at $70,000 for the same setup as mine!!!! I hope mine runs for years with out to many issues., thank you for the videos!!!
thats god , you say every time " i not a meshanics " i thing you and waily can dow more tham most hire in germany .
when you and other mechanics finally do the hamiltonwill farm shop you will be able to do much more than others.
And I think this will be a great success.
Those r good machines but i would cut open those hydro filters to see if there's any metal. Somethins definately goin south in the drive system. Drain the finals too. My buddy john has one and the hoses to the drive motors are a real drag to get to. His had the kubota and bent a valve when it backfired but wasnt to hard to repair. Been running great ever since. Just wait till u gotta change a track lol. Thanks for sharin brother!
I'm so pleased for you Hank your'e a decent hard working godly person and deserve nothing but good fortune brother. love from N. Ireland
Thank you kindly
Thank you kindly
You might have a problem with drive motors the way it appears to be jumping when you move and the noise they are making. Great video, Stay safe
“That thing’s makin’ oil!” 😂😂😂
Bloody nice ‘spot buy’, well done
Thank you
Welcome to the Bobcat family! I have 2, a 1999 763 wheel machine I bought in 2004 and a 2016 T450 I bought for $37K with 970 hours, closed cab and AC. They are great machines. Mine are smaller than yours but my needs are filled. Welcome to the family! Working around that trailer sure made things difficult. I have several attachments. The ones I use the most are the mower deck, Land plane and the grapple rock bucket. Forks pretty much stay attached to the wheel machine and I made a square receiver hitch that bolts onto one of my smooth buckets. Moving trailers is a piece of cake. When you lower the attach dogs for the bucket, keep the bucket off the ground and slightly tilted up. This brings the bucket into full contact with the bobtach and if they are greased as they should be, the dogs easily slip into the bucket.
Thank you
Hi Hank. Keep in mind with a door that opens out there will be times you have to put the bucket or forks all the way down to exit the machine. I am a bit concerned about the loud whine when moving the skid steer around sounded like the hydraulic pump and if it is it should not be that loud
I have made a few UA-cam videos, you would be surprised at how different sounds are picked up and are not like they are in real life.
Well for starters I guess you did fairly well on the skid steer I have known people that bought cheaper ones then what you paid for yours but I guess it's just a matter of what kind of money you have I take it me I know I wouldn't be able to afford one would I know how to operate one well I put it this way if I can run a back hoe Case tractor I can run one of those
i think you need to ask mr diesel 2 questions, 1, are the hydraulic motors noisy ?
2, how do you drive one of these things?
never bought a car where you had to service it when you got it home....
take care hank
Efrata. That’s crazy. Cool machine.
Great buy, But very noisy when you move it . Like if hydraulic tank is dry or pump starving for oil
Hi, congrats on your Purchase. When you do your "PM (Preventive Maintenace)" Service, I Recommend
Doing a " Fluid Sample Analysis Tests ". These oil samples tests (also the engine "Coolant"), Can tell you
the condition of each oil, coolant and wear of internal parts. These " Sample Test Kits ", can be found
at a local dealer (Any equipment Dealer ie; Bobcat, Caterpillar, John Deere).
Oh! The Air filter Housing should have " Two Filters ', a " Inner / Safety Filter and " Outer Air " (@ 11:08
The Outer Air Filter Is supposed to have a Retaining / Wing nut and Gasket, to hold the outer air
filter in).
its a cracking looking machine that Hank:-) I think you have done well there.....plus there really good fun to operate bobcats. Great video buddy
You picked a good pre emissions skid steer you got a decent deal for it being 2022
Hey Hank. Sweet Bobcat Skid Steer. That Was a Great Deal . Keep Those Videos Rolling! God Bless & Say Hey To Wiley .
Thanks 👍
I bought an 06 S185 w/1,100 hrs three years ago for 23,500 from Best used Bobcats out of Pa. I got the hyflow, cab with heat, and the kubota diesel!, and they delivered for 500.00 to southeastern, ohio. They got my financing in less than a day!. Dealers in ohio didnt have what I wanted!. Good luck with yours!.
