@@TheCompleteLife Not enough power for the snow blower. It just barely throws the snow. My little Kubota BX23 could throw snow twice as far. When you put the machine in float it pulls the whole machine to the side (just doesn't work). Had the dealer look at it and they said it seems to be setup fine. The machine is extremely tippy compared to a tractor or skid steer - definitely not something I would have run on anything but pavement or a flat yard. Had my operator buddies run it doing snow removal and they all said it was a pretty bad machine. Called bobcat to discuss and they couldn't even have someone call me back (basically said just talk to the dealership which was zero help). I was excited about trying the Bobcat brand but left with a bad taste. The only good thing I can say is the cab and heater are great. Hopefully I saved you a headache. What were you thinking about using it for?
@TK-ck6xf we run a tree service / landscape/ construction business. We have 2 skid steers from bobcat which are great and 2 excavators. We were loving the idea of being able to go across lawns and not tear them up. Maybe i should ask bobcat for a demo of one first... Thanks alot!
@@TheCompleteLife If the main concern is tearing up a lawn I would consider a small tractor over it. My Kubota BX is pretty low impact and could do pretty much what the L28 could do. Since you are sitting over the front wheels on the L28 it's easy to get it to tip. I would pick up a bucket of snow, try to turn out and easily put it on two wheels. See that video on UA-cam of the construction company that tipped one. Very hard to go from running a skidsteer or tractor to this thing. If a tractor isn't in the cards I would consider a loader where you sit over the back wheels like the L65.
One of the strengths of these small articulated loaders are their lifting capacity with pallet forks. The weakness of sub compact tractors is their limited lift capacity.
Avant- copy
😍
Will you ever add AC to this unit on the enclosed cab.
Its only got 25hp and is already a little underpowered. That is the last thing I'd want on mine.
@@flynnpaul26 I'm just wondering 🤔, because Kioti has an enclosed cab with heat and ac with a 25 hp engine.
Nothing about salting though??
Underpowered junk. Bobcat doesn't stand behind it. Sold mine after 2 months.
Was thinking to get one.
What happend?
Underpowered how?
