Read articles →An owner-operator walks through every step of the 400-hour service on his 2022 Bobcat CT5555, referencing the actual service manual to clarify which lower-interval tasks stack on top. He covers front axle oil, transmission/hydrostat fluid, wet brake drains, hydraulic filter, fuel filter, greasing, and wheel torque checks, sharing real socket sizes, fluid capacities, and a final parts-and-fluids cost of roughly $770. Useful for CT5555 owners planning to do this service themselves.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from his own experience maintaining and troubleshooting his personal CT5555, including candid notes about recurring hydrostat issues.
It includes engine oil and filter, transmission fluid and filter, hydrostat filter, front axle oil, plus everything due at 200, 100, 50, and 10 hour intervals like the fuel filter and inspections.
A 17mm socket removes the front axle drain plug, wet brake drains and main transmission case use 24mm and 30mm sockets, and wheel nuts also check with a 24mm socket.
The owner's fluids and filters totaled about $770 doing the labor himself, and estimated a shop would likely charge roughly double that amount.
He uses Bobcat transmission differential fluid in the hydraulic system because of past transmission problems, hoping to avoid any warranty claim denial.
