- Here is a first look at Cat's brand new 918M wheel loader. This machine will be coming out around September of 2016. I was given the machine for a week to use and provide feedback on it. It is supposed to compete with the wheel loaders I operate in the winter. It gets 2 thumbs up from me. I liked it. Like what you see?

Nice vid.
FYI: A new feature they added for the battery disconnect switch @ 6:19 is that the key can now be removed before the machine finishes the fluid cycle (for those in a hurry) and the light is still on. At that point, the machine will automagically finish the cycle for you and then disconnect the power. Cool(ing down) beans! HA (I believe this carries across on the whole line of loaders, but u would need to verify with Cat/dealer to be certain.)
Very Nice, Tom. We had a Cat 918F at our concrete plant as a backup to our 936E. It was a very good machine and I don't recall any major problem with it, we even had it out on a couple of the MDOT jobs we had mostly for cleanup and light work.
+diggerdave51 Nice. Thanks for watching!
great video!!
Thanks a lot .vedio wonderful
It's nice tom I like it
nice tie down points.. Pretty nice machine overall
+MrGiovannix12 Agreed!
Very very nice information 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think you missed that one on the master disconnect and the DEf purge system.. It has a 80 second delay to purge the fluid I think..
Old as gold
Lovly video sir
Great video ! i really like that new Cat loader its very nice machine and nice size too i think its time to trade in my old 966 for one of these !
+Steven Noel Thanks for watching!
what surprises me is how quiet they are
hey Tom have Bill show up in one of your videos he's a pretty cool guy.
Cat loder no.1
How can you become a heavy equipment operator? What are the requirements to be able to run all the machines?
How to apply loader opretor job. Kindly inform
Just for info...@ 13:44, that is actually the creeper control. Once it's switched on it control the speed of the machine. The creeper control lets you run the engine at high revs to run the implements and work tools, but limits the ground speed.
+Adrian Wright Thanks for the correction!
+Dirt Ninja No problem, but not correcting you, just helping.
How much did it cost
Did they tell you the MSRP? And then as equipped price?
Pretty slick looking machine. They make them much more friendlier to operate now.
+Mike Buffing No I didnt get any pricing. Its still a ways away from being available to purchase.
+Mike Buffing see answer below.. but you can now get pricing From your local CAT dealer
Do you think before you get rid of it you could make a video of it digging on a test site? I want to know what the thing sounds like when it's moving. The 1/16 scale model of the cat vibratory soil compactor I have has the same engine. And I haven't actually heard one in action before.
+Alex Williamson'sadventures I will have more videos of this machine in action up soon!
Sweet!
Do you know if the will be coming out with a 910 and 914 in the m series rather than k?
+Nursery Life I do not know, but I would think they will.
Hello...
Yes, the 918 M will launch with the 914 M and the 910 M
I want to buy one like this. Can you help me?
Whats price of this
It seems the like the bucket is rather small, it looks like its smaller then the bucket we got on a 908M we just recived lately, or is that just me? :)
+Nikolai 98 I agree the bucket looks small but it is not. I think its just the shape. Its 2.5 yards. It fills my tri-axle very quick.
I see :)
What do you use to record? GoPro?
+JD Gator For this video it was a Panasonic Lumix. But most of my videos are with a GoPro
A quick Google search revealed no answer.. How much does one of these cost? Just curious... Great video, as always!
+B. Lemire haha, thats because they dont exist yet. This is 1 of 2 in the entire US currently. They dont come out until September. I had it for a week to give feedback on it. I was not told any pricing info sorry.
+B. Lemire Hello, I am a salesman for CAT dealer in Canada, your local dealer can now get you a price as the "pricing pages" were just released. We here are very excited about the launch of this Machine as it fits nicely between the 908M and the 926M. Initially there will be only the standard lift, however the high lift version will come out soon after in 2017, a date has not yet been set for that.
It literally has the same cab as the 908m
Have to change your name to CAT NINJA pretty soon!
+Schneiderexc haha. We still own a Bobcat A300 and the only machine I own is a Deere! Maybe someday we will have all cats.
Is the self leveling bucket system a option or is it standard because for some reason it's not working on my 918m? Thanks
what are the disc and the caliper of 3:45? handbrake?
+xabibilboful Yes
Dirt Ninja ok, thanks. Great and complete review!
Yes, it's the park break
Do you see yourself buying one
+patrick bardsley Possibly. I did like the machine. It would be a good size for my excavation business.
I'm Loader operator
Baby machine for girls
To anyone who would want to buy one don’t, they are total junk the wiring harnesses give tons of issues. We have 2 and all they are is problems. Maybe new ones are better but the k series isn’t
what year machines does the company you work for have?
Ambient 2016 914K series but in the many times Cat mechanics came out they said the 910,914, and 918 are all the same
@@trevorsouthard7784 hmm well hopefully mine isnt junk. just bought a 2019 918m so hopefully those issues are updated by now. thanks for the heads up tho
