Has anyone had the chance to do some side-by-side comparisons between the RII's and the new T series CAT dozers?
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on the new T series machines, and most of what I've heard contradicts each other.
Some operators say that the new T's have more power, while others say a lot less due to the ACERT/Tier III technology.
I've spent a few thousand hours in various sized RII's and RIII's, but the only T's that I've been in are two D10T's, and I was quite impressed with them.
They didn't seem to lack any power over the D10R's that I've run. The company with the two D10T's has done some after-market work to them (I want to say they're chipped?), so it may not be a fair comparison.
Anyone who's got to run same sized R's and T's care to share their thoughts on the differences/preferences between the series'?
