3 Things To Consider Before Buying Bobcat Motors

final drive motor for a bobcat

Certain construction equipment companies have become favored over time, in part due to their reliability and the quality of their products. This includes John Deere, Komatsu, and (of course) Bobcat. There is more of a demand for construction equipment now than ever before. This is reflects in the number of jobs in the industry, which as of 2016 was approximately 426,000. But even though the demand is high, it’s not unheard of that the most reliable pieces of equipment will fail from time to time. If and when they do, it’s important to know that you’re sourcing the new parts that you buy, especially if they include drive motors or travel motors, from reliable companies.

While it’s not unheard of for machines to be taken apart and for used parts to be sold, you should make sure that if you’re interested in that kind of product, you understand the pros and cons of a used product versus a new one. For that matter, should you be in the market for new aftermarket parts, you need to be sure that you’re buying them from a company that will treat your order with the utmost care. The fact is that while you can rely on the original manufacturer to produce quality equipment, the source that you’re buying replacement parts from can make or break your business. Let’s look into some of things you should take into consideration when choosing who to buy from.


1. Variety


Depending on the kind of operation that you’re running, you may own one particular type of machine or you may own machines sourced from several different manufacturers. One month, you may need a new aftermarket final drive motor for a Bobcat and you may be looking for John Deere final drives the next. Therefore, it may be a good idea to establish an ongoing working relationship with a company that can provide a bit of variety. For that matter, if you’re looking for a new machine in general — even if the company specifically deals in parts — you may be able to turn to them for advice and expertise on which machine is best for your purposes. Ultimately, that variety and availability allows you to compare products and decide what is best for you, rather than being boxed into a single type of product.


2. Installation


It’s one thing to buy a new aftermarket final drive motor for a Bobcat; it’s another thing entirely to have it installed. Even if you’re willing to invest the time and energy into installing the piece of equipment yourself (whether it’s an aftermarket final drive motor for a Bobcat or another product), that’s not always the best idea if you don’t have a supplier that can help you with the installation. Because these machines are fairly complex, it can be difficult to install new pieces of equipment if you haven’t been properly trained or guided to do so. An improper installation could lead to the total failure of your machine, losing you a lot of money. However, there is also the concern of safety. If you look at an OEM-equivalent or aftermarket final drive motor for a Bobcat, and indeed the Bobcat itself, both have their risks to watch out for. In order for your new product to be safely and efficiently installed, you should be able to rely on the company you ordered it from in the first place. See if this is an option before you make the final decision regarding the company you ultimately decide to work with.


3. Delivery


There are many advantages to working with a company that can install the equipment, but you’ll also want to make sure that the equipment is delivered safely and in a timely fashion. At times, equipment does need to be sourced by the company itself before it is delivered, but you should never have to wait an extended period of time for a common part. A downed machine can cause you to lose a good deal of time — and time is money. Therefore, make sure that the company you’re working with has a great reputation in terms of delivery time. You’ll be glad that you did!
