- I always say buy the dealer and take their tractor but with Bobcat I am going to make an exception. Here is what I find troubling about Bobcat Compact Tractors.
I hope Bobcat Compact Tractors is successful. Competition is good for you and me as consumers

Bought a new Bobcat CT4050HST a couple of months ago and it is a beast, I love it.
Just bought a new CT2040 with backhoe, loader and grappler today. Full send!
Daedong is the largest heavy equipment company in the world. Revered for ultra high quality equipment worldwide. So, yes, the Bobcat Tractor is a good bet. Kioti/Bobcat, built by Daedong, are proven to be the most reliable tractors made. Reliability that surpasses both John Deere and Kubota.
I have a 2021 CT 2025 it’s a great tractor I’m not worried about parts in the future I’m sure they will be available
That's good to know. Thanks. I was looking at Bobcat and Kioti as there is are dealers for both nearby.
I was going to buy a CT 1021 Bobcat tractor last week they wanted $17,433,63 out the door at $365 48 Months I told them I don't want or need a front end loader or bucket only tractor and 60" mower they said if they take it off it would cost me $1000 more I asked why they said for labor charge and they would have to try to sell it im glad that you told the truth about this Company just found this I will be looking at a Kubota or something Monday
I just got a new Kubota Bx 2380 without a front loader got 60" mower deck and rototiller I'm really liking it the salesman were very helpful
Bobcat is building a giant factory in North Carolina for their tractor line up. It’ll be all in country. 2025/26 I think they’ll be rolling them out.
Great to listen to your video. Bobcat has started producing the CT20XX in North Carolina this month, it will be exactly like the one from Korea. Bobcat purchased the designs from Kioti at the start of this reentry into the tractor business. The US produced tractor will start shipping soon.
Thank you.
I have a 2011 CT440 (from the original tractor line). Had it since it was brand new, It’s a great machine!
Me too. I bought mine around 2008
In house I think is a great thing. They realized they have a great chance to capitalize on the compact tractor market and make those tractors with the bobcat quality we all expect. Their mowers are such high quality and can’t wait to see what they eventually do with their compact tractors. Buying Steiner and competing with ventrac is also a very smart move.
I wouldn't worry about it as long as 99% of the parts are interchangeable with Kioti.
I think they are.
That's really the key point. Once you have purchased one, parts support and serviceability are all you really care about. Even if they pull manufacturing in house which is their stated intention, that doesn't mean they can not also have a service agreement with Daedong for their older tractors. There is risk with Bobcat sure but also risk of Iseki leaving Massey or Yanmar leaving Deere.
The difference with Bobcat is their previous history.
@@CountryCraziness Are you saying that the first time around they let owners hanging with no service and parts support after they got out of the business?
@Country Craziness
What redneck ed said. If KIOTI goes out of business that is the company that sales the tractor, hence no more support. If Bobcat stops selling tractors the company is still there for support and they are an equipment company that could still offer support. Unlike if Rural King got out of the tractor business.
Good information TY
Want a tractor with support from a long standing brand? Just buy a Newkubdeerguson. 😂
I'm buying a 4050 tomorrow,I don't think this concerns me.
I would hope Doosan just tries to go the route of Agco or CNH and just goes with a common platform product so each one may be different but uses the same powertrain. With the tech today they could build 2 machines on the same line and they may only have 50% of the same parts or less . But Frames, Engines, Trans and axles are the same the specs and look and options are different.
I love my CT2025 and I’m not worried at all. Bobcat is great and I’m sure they will take care of their customers. Lots of manufacturers have produced one or two year only models and nobody is really complaining.
I bought a New Holland tractor that ended up being only made for one year. I still have it 20 years later. It has been obsolete since the year it was built. Still runs great and still can find parts.
They sure look good 👍
I have a skid steer and 2040, both good machines. As long as Bobcat does not peel off from the koreans we are in good shape.
Kubota tractors are 1005 Kubota from front to rear. Their insurance covers all issues including damage and much more.
I bought a CT2040 about 1.5 years ago.....kinda have me nervous about parts and what not in the future........
Don't be worried. I own a 1978 Dynahoe-190
BUCYRUS-ERIE got out of the Construction equipment Manufacturer business in the mid 1980s. just stuck with mining. Now CAT owns them. I have investment stock with CAT. I can't get parts for my Dynahoe anymore. But you know what. I'v always found good equipment shops that have helped me. I can't even buy the Hydraulic filters for her anymore. There will always be someone who can help on your tractor. This guy is making this video because he is worried about his personal Tractor. I bought my Dynahoe in 2003 very long after the 80s, just take what people say on U-Tube with a grain of salt. Watch for something more than what is said here. Look at some of the FAKE commercials you get on U-Tube. Like the little plug in to your car ECU to save you gas. Just total BS.
