    Cat 299D3 vs Deere 333G

    Like the title says. Looking to get a new machine. Had lots of issues with my T770 and am wanting to switch brands. Both brands have great dealer support here locally. I use the machine mostly for dirt work, soil conditioner, brush cutter and snow removal in the winter. One thing I liked about...

    Bobcat T770 or Cat 297D

    Bobcat T770 or Cat 297D

    Looking to purchase either one of these two machines. I will use the machine for mainly dirt work in the summer and snow removal in the winter. I know the MTL will have a bit better traction in the snow than the CTL (Will have winter tracks for CTL) but not sure if the added traction of the MTL...
