Read articles →This is an owner venting about real problems on a Bobcat CT1025 with about 120 hours: a mower belt issue, faded plastics after roughly a year or two in Minnesota, broken-off turn signals with no guards, a three-point hitch that rises high enough to smash its own top link, a loader valve that can't lift and curl simultaneously, and rust. It's a blunt complaint list, not a structured review, best for buyers weighing reliability concerns before purchasing.
Posted by owner Joe Campbell, sharing frustrated firsthand impressions from his own tractor rather than a dealer or manufacturer perspective.
No. The owner says the loader valve is not great and it will only do one function at a time, either up or down or curl, not curl and lift together.
Yes. The turn signals broke off within about a week because there is nothing guarding them, according to the owner.
The owner says it comes up so high that it can smash the top link, because unlike other brands it was not dented in to prevent the top link from hitting it.
No. At about 120 hours he says he is not happy with the tractor or mower, calls it a pile of crap, and recommends a Kubota or John Deere instead.
