Bobcat Tractor Hydraulic Issues Part 1
I was hoping to make this a before/ after video all in one, however it has been 5 weeks since I originally made the first half of this video and I still do not have a repaired tractor. So, I decided to put this video up as Part 1 of what I hope is only a 2-part series.
I have been having lift capacity and hydrostat problems since this tractor was new. After 10 months the dealer thinks they have figured out what is causing both issues. The dealer theorizes that the hydraulic pump on my tractor is bad. What I've been told is that there is a serial number break where Bobcat changed hydraulic valving on their pumps. My tractor's serial number falls in the "old-style" pump category. Apparently, not all old-style pumps are bad. Bobcat has stated that if you have hydraulic problems within the first 10 hours on a new tractor that is indicative of a bad pump, if you make it past 10 hours with no problems your pump should be fine. My tractor had lift capacity problems from the first day.
The hydraulic pump replacement process is very extensive and invasive. First, they have to remove the cab and then split the tractor in two in order to remove the pump. What is interesting is that the valving that was changed on the updated pump is on the outside of the tractor and in full view when looking on the side of the transmission just in front of the right rear tire. However, you cannot replace the valving without removing the pump which requires all of the teardown.