Thank you
Great looking machine right there. Don't use a paint pen to mark your air filters. The fumes might cause the engine to run high. ;)
Awesome despite the rain! It looked like there was a windshield wiper? Send some rain out here to AZ if you can, we will take it off your hands!
How's the belts? I've changed out alot of grease zerks over the years. That lock n lube works great, I got one too. Cost of upkeep on those would break me!
Just wondering if the forks for the tractor fit that bobcat?? Make it nice if your not needing to spend any money. I think in your case, I would throttle down a little and push on those controls a little harder to take that jackhammer jerk out of your travel. Keep those tracks tight or you will get the experience of putting a track on a bit sooner. Its gonna happen but might wait a day or seventeen before you have to. I can raise the cab on my old skidsteer by hand.. it locks in the upright position so it don't kilt ya. Take sweet care of your windshield, its a good piece of money to replace and not as easy as the picture said it would be/lol. A pressure washer is a good friend when cleaning it up... those tracks do last a heck of a lot longer if ya keep stuff washed out but after the new wears off, it will set in the rain, never get a bath... it will be " ah, the oil was fine all this week, lets just go" an then it won't be. My landlords bobcat skidsteer is near new as in he bought it new two years ago... they had to send it out for servicing as they know less than you on anything about machinery... he gets puzzled just using his lawn mower. I might add, its battery powered and has .. well had instructions on how to but its buried under filth. The guy who took it to the shop charged them for the cleaning of his rig as it was so nasty that his deck looked like a mud bogger. As a little known fact... first oil change or anything in those years... and its used a lot by everyone who works for him in all the time he has had it... no, don't buy his shit!
The forks will fit. And you're right about the pushing on the controls...already figured that out!
Hey Hank you know that your grapple and fork’s will work with that skid steerer, it probably would have been easier than that bucket in taking care of that slab
My grapple connections aren't flat faced....I could have used the forks, but I didn't realize the slab had those footers on them. Rookie!!!
@@HamiltonvilleFarm I made some adapter’s so I can use my grapple for either Application
I agree with all the other comments on the track drive motors. You definitly have an issue. My neighbor has a Bobcat like yours with more hours on it and it is quiet when moving
That machine screams I need implements. $$$ . Is that the replacement upgrade for the adjustable wrench
Lol.
You might what to right on the oil filter how much oil you put in or right it in the back door of the bobcat . don't for get to look at belts and Howes to see if they are crack or heard. When you had the cab up you shed have power Wash under so it be clean that way if you ever had a lick you would be able to fine it faster
Especially when buying sight unseen always service ,and thoroughly inspect equipment regardless of it's condition or what you've been told.
Congrats on the new purchase! Nice to see it has tracks, too. Please tell us you didn't get under that cab while tilted back with just the 1 strap holding it up? Please tell us you had a 2nd support, chain, prop underneath, safety catch in place, something to protect it from crushing you! NVM, I commented before you set the cab down and released the safety latch. Great work Hank!
Yeah it’s got a safety catch👍
New toys are fun. Congrats Hank.
Thanks buddy. Now I need a mini ex😁👍
@@HamiltonvilleFarm you better stick to that JD backhoe!! 🤣
That oil drain pan looks smart. (Holder for used filter in the corner) Don't think I've seen it here in Europe. Entertaining and useful video as always! :)
Good set of pallet forks would help. Pretty handy.
Did you get owners or shop manuals with it? Did you look on Amazon for filters? Got to be cheaper.
I always buy the branded filters first time around. I’ll shop around next oil change👍
If you realty want to bless us, please send us some of that rain to Arkansas and Texas.
Lol. Prayers for you guys!
Nice one bro I guess it won't be long before you get some implements for it. Being high flow it would be good for one of those land level things like Mike, Matt and Chris use. Safe travels 👍
Nice looking Bobcat Nick
What is that friends grinding noise when you are moving
See my replies in the comments 👍👍
I was hoping the pump would quit screeming so much after you added fluid and it should have a lot. you really need to have that looked at. i own several bobcats and they only do that if they get really low on hydro fluid. they fact that it was that low is not a good sign. it run's about 2,500 to rebuild one as i know. not including pulling the motor and cradle.
you might have a leak sucking air as that can sound that as well. There is one more filter that looks like a inline fule pump , it's about 1.5 round and 3 inches long and it's just under the hydro tank. you have to take a side plate off next to the tracks to get to it. pain in the arus. very common for that to get clogged .
