Got to run my buddies Cat 248 on the weekend leveling some clay for him.
Is it just me or is running these things harder than it looks. First off you cant see the edge of the bucket from the seat so you dont know if you gouging or tilted too high. The visibility from the cab on these things is terrible as well. I'm thinking a front wheel assist tractor with hydro and a blade would be much easier to operate.
You guys who run these things daily...what is the trick. Or is the Cat just hard to see from? The pilot controls are great but thats it.
