Very nice to see the comparison. I was definitely not aware of all the combinations available. LUV these visits with Cat that you're giving us. Thanks a bunch, Tom.
Case has the same drive motors, made in Italy. Sprokets are reversible. I'm just not to warm and fuzzy about all those hoses exposed to rocks and any large branches you might snag.
All the mtls are a actually ASV track systems because once upon a time, before terex owned ASV, Cat did so theoretically cats track loaders undercarriages are based off ASV
Hi there. I purchased a CAT 299d2 xhp with the hm418 mulcher head. I have everything hooked up but cant figure out how to open or shut the front door on the mulcher head. the head runs off the electric pig tale and im just not figuring out what controls operate it. I like your videos a lot and figured id see if you know a solution to my problem. thanks
I heard the metal tracks aren't so good , they say they don't clean themselves out well when using in mud or anything that stick s between the track bars
@Dirt Ninja I picked up a 259d really like it but it has the narrow tracks feels like if it sprinkles ill sink! I want to get some wider tracks will they go right on or do i need to get something else also for them to work
Hope this helps: The Triple Flange Idlers and 400 mm (15.7 in) track configuration is best suited for customers that require improved track engagement due to working in challenging terrain that may contain high concentrations of protruding objects (such as boulders, stumps, etc.) and/or due to the use of heavy work tools, working on slopes and/or working near transitions, especially while carrying loads.

Thanks for watching!
Just did the paperwork for a new 259D, cannot wait! Went with the bar style track, fully loaded and CAT 4 in 1 Bucket. Can't wait to use it on jobs!
Nice! Congrats
How are you liking the 259D? I was at the dealer yesterday looking at these.
@@DirtNinja any input on the 259 d3 for landscaping and snow removal?

we have a 299d metal tracks it's an awesome forestry machine.
Dirt ninja why did you stop using bobcat machinery?
Would you please do a walk around or review of the 299 d2 with the metal tracks ?
I didnt get a video specifically of that machine sorry
That is ok and thanks and nice videos.

You didn't say anything about the new metal rear rollers at about 2:20 in video. I recently put them on my 287c and really like them.

What's the best 2010 2012 to buy under 20000 don't know what all the different numbers and letters mean
Man how much work have you guys been getting done if you're always out at the factory
haha. I was there for 2 days. I didnt waste any time making videos! Its just taking me a while to get them all up.
You're in North Carlina at Cats training facility right? I went there last month. It was an awesome place
That is correct. I agree awesome place!

whats the advantage/applications where you would want different flange rollers, single vs double vs triple
Im not sure. I have triple. I recorded getting the triple. Ive never had my tracks come off.
