.bobcat 225 problem

[SNUNEZ]

Hello folks I need information from you gurus, I had to jump start my 2000 bobcat 225 it only has 610 hrs on it.The problem i see is when it started running on its own i couldn't remove jumper cables without dying , and also there was a spark at jumper to welder connection.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks

Your battery is absolutely shot.
New battery and you're back to work IMO.

I believe jump starting these things is not something these machines like. Somebody who knows more may chime in.

Only the trailblazers are a no..no.. to jump. As for it not running after the battery is replaced be sure to check the charge circuit. Test the new battery with a voltmeter with the engine running, should be 13.5 to 14.5 volts. if its below 13 your charge circuit is the culprit and will need to be fixed, is the engine a kohler or onan?
