CAT vs Bobcat rubber track loader

[Tigerotor77W]

Does Equipment Today run them head-to-head? Or is it also like how other mags do it by looking at the CTL market and mentioning each manufacturer and its products?

Xingyuan,
have you seen much of the Deere CTL yet?
do you have any opinions of them yet?
All I have seen is intro type stuff, comparative
info etc...

It just lists specs.Like most magazines it's an add more than anything.Dutch I've used a JD in the past and didn't care for the hydraulics.They are like cat in thier big CTL's weigh over 10k and only run a 76hp engine.Takeuchi/Mustang/JCB/Gehl all have over a 92hp engine.I would want the extra hp

Haven't seen much of them, but I don't think you'll have a problem with power... while their engine horsepower is not necessary the highest in the upper ROC categories, they have a TON of axle torque. It appears that Deere has done a fine enough job with the 300-series to make most people forget about the failures on the 200s; the Deere machines won't be selling like hotcakes immediately, but you can bet that they'll be turning heads again.

Again, to be honest, I haven't seen or heard much of them at all.