I have a 2021 CT4050. It is a nice tractor and have no serious complaints. Bobcat has had supply chain issues like every other manufacturer out there. Deere, Kubota and the others all source parts from around the globe. That is how the global economy works. I saw a story talking about a new Bobcat production facility in the south. Not sure if the future models will be different or not. It does not matter. I have a John Deere 1025R I purchased in 2020. The design of that tractor has undergone significant changes, and some parts/accessories are no longer made because of the design changes. Deere will support my 1025R to the extent possible. I believe Bobcat will do the same. I do not expect them to drop out of the compact tractor market again. Their competition with Kubota in the commercial equipment area will force them to stay in the tractor market to keep overall market share.
Hope your right. The more the better.
@@CountryCraziness kubota has the best tractors on the market all over the world at there 500,000 dealers across the globe
The only part of the in and out of the subcompact sellers is the chance of not getting parts in the future. I'm looking at getting a small loader tractor with a 60 inch belly mower next year and am open to any advice
John Deere definitely has the easiest to used belly mowers on the market
No doubt. And JD improved the mowers rigidity. The 2020 and priors had some stress issues, caused by the drive over. The only issues I have DJ is two; 1- Tractor Price/ parts price-2- If you need to add an implement, you got get from JD. I checked the 1025R I loved it. @@TractorTristen
I think new Holland make the same model it's a 8n I think ?
Let's get one thing straight if you have a coyote machine that hasn't given you trouble then you consider yourself lucky and you must be a gentle user and that's great for you I bought a 2022 ck3510 hydrostat and I've had two major issues that cost me $2,000 the dealer is a criminal and kioti refuse to honor their own warranty a machine with 50 hours on it
Sorry you had a crappy experience. I beat my DK5310SE hard with no problems so far.
Stuck.... Not sure what to buy and I'm in the market freag...
Did Kubota make the L3301 obsolete with their new L3302?
That's a horse of a different color. Or, if you prefer, you're comparing apples to oranges. Kubota made and stands behind their L3301 tractors. They will continue to make and supply replacement parts for the machines for a long time. In contrast, Bobcat does not make their current line of compact tractors. When their contract with Daedong ends, Bobcat owners will be at the mercy of Daedong for replacement parts. Even if Bobcat wants to, it won't be able to make parts for the tractors made by Daedong.
Bobcat's contract may require Daedong to supply parts for a reasonable period after the contract ends. Daedong may choose to supply those parts for an even longer period. However, it is reasonable to wonder how much energy Daedong will expend on providing parts for their competitor's customers. Once Bobcat starts making their own tractors, what incentive would Daedong have to keep Bobcat customers happy? Kubota has an incentive to keep their current customers happy by supplying parts for orphaned tractors. Bobcat will have a similar incentive, but they will be dependent on Daedong to supply parts. Daedong will have no incentive to keep Bobcat customers happy (an unhappy Bobcat owner is a potential buyer of a new tractor from one of Daedong's brands).
Would any of this keep me from buying a Bobcat? Probably not. But, if I were to buy a Bobcat I'd definitely take all of the above into account. If the price is close to the same, why take on this risk when a can just get a Kioti instead?
Just got a CT40, even after considering these issues. After speaking with the dealer and HQ I'm not worried. It's a great machine. And not a fan of your clickbait title.
My concerns about Bobcat aside, Daedong makes great tractor. I am sure you will enjoy it.
I love my Kioti tractor, 1 year old and 105 hours.
Which one?
@@CountryCraziness DK4710 HST Cab
The DK is really a great size. Plenty big but maneuverable.
Kioti sells 10 times the amount of tractors and farm equipment than bobcat does. Bobcat went down hill ever since doosan bought em.
You hit the nail on the head Sir!
Go with a John Deere or Kabota. Why waste your money on a imported, obsolete brand? Would you buy a lesser brand skid steer?
Why not just to buy Kioti ?
Exactly.
Old men be saying crazy stuff
I read they were first with da dong, this time they partnered with doosan!!???
The tractor in the video is a white Kioti CK. There 2019 press release also says Daedong
Jerry - Doosan owns Bobcat. The Bobcat tractors are built by Daedong.
Bobcat is owned by Doosan too, so the DaeDong made tractors will become the frickled red heated stephchild pretty quick.
I'm not impressed with daedong
Very silly philosophy….
Buy old school an be a man and fix it
buy a john deere or a michindra much better oprtions
bobcat....keep to making skidsteers your sub compacts are the worst mistake you made again
