    We just bought a 3400xl diesel with only 100 hrs on it. We use it on a mountain to cart people around, collect firewood, and fuel up generators. The only thing were unhappy with is the power of it. Yes it has a lot of torque, but only 24hp makes it feel weak, and it struggles going up some of the steep hills. My question for you guys is, does anybody program theses motors to i.crease overall power and tq? I've had diesel trucks and adding 125 or even 150hp was very easy to do. What is the best tuner or mod to increase the power? I am aware of the speed mod, but we're looking for more then that. Thanks!

    • @MerzFarmEquip
      @MerzFarmEquip  5 лет назад

      The diesel engine offers more power than the gas engine. But that is not something you can change at this point. You might check with your local dealer if they have one you could look at. We sell mostly gas units because it is quite a bit cheaper than the diesel engine. But the diesel does have a little more power than the gas.

Bobcat also has a 3650 with front attachments. Then the Toolcat that is a UTV and Skid Steer model, with full skid steer hookup options.

      Never hurts to have a turbo! For a UTV is seems to have decent power, it was never intended to replace a 1-ton pickup. But it has the correct ratio of power to the ground, we probably lack weight if anything.

    How does the Bobcat compare to the Gravely Atlas???

    • @MerzFarmEquip
      @MerzFarmEquip  6 лет назад

      We have not been around Gravely Atlas, so cannot speak to all the differences. They are similar with the base machine. I believe there are some cosmetic changes, the hood and headlights are a different for sure. The box is a bit different. Bobcat has holes in the top of the bed rails, allowing for attachments to be put in easily and quickly. PVC pipe will fit really easy for a DIY attachment to be made. But to know all the differences we would have to be around an Atlas more.

      Russell Haynes Kohler has been a good engine for us. The Yanmar wasn't bad, it was a good engine too. We have not had major issues on any of them. So we are splitting hairs picking a better one.
      Deere does partner with Yanmar for a lot of their smaller diesels. Including their compact tractors.

    • @MerzFarmEquip
      @MerzFarmEquip  6 лет назад

      conmanumber1 Bobcat has all these machine built by Polaris. The 3600 Series is a Hydrostat drive. Bobcat allows you to add options as you wish. Their controls in the cab version are much handier than the other guys who put their fan control knobs on the passenger side. Also the cab is better laid out for operator space. They do have a "bigger" cab by square footage but it is all wasted space above the operators head.

    • @MerzFarmEquip
      @MerzFarmEquip  6 лет назад

      conmanumber1 and comparing to Can Am I cannot answer, we dont have many of them around here. They are more of a sport machine, where this is more of a work machine. At least in the eyes of our locals.
