They aren't even bobcat built. They're a Korean brand
Slow idle speed may help the touchy lever
Did you perform a Break In service on the tractor? Engine and Hydraulic oil change after 50hrs. I could see that being the cause of the front bucket being touchy and the leak down.
great vid! wanted to see what consumption would be with a trailer this size. also have a lighting er, planning to tow similar trailer so this gives me a good gauge what to expect for range. you didn't mention your consumption from the trip but based on using 39% for 49.5miles of towing at 60mph with some elevation changes with an Extended Range nets you 1 mile/kwh. this is pretty expected because the camper adds alot of energy consumption. I think some don't realize how efficient the trucks actually are compared to how much energy is required to tow a camper.
So it calculates the range from the trailer weight automatically before you even leave, did you put in trailer weight or is it estimated from the tongue weight? I’ve got a single axel 20’TT weigh 5100lb gross and looking to get a 2024 Lightning Flash ext battery. We usually camp within 100mile radius so I’m just trying to figure if this will work for us, any other daily driving will just be county to and from work about 20miles. We do home charge as we currently have a Tesla MY! Can I ask if you’re using public chargers what your average cost is to charge?
You didn’t tell us what the mi/kwh was. That’s all the matters
I wonder if the situation with the bucket sagging is similar to your brake pedal. Possibly just a very slight amount of pressure or bouncing is causing the lever to move?
With a box blade, a hydraulic top link will be your best freind ! Please trust me on this.
Sounds like the dealer is the best part of this tractor. The gears getting stuck are a good thing meaning the teeth are tight!!!
Bobcat just sent me this tractor to make videos about. Trying to understand why it needs a clutch hydrostatic tractor. How are you liking it now? Just starting the video.
I'm looking to buy electric because I would rather give my money to America rather than Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq.
I really wish some of you would be able to look further into the future. If you spend your whole life in the past you'll never move forward.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it
The panel is 240 v and the generator is 120v. How did that workout?
I'm sure it didn't work out well. The two legs powered by the generator are in phase, so there will be no voltage across them. None of the electrical that requires 220v would work. A 30 amp RV outlet is only 110v single phase. To do this properly, he needs a generator with a 30 amp 220v outlet and cords that are not for RVs.
Try this on leveling. After first straight line trips, Approach next two trips at 30 det angle approach. Only on final pass after shooting grades, marking low spots, Fill with front bucket rather than move placed material does one really work the draft control. You will soon learn the tractor and blade combo.For quick results push out top link, more cutting and drop tines 1 hole.
Does it work in reverse? I read somewhere it didn’t.
The CT2025 itself when well maintained is a great sub tractor … the implements and the heated cab manufactured by Bobcat are absolute GARBAGE!!! Constantly repairing and fabricating their useless cheap Chinese shit!!! All of my Bobcat implements are on blocks waiting to be scrapped and I bought new implements from REAL manufacturers that realize I use my tractor for work and reliability!!!! Cruise control???? NEVER!!!!! That’s just pure lazy! Also those little complaints of yours are ridiculous and I’m surprised you can actually operate your tractor. You sound a bit effeminate and maybe a Ford would be a better choice. I bet you ride that tractor wearing socks and sandals 😆😆😆😆😆😆
It’s way lowder than the Champion and predator inverter generators…
All in all it does not seam like a well built machine.
How much gas is needed typically for a full load ?
You should never "Hot" start a generator. By that i mean start it with anything plugged in. Fail.
Any reason you didn’t just buy a 30 AMP intel box instead of the 50 AMP box? Wouldn’t that eliminate the adapter? Getting ready to do this and just wanted to know the reason. Could it be that you wanted the option to upgrade to a generator that requires 50 AMP? Also, is the circuit breaker you are using 30AMP or 50AMP?
Smart thing to do is obviously go bigger on the inlet you do this incase you need to run a 10000 plus generator to run the hvac system …. A 30 amp wouldn’t be able to start the a/c it’s common sense
The big problem is this person talks soooo slowly it could be condensed to 3 seconds!!! Ffs
Wana control how he talks? 😂
Can you tell me what the black lever is just below the loader controls? I just got my 2025 yeaterday
It looks like the Draft Control for the 3-point
What does this kit cost installed by the dealer?
What you are not explaining, which honestly is one of the most important points, is that you are taking a 120v generator output, and splitting that feed, which is feeding both legs of your panel 120v single phase. In turn, all 120v house circuits will then work...but also none of the 240v would work...which is fine in most cases. I would suggest a few changes in your start-up process. Turn off all 240v breakers, turn off all refrigerators and electronics breakers, and keep the generator breaker off until the generator is up and running. Then turn on the generator breaker and then the refrigerator breakers. Keep all 240v breakers off until the generator is removed and normal power restored. Don't crank up the generator with live circuits that will be under load.
