So are the blades reversible with two cutting edges or no?

Thanks for the video man!

Nice

Love this MACHINE 299D3,=CAT SKID STEER., JOHN BUY❤❤😂😂

pro tip. you need to b able to do light grading with it FIRST. Use the bucket tilt function to shave areas and get it to grade First... Wasting time otherwise skimming a ungraded area. With a Seasoned operator are a Very Efficient finishing tool

Also if you're in a Dusty environment it could get full of dust and you have to do some compressed air to get that dust out on a mulcher head that I would just prefer to leave the front locks on the head unlocked because they get filled full of dirt and then you can't unlock it

I have a 306 and a 317. Just picked up a 310, planning on removing the blade this weekend as it doesn’t real ply add any to the lifting capacity. It is also is in the way to dig over your idlers. Forcing you to dig over you sprockets…and that’s rough on the pins. Has any one done this yet?

That is only oil that I use on 2019 Volvo , usually change oil at 20k , 675 k Miles doesn't burn any oil

Damn , it does take a long time to clean spent 6 hours on mine the other day, i use mask with filters and pool googles. It keeps out of my mouth and eyes.

Oh my EFFING god! The only reason I searched this bumper install is because the damn nuts wouldn’t start on the mounts. This is absolute FUBAR on the part of HERD. I guess I have to grind on mine as well. 😡🤬😡 I’m glad I found your video. I was beginning to lose my mind.

The lock on the window, is to hold the window open at the point you open it.. My 330G John Deere has the same two way windows, and the window lock.. I too can hook up hydraulic lines with the machine running.. The 330G has lots of options like high flow or standard flow, auto bucket leveling, the option of changing the controls from ISO or H pattern auto reversing engine fan, the option to slow down the travel to snail movement if you are doing something touchy.. There are so many more heat/AC vents on the 330G or the 332G, which is a track machine.. The Deere machines are so much easier to service than the Cat.. Changing the oil and fuel filters on the Cat is fairly tight being back in that hole.. The Deere has automatic idle if you stop for like five seconds, then when you touch the control again it comes back up to where the throttle is set on the control.. The 330G and the 332G have ride control that lets the loader arms float a little when going over rough ground.. The Deere machines are equipped with a back up camera and a blue tooth radio.. (not all are so equipped) The Deere machines are also rated to pick up more than the Cat.. Thank you for the great review of your Cat machine.. I hope it gives you many hours of service..

Boil a big pot of water, turn the flame off, drop hose in for 5 minutes, remove and hold straight.

What happened to the next video of your bed build?

I charge $150 to clean every time a customer brings me a dirty SXS, it takes a long time to really clean SXSs, especially a Can-Am. To do good quality work the machine needs to be very clean. I’m sure no customer would appreciate dirt getting into the front differential when the axle is removed for replacement. Also, a deep clean regularly is a part of any good maintenance plan.

Change all to Amsoil...Thank me later. Defenders are very short lived here in New Zealand. We claim around 67% of all world warrantys but sell less than 1% of B.R.P's world production. Gearboxes self destruct, gear shift cable breaks, gear shift lever gating weld failure (just weld or replace), Engine very prone to dusting, steering racks failure, front diffs blowing, Timing chain tensioner failure leading to oil leak (around 300 hrs) All this and more within 2 years. Beyond that chassis crack, Engine dusting. The speedo cluster dies after hrs exceeded. Get rid of that filter and plumb in a Racor Snapp water trap sediment filter... thank me later.

333g try that one let us know.

Man great video!

Thanks for the info. I am currently in the process of closing on 145ac north of Knoxville. Looks like you’re a couple years ahead of me on your project. I would love to pick your brain and on your experience thus far.

That oil filter is why I will never own a can am

Looks good, i need to put something on my hot ass camper truck and regular paint doesn't do shit. This might be the best stuff available.

BRP was definitely not thinking about the customer on this. Oil change one thing, removing the panels behind the seat completely stupid. I just did mine, not knocking your video. Any advice on how to keep dust from coming in the back doors? I know it's not a Ford pickup but there are gaskets around the doors, they just don't do much.

It's a rubber compounding issue at the Camso factory, I'm sure of it. Every single Camso track I've had, has split on the *inside* of the track right around 500hrs. That's across 4 different machines of different brands. I replace them with Bridgestone tracks, and never have a problem again.

Cat excavators are great with plenty of technology and engineering but the skid steers are the opposite stuck in time, bad engineering and no advancement. I recommend John Deere skid steers. 😊😊😊

I hope this thing pulls good because the engineering of the install process is completely thoughtless. Paper instructions are useless past the inventory, and the install video from the manufacturer is completely different. Gotta know now why they have their comments turned off.

Petty things imho….

There is a reason that tank is a shiny silver color, keeps the diesel cooler!

Only can am would make it this difficult to do a basic oil change. I’ve had several Polaris and can am machines and Polaris is by far superior for DIY maintenance.

Here is a document from Prevost which is a Volvo company that provides you all the info on the oil requirements for the 2023 engine. Running 15-40 was not a waste of money since it is an approved oil. Document also explains what Volvo is looking for with VDS-5 oil vs VDS-4.5 oil. static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10183370-0001.pdf

Fantastic video clear and concise I completely agree with keeping the work area and hoses etc as clean as you can . Thank you for the video

Cimaf is far better .Takes less power . The hammers are just power eaters

Currently demoing this unit. Thank you for an excellent video!

what brand and make is that rake?

Buy another set of ramps

Yes I agree this is the correct way to test the lizard skin! Thank you for posting this! Too bad about the blisters… I think when you added the bedliner in your later videos it may have defeated the purpose…

Thats great!

What size deere did you have? I currently am looking at a new ctl, i have case 340b right now, but have purchased a cat d3 dozer and 420xe backhoe for alot of the same reasons you have mentioned. John Deere 331 looks impressive but i have not tested either one yet

Hello. I just retired from heavy equipment where we had a fleet of Cat products. They had endless issues with the DEF systems. Have you had any issues like this? I want to buy a small handy machine but I cannot afford the repairs with faulty DEF. Thankyou in advance.

Good video

I am looking at a Defender but this almost makes me more serious about Polaris which is far easier to change the filter

I had a lot of problems with the 12v disconnect switch. It would automatically shut off if the voltage was a bit low. This would mean We'd wake up with no heat if we were boonedocking. My newer Intech just has a normal battery disconnect that I like much better.

Cat rocks the Skidsteer world

HOW? I run the solid tired version of the 262D(3) on concrete all day in tight spaces, and although I wear out a set of tires every 6-9 months(750-1150hrs), at ~$4k(or more) per set, I can't imagine any situation, other than doing donuts for 400hrs that could wear them out that fast.

Buy cat snow and mud tracks 1700 hrs on mine still look like new

Its not for the outside. You bought the wrong stuff . Black attracts heat ... you would out that on the inside of a van or container

👍🏻💪✌

How many hours are on those tracks. Plus those tracks are designed for loose soil and snow.

Nice video... Machines over 75hp sets it into a different class and far as engine emissions... The cat 313gc also has about the same size engine. The regular 313 has a 90 hp motor..Then you get into the def and all that emissions crap.

Nice video,,very informative. Unfortunately with all mini excavator.. ( Strange how a 22 thousand pound machine is still called a mini excavator..) But all of the hydraulic flow goes towards your tracks. As soon as you start moving all other functions slow down. As far as I know only the cat 309 won't do it as much. Because it has a second hydraulic pump just for the attachment. Like a mulcher or something like that. My mini does the same thing..

Do you have any updates on these pivot pegs? I am considering ordering a set for my 890 as well.
