I think it’s around $5k with install. That’s the bumper and the brush guard. The bumper is welded on and the entire package balances the machine a lot better than a counterweight setup.
Tailgate Talks- been falling behind on the every Tuesday commitment but will be much more consistent when we move to our new house next month. Once we are fully setup it will be on Spotify as well as the video will be on RUclips
Why'd you go with the smaller machine? Is it preferance? I think in my opion i wouldve gone with the 299d or something a bit bigger as the 259d only has around 70 hp. and weighs 8800 lbs
259D3 is 74hp with no def 299D3LM is 110hp with def The increase in production from 259 to 299 is not enough to warrant the $140k the 299 cost as well as the increase in operating expense. Just spend an extra hour on site and bust it out with the 259. I will get a larger machine but the 299 is not purpose built enough for me. Tonight’s video that drops at 6 addresses some of those issues with the machines we look at.
@@TheTreeShop Yes that is a fair point you have to take in, but 140k? didnt relise it got up to that much, That makes alot more sense. Maybe its just me but compared to other loaders with its horsepower the 259d looks alot smaller espically in person.
We run 259s only!!! its just our preferance easy to pull with a 550 superduty utility body bumper pull. We ain't fancy like the J man we are old school 7.3 powerstroke.
@@jimemmons5529 yea, can totally see why now everyone likes them as they are quite compact, haven’t put more then around 25 hours in a 259d so can’t really say much about them. I prefer bobcats t66 for regular jobs or my t770 for the mulching ones as it goes by pretty quick, also I pull with a F350 with a 6.7 and works amazing
@@TheTreeShop I'm just saying I wish cat would put xps in these ones. I have a 299d3xe a 289d3 and three 257d but the machine I want is a 257 or 259 with xps. It would be the best ever machine
I agree. Once I delete this one I will be jumping into the hydraulic side and learning how to make it more productive. Thankfully mulching heads have come a long way in the last few years but more power is always a good thing
I honestly think the difference in price between the 289 and the 299 doesn't add up to the performance between them but the 299 is nicer to operate. I've no idea why really but it just is. But prefer the 257 as they much more nippy and smooth to operate
Good work Lacy 👍
"She's a pointer" 😂 I have two numb skull pointers, so that's the highlight for me 😂
Keep up the good work do you do any work in the Saint Cloud area
Yes sometimes. I used to do a lot of residential tree work out there.
Is the rear door bumper setup made by CAT? Don't happen to have a part number?
I run one of these for mulching out here in Aus. Good machines
Yes it is a cat part. I will find the part number and then get it to you
What do think about getting 299D3 XE Land Management ?
Overpriced for the performance it offers. ~$50k more than the 259 and the 259 can do everything the 299 can do just does it a little bit slower.
We have the same trailer but it’s labeled B&B
Can you get that part number for the brush guard and bumper please? I have that setup and am digging the guards on the back. Much appreciated.
Bumper- 603-4426
Guard -603-9096
Any idea of a part number for the covers that seal up behind the tracks? Thanks
Debris Management Kit 1 is what’s it’s called. But it’s more than just that guard. The kit comes with stuff for all over the machine.
How much that brush guard cost on the rear of your machine?
I think it’s around $5k with install. That’s the bumper and the brush guard. The bumper is welded on and the entire package balances the machine a lot better than a counterweight setup.
What’s the name of your podcast? And where do you find it?

Hey man get a foam cannon for your pressure washer 👍🏼👍🏼
I need a new pressure washer 😂 I have foam cannons in a box on the shelf but the pressure washer died before I could use it

Yes it is the largest engine in the small frame tracked skid steers.

259 needs xps !
Oh don’t worry. This 259 will be pumping some hydro fluid once our second big purchase gets here 🤫🤫🤫😬

What’s a 259 go for?
In Florida $95k
Everywhere else ~$75k
