I have held off doing this video for several months. The Bobcat T250 has been a constant groundhog day of trouble since I bought a dead 250 on Aug 1 2021. After exhausting my entire equipment budget and another 56K this thing is still not done throwing monkey wrenches at me.
Hydraulic drive motors were built by a rebuilder known as "DC Heavy Hydraulics" in Union SC. Both drive motors have been out several times under warranty. The Hydrostatic pumps may be failing just outside of warranty. And the hydraulic system is again causing issues. Hard sticks, no counter rotation, free wheeling down hill, lack of power, no steering, all phantom problems that come and go until recently. I had hoped that I would have some closure by now. However the day after this was filmed in Oct/Nov 2022 I loaded it up and hauled it to a repair shop in Pacolet SC where I have been waiting on a diagnosis ever since. I had hoped that DC would make right their sloppy work on the motors however I fulfilled their request for pressure tests and submitted the pressures, and have never heard back from them. IM DONE WITH BOBCAT...........
