hello, i just purchased 24 cat 265 , arms are hitting to body, are u having same issue?

Have you done much dirt work with it? Heavy digging etc.. just curious if it feels underpowered at all. This is the only 74hp machine I’m looking at because it looks great as far as lift height-weight-torque at that mid rpm range. Great review.

I am running a toothed bucket and it's impressive! I have been digging a bit and it definitely has a good ground traction and they definitely have it so you aren't breaking the machine with limiters. Overall it's good. I will say it's not a full size machine like a 299 but I'm not expecting that out of it. It definitely keeps up with my old deleted svl90-2 with 109hp

@@thethoughtfulcarpenter Thanks for the reply, one other machine I was considering was a Kubota 97-2. Just thinking I could get along with a machine that doesn’t require def.

@@thethoughtfulcarpenter I understand, dealer support make all the difference.

How dose it do on temperatures running a forestry mulcher? Engine and hydraulic temps? Temp out side?

I have run it 10 hours on a 90 degree day and not even close to overheating. It's been great. Massive hydraulic driven fan and monster radiator

Does it have a kubota motor? What’s the difference in price compared to other brands?

Cat motor. Basically perkins cat bought them They are more expensive and have way more features and comfort. Kubota is like the kia with cloth seats takeuchi is like a Toyota and cat is Cadillac. This is similar power to a svl 97 with less weight and costs 15-20k more. I sold my Kubota for a cat because of my local service. Admar was a waste of time and Kubota takes a week to overnight parts. Cat will have it tomorrow

With no def and 74 HP it easily out works my 109hp deleted Kubota svl-90 Way more comfortable as well. Could use a bit more ground clearance

I am sure. But that's with almost anything. The rattling windows is enough!

Parts are way overpriced, track system not that great, better off with Kubota, or bobcat,

You can buy my svl-90 Parts are cheaper than Kubota and bobcat is awful with getting those cheap parts. Milton cat has always had what I needed in stock or will overnight it. Admar my Kubota dealer is a joke
