Hey I have alot of experience with the ctl's on the market and finaly got enough hrs on the Gehl ctl 80 to buy a new 289c.
I loved the 257b the 262B the 287B, so how could Cat screw up their new machines?
Electric over hydraulic controlls. Why would they change them on a skidsteer instead of using such a simple design? is it to get away from the oil leaking out of the piolet controlls?
I love the machine all around from the suspended u/c to the quiet cab to the pushing power, But i will be hard pressed to be as precise or as acurate with that machine as i would be with the B's or the Gehl.
It pushes fine but has a huge lul when it realy gets bogged down then it starts to pick back up slowly, and its not that the engine is working hard it feels like a delay in a selonoid.
Are the c series destend to be bad apples or is there some tuneing that i can get finning to do that will improve this toiolet!
