Here are some pictures of our 1991 Bobcat 2410 articulated front end loader. It is still a very reliable machine today. We now only use it as our yard machine and I plow with it in the winter. We use it with a one yard heavy material bucket and a 2 yard light material bucket.
To this day I have never seen another Bobcat 2410. I have seen some of the smaller loaders Bobcat used to make. I know we have the only 2410 in New Hampshire. I was wondering if anyone has operated one or even seen one in recent years. And if you have pictures please post!
Hi Tom.
I have recently purchased a Bobcat 2400 loader, a very similar machine to the one you are showing, I believe the 2410 is the same machine as a 2400, just a later model, i think they called them 2410 from 1991/2 on ?
I have no idea when my machine was made, but i think they made them from the late 80's to about 1991/2.
I bought it for snow removal in the winter time, as I have recently bought a property with about 400 yards to the nearest public road. I am sure that this machine will do the job.
As I have just purchased the machine, I dont really know it that well yet. I had the main hydralics line replaced as it was leaking, but even after this procedure the machine still drips fluids in the middle joint where it articulates. I will have to look into that.
The mechanics that changed the hydraulics line had never seen this particular model of Bobcat before, I think they are quite rare...
My main problem with the machine at the moment is that after about 10-15 minutes of continouous driving on a paved road, it drops from high gear into low gear, and I cant get it into high gear again until after it has cooled off for a couple of hours. I told it to the mechanics that changed my hydraulics line, their thought was that maybe one of the hydraulics valves wasn't closing properly, continuously cycling hydraulic oil around the system, heating up the oil and thus making the machine go into low gear. Any thoughts on that?
The person I bought the machine from did not have any kind of documentation for the machine, so I do not own any kind of manuals for it. However I was fortunate to find a maintenance manual online as a pdf file for the 2400/2410 series, but I am yet to come across the owners manual - any idea where I can get a pdf of the owners manual for this?
I have attached a couple of images of the Bobcat 2400
