I have sold several T86’s for mulching applications and the results have been good. If somebody wants a video breakdown of the T86 let me know and I’ll do one on my channel.
Nice video, driver uses it like he owns it, nice and controlled, not showing off for the camera. Thumbs up. I'm considering upgrading my T770 for the T86, pondering. Not for commercial work, a residence with 50 acres.
As a total package (machine, dealer etc) the bobcat is the obvious choice. In terms of head to head performance? The cat is a tried and true machine. But bobcats T86 newcomer is their best CTL they’ve ever made…
What kind of hydraulic temps are you seeing? Are able to keep the debris from settling on the top of the hood? I run a T770, but it looks like it’s time to think about an upgrade! Thanks for the video.
@@michaelthompson9559 we haven’t seen a temp above 174 this summer. The machine sucks air in from the back now instead of the top. It’s cooling system is setup similar to the cat 299.
@@michaelthompson9559I’ve been running a T86 forestry with a Loftness head this week. Temps in upper 90s, high humidity. A/c full blast, mulching from 10-530 with only a 10 minute shutdown to blow out the screens and refuel and I haven’t seen ECTs over 200 and hydraulic temps haven’t past 172. This machine runs circles around the T770 in all metrics when mulching.
The one thing I’ve noticed is that boxcar doesn’t seem to have the cooling down better. They have always over heated in hot weather compared to to some other brands. I don’t trust them in hot weather climates