My experience has been that the sticky gear selector is a Hydro Stat thing. I use the accelerator on my Kubota to easily get it to go into gear every time.
nice... question, how is that dog bone inside, it has a jumper in both hots?
The problem with buying one of these tractors is the Bobcat does not make this tractor, furthermore I heard that Bobcat is getting out of this market and this tractor will become obsolete which may make parts difficult if not impossible to find in the future resulting in the resale value falling a lot. Good luck !
Bobcat is not getting out of the market
It’s a white Kioti. Parts are interchangeable, it’ll be perfectly fine for many years.
Yup, so many companies are rebranding tractors then years down the road the customer cant get parts. I'm a huge Deere fan but I would rather see someone get a Kubota before all these cheap competitors.
To switch it to a different gear while you’re using go to neutral and hit the gas a little bit and then try that’s what I learned
JD 1025R does the same thing with the transmission lever. Gets stuck. Rock the HST pedals and it frees it up to move to neutral for starting.
I have purchased a slightly larger wen generator the 4500 W generator. These smaller generators aren’t like normal generators. They only put out 120 V. The much larger and noisier gasoline powered generators usually put out 240 V and 120 V. So my question is I see that you can power both sides of your electrical panel. I was wondering how the electrician wired your generator in to do that? I have my house set up With a larger 240 V 9400 W generator. It’ll power the whole house no problem, everything all at the same time but boy is it noisy. I also would like to hook up my house the same way you did yours and just cut off the items I don’t need , and have it a lot quieter. So if you could reply back and give me some idea how you could split off 120 V generator to power both sides of your electrical panel I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Bob Phelan.
It's very simple. You wire the inlet power box as normal for 240V. You purchase a short converter cord (as shown in this video) that takes the generator 120v output and splits it into two separate 120v feeds. If you won't be needing any 240v circuits this is actually more efficient that running 240v and only using 120v circuits. The reason its more efficient is that you are only having to manage total load, rather than two individual loads (per leg). Hope that makes sense.
Wen does have one with remote start 4500
That's what I've heard. Updated model has a few more features that I would love to have.
For an average house need a 5000w generator to power the whole house. I have two 5000w, one for the house and one for my workshop.
Tons of things I foresee as problems for the way I use my truck. My camper trailer is around 8000 lbs when fully loaded. I use my trailer in cold weather, Mid November in Canada. Cold weather has an impact on battery life. Very few charging stations especially where I live and just try charging that truck with a 30 foot trailer attached to it. I would need to disconnect somewhere and then reconnect. Typically I travel about 150 miles one way so a round trip about 300 miles. I do like the concept of EV vehicles but in my opinion there not ready for my use. Factor in power outages or stuck in winter traffic😮.
I hear you. It's a lot like being out in the great frontiers right now. Things are moving towards helping with these issues, but right now, this really works well for some, but not there yet for most use cases. It's exciting seeing what the future can potentially become, when I drive this pickup. BTW, cold weather range drain is big. I'm reliably at a loss of 24% at freezing or below. Does get better around the 40 degree mark, but that is HUGE if you weren't in a position to manage it.
It's definitely situational. Like you said, for your use it doesn't sound like EV is quite there yet. For me it works great. Also as a side note about being stuck in winter traffic - even though batteries don't like the cold, EVs are still more efficient in winter traffic than ICE vehicles because ICE vehicles need to continue consuming gas to idle as the motor runs.
I did not have the same curl sagging issues as you, but after my first service, where I replaced the hydraulic filters and all hydraulic fluid cured all my issues with my sloppy front loader. It also removed a majority of the whining sound. Now looking into having the hydraulic pressure checked out the loader just to make sure I’m getting the correct pressure. My loader issues didn’t come till about 70 hours on the tractor. My issue was the curl and uncurl cylinders were very sloppy like they had air in them.
we have the same truck!!! loving mine as well
What color is that? Is that the Iconic Silver or the Ice Blue Silver? It looks nice!
Iconic Silver. I didn't get a chance to see the iced blue silver in person until after I placed an order. I do like that color option though.
Just received my WEN 3800 inverter generator. I'm looking at fuel conversion kits for natural gas for a endless fuel source. Natural gas has never let me down during outages. You are doing exactly what I've been doing only power necessities. Clean and simple install nice work.
