After running a case 340b and watching the smaller loader arms flex and twist I'd appreciate the heavy arms, like the kubota 97. Heavy duty always the wat to go, i demoed one, comparing to others it seems pretty good.

I have the same machine just got the high level guard package. Great video. I had no clue about the holes for future toolbox that was a big mystery. My window latches aren’t tight enough they rattle all the dang time. Does your machine give you the option for security lockout like the D3 did? The kind of work I do I have to start and stop often and I have to do the code every time. My salesman isnt the best on the smaller stuff I’m wondering if the Bluetooth fob would let it start faster.
@jacobo565 20 күн бұрын
@@timblack33 I didn’t mess with the lockout on the D3 at all. I had the 265 set up so it required a security code on startup. I had the dealer remove it as i just hated how long it would take for the user interface to load just to input the code. It’s not too bad if a guy is in it all day long but if you do some in and out it’s a pain to enter the code every time. Especially when it’s 100 degrees in the cab….

My 259d3 does the same thing. I was told that’s normal when the system activates at a certain speed it’ll drop the arms a bit to charge the accumulator. Once you get used to it it’s not a big deal. Just raise the arms about 12” before you take off.

Dealer support is big. We’ve been working with our dealer for 50 years. We’ve dabbled in some of the other mfgs and even on the worst days for cat, they’re still way better than all of our other options. I’m just speaking for my particular area, I’m sure there are some great dealers out there for the other mfgs. I don’t see a lot of brush shredder guys roll with Cat. Seems like Takeuchi or ASV have been pretty popular. I think they’re a little more function over fashion but I think they excel in their hydraulic cooling system. I don’t have a lot of tree shredding experience, we mainly stay in the dirt.
