What assessor I could you use on the front of this machine for work like the bucket loader the snow blower the plow what please comment back and let me know thank you very much I love this thing
I'm still waiting for my throttle linkage! It's been four freaking months! And I'm not suppose to drive it until it's fixed!
That's nicer and has more options than my pickup lol
Gonthor1000 yeah it is crazy what all you can get! Heated Seats, Dome Light, Carhartt Seat Covers!
great review, surprised the customer didnt take the ac option
I love my kioti tractor
The only thing it’s missing, that should be standard, is a winch.
Ground clearance?
We just bought a 3400xl diesel with only 100 hrs on it. We use it on a mountain to cart people around, collect firewood, and fuel up generators. The only thing were unhappy with is the power of it. Yes it has a lot of torque, but only 24hp makes it feel weak, and it struggles going up some of the steep hills. My question for you guys is, does anybody program theses motors to i.crease overall power and tq? I've had diesel trucks and adding 125 or even 150hp was very easy to do. What is the best tuner or mod to increase the power? I am aware of the speed mod, but we're looking for more then that. Thanks!
The diesel engine offers more power than the gas engine. But that is not something you can change at this point. You might check with your local dealer if they have one you could look at. We sell mostly gas units because it is quite a bit cheaper than the diesel engine. But the diesel does have a little more power than the gas.
No front end implements?
I know this is an older video but I just bought a used 2019 3400. Love it so far! I want to add a plow - do I have to have a Bobcat specific mount or will a full size Ranger mount work?
There are a few differences between the Polaris and Bobcat mounts.
Are are you able to put the plow on this ATV Bobcat please let me know
Oh you don’t know the half of it. Yes you can put the plow on it, fully hydraulic, side tilt, the works. We’ve used it for snow, off-roading, anything.
Are are you able to put the tracks on this or No
There are aftermarket options. But there are no factory options for tracks at this time.
Could you put attachments on this machine like a snow blower or a plow Please comment back
A snow blade is an option. No snow blower.
@@MerzFarmEquip How about the V plow will that go on this Bobcat please let me know
@@martinneps9387 Bobcat does not offer a V-Plow for their UTV. 3rd Party vendors may, but Bobcat does not.
@@MerzFarmEquip Yes I want to do it I would go through a 3rd party I do it all through using have use hook it all up the way it supposed to be OK it's some to think about that goes my kid he watched it Walton do some my snow plowing try to make it a little bit easier for him
So do you think the Kohler diesel is better than the Yanmar Bobcat use to use? i think John Deere uses the Yanmar doesnt it?
Russell Haynes Kohler has been a good engine for us. The Yanmar wasn't bad, it was a good engine too. We have not had major issues on any of them. So we are splitting hairs picking a better one.
Deere does partner with Yanmar for a lot of their smaller diesels. Including their compact tractors.
thank u!
I wonder how well this would do on the farm in Montana it cold weather
We have most of our retailed machines on farms. Many of them have snow blades and run all winter long here in Nebraska.
The machine is truly designed for a farm. The low end torque and load capacity make it a work site vehicle.
What a snow blower be able to be put on this Bobcat please comment back thank you very much
This machine doesn't have a snow blower attachment. It would work for a snow blade.
@@MerzFarmEquip If I purchased this it would have to have soup to nuts at soup to Nuts on everything I could use for this everything I could use for this machine please fill me in on what it's me in on what attachments I could use on this could use on this machine thank you please Comment back thank you very much
How tall of a person will this accommodate. I’m 6’3”
Bobcat UTVs seem to have better/adaquate leg room because if the dash design.
I know Honda is foreign but I wish Bobcat would partner with them instead
How does the Bobcat compare to the Gravely Atlas???
We have not been around Gravely Atlas, so cannot speak to all the differences. They are similar with the base machine. I believe there are some cosmetic changes, the hood and headlights are a different for sure. The box is a bit different. Bobcat has holes in the top of the bed rails, allowing for attachments to be put in easily and quickly. PVC pipe will fit really easy for a DIY attachment to be made. But to know all the differences we would have to be around an Atlas more.
