I am looking to purchase a CTL for our 2025 season and I have ran a 333G multiple times on demo. I like the update with the P series Deere has made to large frame CTLs but I am concerned about maintenance. The 325G is really a better size machine for our company because I can use it on almost 100% of jobs. But the larger frame 333 is great when we are moving dirt or loading trucks and is very productive. I can use it on about 80% of our jobs. The 333 P looks definitely better than the 333g in terms of updates and maintenance but I am little nervous about maintaining that large of a machine. If the 325 P existed I would most likely buy that because of the price range and maintenance but there is no update insight for the 325 G. I have already spent 9k in CTL rentals for the last quarter of 2024 and I have another project coming up in a month where ill need a CTL.
I am beginning to think about other brands but I really like Deere. I operated a CAT a couple weeks ago and it was comfortable but I did not like the visibility out the back and the power was the not the same.
Overall I would feel confident in the large frame CTL if maintenance and longevity is reasonable. But the mid frame 74 Hp is defiantly appealing. I am just looking for opinions from anyone regarding this issue I am in. I need a machine and I will most likely spend a lot on rentals this season if I don’t find one I like.
