John:
You should be able to get your manual from bobcat, or perhaps D/L online. Basically, grease your high wear joints (bucket hinge, boom, tilt rams) and any other associated joints daily, every 8-10 hours or running. Grease your controls once every 50 hours (foot pedals, turn sticks,) etc.
There may be other joints, bobcat owners help me out here....
Chain case oil should be changed annually, engine oil every 100 hours in rough service, 250 hours in genral usage, hydro oil annually. Filters go without saying, when the oil gets dumped, the filters get changed. Since you got a trailer with the machine, I would yank the wheels and check bearings for wear along with checking brake wear. And since you got a backhoe attachment, that also has hinges and pivots which will need it nightly. Make sure your tire pressure is maintained because since it skids to steer, it is very easy to throw a tire right off a rim if they get low. Plan on tires getting replaced every 500 hours.
That's about it unless Bobcat owners can help any better then that because I don't really know their machines like I do a Caterpillar or Gehl.