@@MerzFarmEquip Thank you for the reply Merz, I test drove the Atlas 6000 and the Kubota 1140. I would like to learn more about the Bobcat before I make a decision.
F Gravely
No comparison? Kubota has all that AND A/C as well as front and rear PTO
Kubota just released the belt driven model. They only had a hydro option when this video was produced. Bobcat has a 3600 model that would compare to Kubota, being a hydrostat drive. Bobcat also has a 3650 with front attachments. Then the Toolcat that is a UTV and Skid Steer model, with full skid steer hookup options.
yeah and kubota gas and diesel engines are pretty cheap and affordable
Only difference is A polaris is well a (POLARIS) THAT name well says it all lol hell who knows they are all good machines if you treat em right they will treat you right
So why would it not have locking differential? Like the Kaw Mules and others. I mean, it is impressive and you covered it all very well !
The four-wheel drive selector switch controls the front differential lock. The front diff lock happens when the rear wheel spin faster than the front. The differential locks instantly when the operator demands traction.
I LIKE THAT
how much is the basic gas model?
MSRP is $12,799 - However there are always rebates and those are always changing. Cash Rebates or 0% Financing; Spring Rebates, Credit for Accessories, We always offer Free Install for any Accessories purchased at the time of UTV purchase.
Nice,I won't mind a tool cat myself, what's the sticker price of a Tool cat?
Toolcats are going to be up in the $50k+ range
Ok,out of my range then
@@mattbarker7739 They are cool machines and in some applications really a great fit/tool. But for many a skid steer can do more for less.
Is a bucket or rotating brush an option?
Not on the 3400 but it is on the 3650 UTV. The 3650 has a front PTO shaft and the M.A.X. attachment system. They offer a rotating broom, bucket, pallet forks, landplane, mower and a snowblower attachment.
@@MerzFarmEquip ok great thats the model I want to learn more about
Does the door remove? And I assume the 40 mph is on the gas motor. What is top speed on the diesel?
J Creel the doors just lift up off the hinges. They come off in literally 30 seconds! 40 mph kit is available on both Gas and Diesel.
This is not a UTV this is a truck I'm loving it how much would one of these trucks cost me
T Hill the base machine list at $12,699. However they have cash rebates and other offers to get them down to around $11,500. Then you can add accessories.
Do Clark have a non polaris bilt machine, and also how does bobcats compare to Can-am defenders. Here in n.z Kubota hydrostatics are classed as premium ultra reliable machines but I wont go there due to pricing.
conmanumber1 Bobcat has all these machine built by Polaris. The 3600 Series is a Hydrostat drive. Bobcat allows you to add options as you wish. Their controls in the cab version are much handier than the other guys who put their fan control knobs on the passenger side. Also the cab is better laid out for operator space. They do have a "bigger" cab by square footage but it is all wasted space above the operators head.
conmanumber1 and comparing to Can Am I cannot answer, we dont have many of them around here. They are more of a sport machine, where this is more of a work machine. At least in the eyes of our locals.
Merz Farm Equipment polaris is a pos. Honda pioneer with boss v plow is where its at. Walker evans shocks and electric dump with a gear reduction and 89 hp it way way more capable and tows more and hauls more. 4 inch portal gears as well on mine and i change oils every 6 months it has been reliable so far up to 15k miles towing 3000 pounds everyday with 500 lbs of tools in the bed through deep mud. The 30 inch moto monsters help me get through this bobcat would sink and spin.
Alright what’s this utv called I need one
Striking Animals this is a Bobcat 3400 with a lot of options!
Nice
Small trubo would fix any short Cummings.
Never hurts to have a turbo! For a UTV is seems to have decent power, it was never intended to replace a 1-ton pickup. But it has the correct ratio of power to the ground, we probably lack weight if anything.
