They have made a few changes on the new ones compared to my 2020 version. I have loved mine, and it pushes like a tank. Im sure the tl12 pushes even better than the tl8 that I have. I agree with your assessment about the suspension system on the other brands. It is so much easier to grade without the suspension system. The Cat rides great, but I didn't like the way it graded. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the new machine once you've used it a little bit. Congrats again buddy.

They just seem to be a smooth more balanced machine plus they are the trendsetters of the ctl’s they came out with the first in 1986 and all the others followed.