This is an absolutely awesome video. You have given me a great idea. I have two of the wen 2250s with the parallel kit. This could be a good setup 👌
So what were you able to actually run with this generator? Most of your major circuits were turned off.
During our last outage I was able to run the circuits for both kitchen and garage fridges, septic pumps, all lights interior and exterior circuits, multiple TV's, and use of gas furnace. The one thing I didn't try, that I would like to experiment more with, is the electric hot water heater we've got. But, this is only a 30 amp Gen circuit, so wouldn't attempt with the rest of that load. Handled the rest without problems, and ran it in eco for a few days.
@@braburghfarm493 Thanks! Sounds like the perfect little generator that will handle your basic needs for an average power outage. Great video!
@@braburghfarm493can you please answer my question. Ty
@@braburghfarm493Don't run anything on a double pole breaker with that setup.
That your bucket uncurls tells me that either you cylinders or valve body is leaking internally. Seeing that you have two cylinders for your bucket it's unlikely that it's your cylinders. That would be warranty work. I operate a crane. If any function would seep it would be taken out of service untill fixed.
Interesting, so with an internal leak, no loss of fluid on the ground to indicate. I've monitored the levels, and it doesn't seem to show fluid loss. Something I will have to ask about when it goes into the shop. Thanks.
Hi. Great video. Can you share a link to the longer power cord you used?
Great video. FYI…the new WEN 3800 now comes with remote start/shut off. I sold my inverter like yours and miss it but will be buying the new version on the next sale.
Thanks for the info!
I've been looking for this. I can't find one with remote start and shut off.
You need to tell your viewers that that generator only puts out 120VAC! You have a 50/2 pole breaker but you can only put one leg from the generator into it. This means only one phase of your panel is energized! All the breakers/ loads you want on need to be on that phase. Start generator, shed loads, turn off main & 50/2 pole on & turn on breakers. Good luck!
I mean he made it pretty clear he wasnt/isn't a Electrician and also said to make sure to consult a Electrician if interested in doing it
@@LocozillaYT Oh, well that makes his video very educational!
The 30 amp to 50 amp adapter he is using will energize both legs of his panel so he can use any 120 breaker. I know because I do this myself.
Not clear how you can power a main panel that requires 240V with a generator that only has a 120V output.....
@@xbleriot He is only powering 120V devices with this method.
That’s terrible
Not impressed. I expect a truck to do "truck" things. Please let us know what the range performance is when you have the family and a loaded trailer on a 100 mile road trip.
I have the CT2025 as well. About 40 hours on it, and similar issues except for the loader un-curling. I use my loader a lot, and never an issue. Gonna keep an eye on that now as I put more hours on it! Thanks @GOATbro
Enjoy it! I'm getting ready to install the expensive armrests from bobcat. Hoping that helps out the control like others have suggested.
worked for mine!
So your extended range was estimated to be over 300 miles. You were down to 76% after 50 miles not towing anything. You drove 49 miles with the trailer and most of that was downhill or a loss of elevation. You ended up with 37% of battery which was almost 40% battery loss in 49 miles. If you try to pull that trailer on a 120 mile round trip you will be lucky to get home without charging again. You will also need to add supplies and water to that trailer weight which will drop your range further. Is there an error in the math above?? This is the extended range model?? Better have a generator in that trailer.
So you stop at a fast charger for 20min, 10$, good to go. Cheers
Keep in mind the initial 308 mile estimate is a calculation based on NOT towing a trailer. As soon as you select your trailer on the infotainment system the algorithm takes the inputted trailer dimensions/weight into account and provides a new estimate. Though he only drove 49 miles on the trip out to get to the trailer's location the "mile estimator" went down by 72 miles. Some of that could from using battery for climate control, battery conditioning, and so on, but as a general note I've also noticed that the estimates are a little generous. For example if the truck says I have 200 miles of range and I drive 50 miles, instead of my new estimate being 150 it will have actually gone down a little more, maybe to 140 or 135. Your math is correct though. Towing 49 miles used 39% of his battery. Using a ratio you can determine that at that rate, 100% battery would take you 125 miles while towing the trailer (if under the same driving conditions). Overall I'm very impressed with my Lightning. At 100% charge I was able to do a 175 mile round trip, towing an 18' boat the entire time AND returned home with 15% battery remaining. I'm getting significantly more range than this guy while towing because a camper is basically a big box which is NOT aerodynamic, compared to a boat.
Hi,I’m not an expert but I think you need to first start the generator, let it warm and stabilize and only after that go to your panel and start loading it one circuit at a time. I have a smaller generator but it can handle all my essentials
Correct. It should be started and warmed up a few minutes before flipping the generator breaker.