Cool. Thank you
Hi from Australia
Should try a 4 in 1 bucket
I would also refresh the drive motors at 2800 hours. has almost no oil in it. but if they break you will lose a lot of money
You can do whatever you wish....and I know a lot of people swear that you HAVE to fill the oil filter before you put it back on. In the case of the Bobcat you have that filter drained into the oil pan (and down the side of the engine making a mess), so it's not going to be full when you start the engine. I grew up in a trucking and excavating business that at its peak had 12 dump trucks, 2 backhoes, 3 excavators, and 2 dozers. We did ALL of our own maintenance and repairs. Not once in 40 plus years of working on trucks and equipment did we ever put oil in the oil filters. We just let the engine take care of itself and we NEVER EVER had a problem with any of the engines. Fuel filter's a different story....but you can skip filling the oil filter with zero issues (except you won't make a mess!!!).
You filled the hydraulic and that whine quieted down .. 🍻👍🏻
Gotta like a rubber track skid steer, they don't tare up the terrain, real time saver, nice machine.
Thank you
Get some time in the seat and it'll start clicking. My biggest worries is usually getting stuck which has happened the other is throwing a track. Check your tension
Hard to believe that a year and a half ago that machine would have went for right at $20,000 tops
Isn't it crazy ! I almost bought a bobcat 190 on a trailer with forks smooth bucket and tooth bucket complete setup for 18k 2 years ago ... I wish I had
DON'T WORRY BOUT THE RAIN HANK, I LOVE IT... WE DON'T SEE MUCH HERE IN PX... WE JUST CAME BACK FROM THE CABIN & IT RAINED ONCE OR TWICE A DAY... NICE NEW, OLD MACHINE YOU GOT, I WAS LOOKIN' AT SOME AND SETTLED ON A NICE CAT 4X4 BACKHOE FOR NOW... MAYBE LATER I'LL TRADE FOR SONETHIN' LIKE YOURS... I JUST DIDN'T FIND ONE IN MY PARAMETERS... SHE LOOKS GOOD CONGRATS... PEACE...
Nice 👍
Hank you need to adjust the hydraulic pressure for the drive can see you fighting the control handle and the noise it's making when you move it
Looks like a beast!
Thanks buddy
If you haven't figured out by now all your specs are on the inside of the back door. There ought to be a hand primer for the fuel and there's a bleeder on the fuel filter housing top. You have a Case setup with the bucket controls. I like that better than the foot jobs and a 250 is a fine machine. I like the track jobs a lot better than the tired ones. The tired ones make me tired. The pilot valve wobble sticks are sweet with all the moving on the left stick and the bucket stuff on the right but that's on up there with the $$$ too. And you're too much of a Tarheel to be much of a Yankee. GBWYall! And blow the big air filter out with a compressor and save it. The little one should be just fine to save as it is.
👍👍
Nice machine Hank thanks for letting us come along getting it serviced an seeing go to work. How much fuel does it hold Hank and how much fuel does it use just curious buddy thanks for sharing 👍
It looks like that your new skid steer loader is a nice one.
Thank you
@@HamiltonvilleFarm Your welcome!
What do you think is better track's or tires
Good luck buddy see you soon
Thank you for watching
For just 35 hrs on the filter changes, I'd go ahead and use it if the oils looked clean for at least 65 hrs keeping check on the levels everyday and blow the air filters out everyday. But I know what you're saying about peace of mind.
Hank don't let wiley see it,he might want to borrow the new toy lol
Man aren't the magnetic wireless lapel makes awesome! I've got the same one for my channel and I love it
$28k is not a lot of money for a tracked bobcat. I expect issues with used equipment. Somebody sold it because they found it economically feasible to replace that unit. You dont know what their reason is.
