Cat doesn't make them. They buy them from ASV. The MTL line was still available about a year ago but the local dealer will not carry them. If you want one, get on the list and wait till it is built.

All the armor and weapons and the tracks are the most vulnerable just like a tank. That and the electronic engine. What happens when it craps out when you're under attack?

Your own, less effective, mini tank for the low, low price of what $160k? Looks like it'd be fun.

Usta be a feller had to build his own killdozer if he wanted to go on a rampage. Now you just plop down the cash.

It’s a CAT so it’s only good for a few hours without repair LOL

Tell them to hold fire until we fix it, it’s only fair lm@o


Or better yet, tell them to hold fire until we get out and install the high flow plug so we can activate to go go gadget door breacher and kill the bad guys ;)

That bloke had the good sense to a Komatsu, he did kill anyone but did an awful lot of damage. This Cat would be lucky to leave the compound

I think it more akin to a turtle. Armored but, without a cannon, all defense. Good for dirt moving, while under threat of small arms. Beat feet at the first ping off the armor. Wait for big brother, the M1A2 to take out the sniper.
