I run a 160M for up to 12 hours a day. It's a fantastic machine and, coming from a 14H, 12 hours in a 160M feels like 3 hours in an H ( as great as the Hs are they're lumber wagons compared to the 160M. I do miss the power, though...).
I ran a awd drive blade but it's miss leading. It's not a awd? Front tires didn't seem to be under power. I tried to find the button to engage the front wheels no luck. First time on it today it's sweet!
I think the new model is amazing and so user friendly but is it really proven without a mast yet? I currently run uts and have a mastless 150M on order but doubt if the technology is there as of yet too match what UTS can!

I lost a lot of respect for Caterpillar since the last conexpo when they didn't even display one single track loader. I believe they are afraid to market them because they are so versatile and useful, it will impact their other products.
Track loaders are versatile. Backhoe loader are too as well. With track loaders, it's about fuel and undercarriage wear. A jack of all and master of none. Many businesses with employees prefer to focus on an excavator for cutting and dozer for grading. A CTL for the carrying of material in small spots as well as light finishing. A backhoe loader is in the vein of track loaders. If you had only one machine for a farm you "can" get it done. Just not very efficiently. A backhoe would compare to a 60 size mini excavator and for the loader end a large CTL. Two machines or just one. The two machines are better at what they do than the one machine that can "sloppily" do both jobs. A track loader is a beast and "close to grade" in the right hands. Good tractions in and out of soft or steels slots carrying material in or out to load a truck or fill an area. I'm in the mountains and we ended up abandoning track loaders due to steel ground, UC costs and fuel consumption. We can clear with an excavator, stack, burn, load, bench areas, and do dirt cut. A dozer covers the grade part, pushing stumps and brush, raking, sloping, walking slopes, ditchline, etc. a CTL does the little loader work and small job finishing. South of where I am....it's hilly. Not steep. A track loader can dominate in subdivisions where you go from lot to lot digging basements and roughing out. Also loading trucks beside the basement cut. Raise the loader arms to push over trees. Stacking.
too much cutting, no tripod, shakey image, watching this gives me a headache... ...i searched this to show my son a good video for teaching purposes: unfortunately disappointing: (
The graded has been my favorite piece of equipment since I was a kid. They are so versatile. Never been able to operate one though.
I switched from old stick grader to theses joystick few weeks of pain but, now I love it.
I will be driving one of these tomorrow, will be the first time without a steering wheel, looks and sounds sweet, can't wait!

I think it'd be AWESOME to make one of these in 14th scale to have at our RC clubs gatherings!
Cat must have spent a fortune at this show.
"Josh, tell me more about how we're not gunna need you driving this machine anymore, please."
Good job for the new guys.

Hi. For driving with the UTS you must have det mast?
Very fine vid boys! 🤘🤘
Whatever Cat is paying Josh Hayes... IS NOT ENOUGH!! Hope you're doing well brother!
How is the cat in cold weather climate for Canada? I definitely want to try out this machine
I like this job
Good Job. Thank you brother. God bless you 🙏🏽

Any word on how it does?
One thing I've always wanted to know.....why do grader operators lean the front steer tires??
To counter act the force from the blade in the opposite direction
the machine wants to pull you side ways, so you tilt the wheels and they dig in and keep the machine straight
it help in turning in direction you want go and also for stablilize the front end of machine
This is a good machine model
👍 - Natalia
I'm like it
I like your video 😍🤩😻
These new machines scare me! Too many electronics and too much plastic. Nothing like a G or an H.
Yup then when caterpillar stops using the software the consumer is fucked, just like John Deere does.
Good Working
CAT 💪👏👏👏
nice
I love you thu cat grader
Nao existe nada igual a caterpillar
Apoiado
I would love to work with you