Excellent video Hank :) also like one drain plug hose to especially one my late Father had combine for gas motor it had cap like to but how hook garden hose fitting on screwed on with long double layer hydraulic so put oil in container or bucket and then open was tap near motor to drain oil on the bucket but we did with 20 litre pails ! Also that gas motor took 6 pints or litres of 10w30 engine oil no synthetic with oil cannister inpot type filter also grease we on farm is Moly High Temperatures Farm and Equipment grease it take cold temperatures also high hot temperatures! Hydraulic fluid like 80w90 differential fluid thick but last long time every 5 to 10 years on change plus filter too! On engine oil change in 3 months or 6 depending hours of use and on Desiel fuel filters every 6 months always!
👍👍
I don't know much about bobcats just curious if the noise I am hearing during the video when you are moving forward or backwards is normal?
To me it sounds like something humming in the drive gear or the hydraulic pump.
Also curious if there are grease fittings for your tracks behind those plates?
See my replies in the comments 👍👍
That jerking sensation sounds like some drive motors and hydraulic issues but it's beast of a machine..good purchase
Thanks. I’ve been reading forums on the noise. Still haven’t decided on what to do for diagnosing anything.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm yeah it get tricky on us a bit ...you are a darn smart fella I'm sure you got this buddy ...but that's a damn good purchase i own 4 of these and all run like champs
Had some S250’s with the kubota engine in them around the dairy farm and one went over 20,000hrs. Those old machines sure are tough!
right on!
Looks like this rig does have a Kubota in it, nice. Normally they are painted blue not black but I did spot “V3300-T” on the block.
Plus the hot Shor driver was probably already up that way. They always get something close to haul back
You want to get in touch with I can give you info on pa and East coast people that buy equipment and resell it
Don't forget to service the final drives. They each hold about a quart of gear lube.
У вас дуже класні відео !!!
Hey Hank,, don't know if you heard me yelling at you the whole time you struggled with that piece of concrete lol 😂😂 but the forks would have done it alot quicker my friend.. was also scared for your beautiful trailer.. you'll get the hang of it buddy.
Right on. Yeah a little rough. Lol. The footers throwed me off. Couldn’t get a bite bc the bucket was as wide as the “legs”
Hey Hank👍 long time I see you changed your logo, I've been busy😅. hey remember when I said the lock and lube tip wouldn't work for me and you said I haven't had anything that it doesn't work on! hahaha there's your dinner. 🙏🇺🇸
Good day to you Hank … Congratulations on the new machine good service maybe go over and do the cooLinG system new cooLanT and thermostat and good water 🚿 I’m sure you and WyLie are going to use it aLoT stiLL🍻😃🥳😎
You did good 👍, but we're was Waily ?
🤷🏻♂️ at his house I reckon 😁
You need to get ya some forks for that bad boy. I did notice on take off it was a bit jumpy.
Sounds like it's whining... hydraulic pumps and travel motors are a night mare on a mechine like that
Hey mate, I always found the 4n1 bucket far more versatile than the std bucket. Once you master it you’ll never go back
I’d like to have one for sure👍
Great buy on the skid steer it looks clean for its age . Someone must have maintained it well or not used it much.. I have a 2017 and its not as clean as that one and has 8000 hours on it ..Are the shocks bad on the cab? I can easily lift my cab up myself on my deere 320e . Also the one drive sounds noisy. Not nit picking it or anything . Maybe I'm not used to the bobcat machines
The tractor was totally not necessary. Rookie move. Lol
Looks in really good condition Hank!!
👍👍
The place is pronounced F er ta here in Pa. It's near Scranton, Wilkes Barre area
Gotcha👍
It really looks brand new
Well you didn’t go to Pennsylvania to pick it up so you miss an opportunity to visit Matt so maybe next time.
I’m right with you on the bucket controls my buddy works a Bobcat like he’s one with the machine me on the other hand not so much.
I’d like to hear more about your being a pilot if you don’t mind.
if that’s the windshield washer bottle fill inside the cab door are gonna fill it up?
Yeah, Buddy.
Ephrata is what it is u were in my neck of the woods would have been good to see u if u came up
