Compact Track Loader, whos the best?

   / Compact Track Loader, whos the best? #141  
I just pulled the trigger on this Cat 289D3XPS high flow. 2021 with 900 hours on it. I am currently having all of the debris kits put on it at the dealership. $71k out the door. It is worth every penny if you have plenty of work to do with it. I am selling my Deere tractor and implements, as there is only so much work you can do with it that a tractor is designed to do. My tractor has been basically idle for several years, except for bush hogging a couple of times a year on the farm. The CTL will get used every weekend.

Do they have options to protect the hydraulic lines inside of the tracks? This seems like a horrible design for anyone working in the woods.

OK, I can tell you that I bought a new 249D3. The price I paid was 64000. I think I will like it, but I have not had time to figure it out, just to busy and it is still late winter. I will update as time progresses, but I will want to get used to it before I do. I want to thank all of you so much for all the help and interesting stories. I made the move now because I was not sure where the tariffs might lead, even though I like what Trump is doing and it is about time we stop the spending spree we have been on!
