Hello from scotland I have a customer with 2023 model Bobcat T86. It has been tipped over and the engine has ran away, we need to wind off the brake packs on the finals to pull the machine to where it can be recovered. Does anyone know if there is away of doing this on these machines? Skids steers are not very common over here Thanks

    Looking at a photo of the machine, can you pull the bolts holding the sprockets on the drives and pull it like that with the sprockets rotating on the drive?

    No way to release brakes on a Bobcat track machine. I suppose you could. . . By using a hydraulic power pack to apply pressure to release the brakes, but still won't really roll. Brute force is your friend, bigger machine or tow truck.
