I purchased e50 r2. Visibility is awesome, joysticks are smoother and easier to move. I also have ( 2 ) t595 and 1 s595. I usually purchase one new bobcat piece of equipment every year or 2. But recently got price on t66. More than 12000.00 more than t595. Prices are no longer competitive. Starting to rethinking the future of my compact equipment. Bobcat is now more than cat, kubota, John deere, case , wacker neuson etc. Really disappointed in bobcat been a customer for over 20 years . There was nothing wrong with m series loaders . )
@@rontopping2048 don’t get me wrong I like Bobcat we have a E 55 and a T770 and we’ve had cylinder issues with both. The connection into the cylinders are very weak. They don’t take much abuse and the hose will just sheer off. There are not threaded in the cylinder so the only option you have is to weld or replace the cylinder.
Maybe if it’s safe to weld the cylinder, fab a cage and attach to cylinder where the weak fittings are? Not sure if there is clearance for a cage. Just an idea
Password security and individual operator data logging is next level. The machine starts with a password? And each operator with their own password tells the computer who is operating. And furthermore the computer will log all data for said operator. So we now can know who is responsible for what 🧐 based on data logs and passwords used 💡

Did they fix the hydraulic fittings issue. The connection between the cylinder and the hose are easy to brake.
They dont have any hydraulic fitting issues.

@@rontopping2048 I agree with Dozerdennis, My T870 has also had this problem where I shear off the hose with debris.
@@mrandrewdennis1 that’s not good
