Strengths Very tough tractor. Plenty of power in low range. Bucket digs well. Fun to operate. Excellent buy.

Weaknesses Small toolbox (replacing with a larger one from a farm supply store), not a lot of power in high range.

Overall Great machine. I am still getting it broken in (only have 25 hours on it) but so far, I love this tractor. I got this tractor and loader for just over $12,000 with tax out the door after the Bobcat rebates and free FEL. A lot of machine for the money!

Strengths I i PURCHASED A BOBCAT CT 235 APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO FROM A LOCAL DEALER. I COULD NOT BELIIEVE THE TRACTOR THAT I RECEIVED FOR THE $. ERGONOMICS ARE GREAT. LOADER WORKS WELL AND THE TRACTOR SEEMS TO HAVE ALL THE POWER NEEDED FOR EVERYDAY USE ON MY 6 ACRE RESIDENCE. 3PT HITCH WORKS GREAT AND THE POWER STEERING IS EASY ENOUGH TO TURN WITH ONE FINGER WHEN THE BUCKET IS LOADED. BUCKET ALSO APPEARS STABLE WHEN LOADED AND THE HYDROLICS ARE SMOOTH.

Weaknesses HIGH RANGE IS ONLY USEFUL WHEN ON A ROADWAY OR FLAT LEVEL GROUND.

Overall GREAT TRACTOR FOR THE PRICE. WITH REBATES OFFERED AND A FREE LOADER BUCKET, THIS TRACTOR CLEARLY IS ABOVE IT'S COMPETITION. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THIS TRACTOR TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A COMPACT, HYDROSTATIC 4X4 TRACTOR. INDUSTRIAL TIRES FLOAT WELL ON THE SOFT GROUND AND LAWN WITH MARRING THE GRASS. OVERALL A++++ SO FAR.
