King of the Quarry

[@yepitsme2536]

We have a john deere 544b on our ranch and it still gets the job done 👍

[@HD2512DK]

What a great testimonial add.. the machine looks great

[@brandonjohnson9098]

Been in one since APAC Kansas bought them in 2017-2018 and can testify that these are still reliable and powerful. Wouldn’t trade this machine

I've run wheel loaders for 40 years and ran Cat 988G last 5 years and thought it couldn't be beat till I received new 944k. It's smother and faster and more comfortable. Love it. Now to see if the reliability will be there. If so Cat has some competition.

[@boobooboogoo]

Marc Kirby how much does something like this cost?

[@generationll]

Have you tried a Cat 988K?

[@derekstaub]

Most definitely not reliable as cats but I also love the 944k

[@Genetics1]

any update on reliability

[@rvmadnessrvmadness9406]

The cost is around $250k The hybrid gives you more power than you need. They are a joy to run. The only problem is about 2yrs in the start having problems you won't have on a Cat. Hydraulic controls start sticking, and the hybrid is so complicated that even their mechanics scratch their heads. Plus, Cat mechanics are better trained.

In this class the Caterpillar 988 & Komatsu WA600 have been established for over 30 years now

I've drove everything from a 444b to a 544e forklift at sawmills that bad boy looks like it should move. A load nothing runs like a deere

[@Puce.C]

John Deere finally made a loader that no tire can keep up with.

[@wyatt2920]

Cody Lapierre the cat 998k can

[@projectnogocomplyordie4177]

That's an awesome wheel loader

[@jameslindley8318]

Great Review !! Says all you need to know !! Watch out CAT

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

Can't imagine a quarry without a haul truck, but it works for them.

[@lilspicytuna]

If they made one that was the size of a 992 I’d love it for my job

[@JasonShipley1979]

That bad boy's massive!!!

[@JR18250]

A good operator won’t slip tires anyway

[@rickiemckillip8124]

Keep the Foreign companies from Competing with you

[@mackowen9337]

Wonder when case will copy this? Cases are just junk from the scrapyard.

[@wyatt2920]

Mack Owen yes they are! Cat and Deere for the win

[@rvmadnessrvmadness9406]

Forget the reliability. Buy a Cat
