    How do I turn on continuous flow Cat 279C???

    Machine is a 2010 Caterpillar 279C with hi-flow. I rented a 72" low-flow brush cutter that I need to return July 5th in the morning. Works great when I keep my thumb on the right joy stick wheel, but that gets very tiresome because I can't figure out how to get continuous flow to...

    Any good ideas on installing tracks on Cat 279c??

    I'm trying to install the new tracks on my 279c without any luck. To the ones that have done this before, where do you start first? Do you try to get it on the sprocket, rear idler, or front idler first??? I did not take the track off. My brother brought my machine back with a broken track...

    Which new tracks to purchase?

    I'm about to purchase new tracks for my caterpillar 279c and have it narrowed down to these 2. About $80 difference between the two, with the block pattern being more. I'm really thinking about getting the all-terrain one because it is almost the same as what was on my 277 and I liked them...

    Financing options for used track skid steer???

    I recently sold my caterpillar 277 and now am looking for a used caterpillar machine. I plan on putting 1/3 down and financing the rest. The problem I'm running into is that it seems nobody wants to loan for a used skid steer unless you're a business. I'm just a private individual with...

    Any Cat 277 guru's? Quit running

    While using the machine Sunday moving snow, it quit running. When I go to start it, it'll run for like 1/2 a second then die. Every time that is what it does. It has fuel and I changed both fuel filters after it died. I do not have any manuals, so I checked every fuse and they are all good...
