    It could be the seat safety sensor going out, parking brake switch or the electrical board gets a burned out connection. I’ve had all these problems on my 277B

    Case CX55B

    Excavator is not wanting to start. I’ve changed fuel filters and pump. It turns over a very long time and will finally start. Runs rough then dies as soon as you want to start using it.

    299 D2 loader arms flexing

    My 289D arms twist way more than my 277B ever did. Hopefully Cat has figured the flex into the engineering on them, since they're obviously trying to save money on manufacturing by looking at the design.

    Level Best Para Level

    Not sure if the investment would pay for itself in the one project, but depending on how you would normally grade the site, it should almost double your daily production. Definitely go with the dual grade though.