Same as the Polaris Brutus
Jeremy Eisenhut close. The Bobcat 3650 has the M.A.X. System like the Brutus. The 3600 is a diesel engine with hydrostat. But no front linkage.
That's basically a Polaris
Thats what i was about to comment the windows the heater the speedo all polaris lmao
425hp diesel engine in a utv 6spd
Did this have hydraulics on the front?
This machine did not. The Bobcat 3650 has hydraulics; called the M.A.X. system
price
It depends on accessories. Base MSRP is $13,500
kholer diesel hum it scare me out
It's a ranger full size
Little different rear end and back axle, transmission is torqued different for more pulling and hauling power but similar!
Malo lo del eje trasero solido,que tanto peso puede cargar, con lo que hicieron esta matando el uso como un vehiculo multiple y para recreo , si querian que el vehiculo soporte mas peso , simplemente deberian haber agregado una semi hoja auxiliar para cuando el vehiculo se cargara se apoyara es esta hoja asi soportando este sobre peso y no perderia la opcion como un todo terreno real con una suspension suave , otra cosa cual es el problema de limitar la velocidad del vehiculo , aunque sea de trabajo , se supone que les estan pagando por un vehiculo que esta limitado y el vehiculo no los estan regalando son vehiculos caros , estos vehiculos perfectamente deberian tener una velocidad de crucero de 110kmh y de fabrica el dueño final deberia tener la opcion de limitar la velocidad a voluntad y no que les vendan un vehiculo capado
Is it street legal? I meen its god hy beams, turn signals, and a cab
It is in our community! As long as it is licensed. Which they have to show proof of insurance to get. But it is street legal in our community. It is not legal on the highway in Nebraska.
Merz Farm Equipment thanks i wil look and see if there legal where i live. Also your the best for replying most of the people doing reviews dont reply.
Normally in areas you can plate SxSs, you can only drive them on roads that are posted 45mph or less.
Soek vir plase en karavaanpark en kampe en perdestalle
So is it made in China?
U.S.A. Huntsville, Alabama nmsu of 2018, before that it was Spirit Lake, Iowa.
Nope the coolest thing is the suicide doors
Video ended once you mentioned polaris
Well you watched for at least a bit longer to type the comment ;) If you want to click back and watch it will explain that the machine is built by Polaris but to Bobcat standards. Several things are upgraded on the machine. The engine is torqued differently, therefore performs differently. The rear axle is heavier, the front bumper/grille is different and designed for farm/construction site/work environments.
@@MerzFarmEquip I'm the market for a SxS. Will be either thd honda pioneer 1000-3 or thd yamaha viking 700. Two bulletproof machines
reach back and grab a pepsi. k bud.
Made by Polaris??? NO THANKS!
We will cross you off our potential customer list! Made by Polaris to Bobcat standards. It is work site machine, not a sport machine. The rear end/rear axle is different, with a solid rear axle, suspension is over the axle, not independent. Torque curve is different, engine is programmed differently. It is built for worksites, built to haul, built to pull, built to do work. We have seen them put the test and been worked hard!
Did you X him off?.
conmanumber1 we did! He didnt seem very interested!
I am sure the axles on these bobcats are way better than typical Polaris Rangers, since it is bobcats specs. Bobcat does not want to put out bad units
Russell Haynes we have had guys that have added weight to the rated capacity...like doubled the rated capacity! They haven't had trouble with axles yet...
Polaris has engine - junk in less than 2 years.
We have had good luck with them. We have only replaced 1 engine. That customer said it hadn't been used lightly and had lots of hours on it. So nobody was surprised I guess. Other than that they have been a really solid engine for us.
that unit looks like it is made by polaris garbage not bobcat
Did you watch the video? That is literally explained in the video.
I did not watch whole video because idiot in the video is talking about that unit like it is spaceship
Can’t trust anything Polaris is involved in, Polaris is a garbage screw you over name
We have seen tremendous support from Polaris thru Bobcat. We are sorry you have a different opinion.
They dipped into gravely too
Polaris junk
