I have a soft spot in my heart for Cat products but I see a major benefit to retaining the steering wheel like Deere has. I lost a great operator this season to a job with an M series. I have one of my best operators that has essential tremors which affects his ability to accurately control fine motor function. He does fine with a rack, and can run a Hoe like mad, but all the micro switches and joystick/switch only steering could be an issue. Likewise what’s a guy supposed to do in a Cat M with arthritis? Some of us have old people problems at younger ages than the rest. I’m leaning away from the M series as much as I’d like to have one. They really are high tech gamers paradise.
The H series are bringing more money with high time on the clock than some M’s are ! And Deeres GP are competitive. I see a big jump in tech. Dollar for dollar though, Cat H vs Deere D/G/ GP I think the Deere has more power, more function and more comfort. But I’ve personally never run anything newer than the 90’s Champion. Tough decision.
