Bobcat CT1025 mower deck and other issues

This is an owner venting about real problems on a Bobcat CT1025 with about 120 hours: a mower belt issue, faded plastics after roughly a year or two in Minnesota, broken-off turn signals with no guards, a three-point hitch that rises high enough to smash its own top link, a loader valve that can't lift and curl simultaneously, and rust. It's a blunt complaint list, not a structured review, best for buyers weighing reliability concerns before purchasing.
