In December 2021 I bought a CTL (Compact Track Loader), a 2019 Volvo MCT110D with 780 hours.
It is similar to other skid steer and CTL from Volvo and JCB. They use the single boom arm design which I find very practical.
Volvo uses "MC" for the wheeled versions and "MCT" for the tracked versions. The older models (2011-17) end with "C", like MCT135C, the newer models (2018-) end with "D", like MCT135D. The numbers are the lifting capacity, like MCT110C or MCT125C. They also represent radial (110) vs vertical lift (all others).
The JCB models are all vertical lift. Track versions end with a "T". The number is the lifting capacity, like JCB 270T, JCB 300T, JCB 320T, JCB 325T.
I want to help prospective buyers understand the machine, its features and options.
I plan to publish more videos to explain the controls and features of the machine, the attachments, maintenance and repairs and usage.
I'm a beginner (both on youtube and operating heavy equipment) so please bear with me. Experienced users might find those videos boring, but I hope newcomers and beginners will find them informative.
