Way more cons than pros. Plus, all of the cons seem to be just dumb and stupid things. So paying extra for a better- engineered machine is worth it. One huge con not mentioned here is the Fiat engine. Cat, Deere, and Komatsu engines are built specifically for their machines. Fiat has a long history of building everything they make as if it were made in....Italy. Beautiful country, crappy machine build quality except I guess for Ferrari race cars. Can't push much dirt with one of them though.

Haven’t sat in one yet, but I see they still use that crappy door design. I haven’t sat in the seat yet, but the 299’s felt like I was operating a coffin. No room between the pods. You didn’t mention if they still use that bastard floating front axle, unless I missed it. I do hope they’ve addressed the amount of pressure each joystick has. The old ones were stiff as hell. And I couldn’t see as you looked down while seated if you can see the heel of the bucket or not, that was another complaint I got on Cat/Bobcat. You can’t see the amount of material you got when backdragging. Maybe Fabick will get some in one day, I’d like to see it in person.
@digginandbuildinwv70125 ай бұрын
So yes there is no more floating front idler, it's a solid frame, still has torsion suspension but shouldn't do the rocking when grading ect.., I could see most the bucket don't remember about the heel of it. Cab is wider
@adambell20685 ай бұрын
These cabs are much roomier than the previous models. What's wrong with this door design? The door on these new machines can be just lifted right off the hinges for easy removal, similar to a Jeep door which is awesome. Not sure what you're talking about when you say floating front axle, do you mean the front idler? If so, it is a solid frame front idler design now. These also have a stiffened torsion axle design front and back.
@operatingengineer5205 ай бұрын
@@adambell2068 was hoping for a door like Tak or Kubota. No need to have to remove the door. If the sun is in your eyes, or water on the window, in a Tak/Kubota, you slide the door open, get your task done, and close it. Also, if that boom is barely up on a Cat, you’re stuck. Can’t open that door. Now if you remove it, and it starts raining in on ya, “oh wait, gotta go install the door”. I was hoping for a better design, that’s all. I’m a door closed operator. I don’t like all that noise, dust. And If they’ve improved the front idlers by making them solid, then grading, unloading pallets should be better. I disliked how the old front idlers were designed. Everytime you got a bucket of material, curled up or lifted, the machine would nose plant. So I’m interested in running one, some day. Hope that clears my questions up.

Also the door just picks up off the hinges easily if you want to take the front door completely off which is awesome. Also, all of the side sliding windows inside the cab can also be easily removed for cleaning.
