    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    I contacted a cat dealer down there to see if they’d be willing to check it out for a fee of course, the guy I talked to didn’t know if that was something they did or not, so I’m waiting for a call back tomorrow. I figured as long as it isn’t a huge fee it’d be about like spending the 10 hours...

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    I agree with you both I think the 939 just isn’t in the cards, the cab is about the only selling point to me, but the guy has had it a year and doesn’t even know if it HAS A/C and if the heater even works. I finally messaged him, and he seems to not know anything about it. For owning it a year...

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    Does the 10k hours scare you any though? My biggest hang up with it is my trailer isn’t quite adequate for it. So I’d have the added expense of upgrading my trailer. I have plenty of truck to pull it but my trailer only has 20,000 capacity and that machine is going to come in around 22,000 lbs

    They are asking 25k for the 939. And I haven’t contacted them yet but that was going to be my first question for sure. The 939 is hydro, the 933 is not

    He’s asking 27k for it. I guess I never did tell you guys that for some unknown reason! When you think about it as it probably won’t need undercarriage for we’ll say 800 hours that does make it sound a lot better to me, I was thinking when it was said around 20% left on those bushings it would...

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    Well I’m going to be honest, that’s a kick in the teeth, I thought I was really onto something. The more I was driving around the water district the more hours I was seeing and making it pencil out, but adding that extra cost and labor really hurts. The only other machine I have my eye on is a...

    Still waiting on the pictures, but that’s how the guy that has it now talks about the original owner, wasn’t really In a commercial setting, kind of semi-commercial if there is such a thing, which is how I would say I’d be using it as well.

    I agree with you, I’m skeptical about the hours as well. He seems to be a believable guy, but then again you never know.

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    I’ve asked for the picture of under the top track and haven’t received it yet. He says this machine only has 2700 hours on it, says he bought it from the original owner to do a little clearing and build his pad and now he’s done with it. what are your guys opinions on it now that you’ve seen a...

    Hopefully I’ll get something back from this guy soon! I really do appreciate all the advice, as I said originally I’ve never ran one so I’m green as they come on these track loaders!

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    I asked for some close ups, we’ll see how that goes, talking with people over something for sale…well we all know how that goes sometimes. I don’t imagine I’ll be putting over 200-250 hours a year on this thing to be honest, I have plenty of work for it, but it’ll be fit in here and there...

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    Wow that was some good information, stuff I never would have even thought about. I haven’t even contacted the guy yet as I’m still trying to decide if it’s what I want, and if it pencils out. This seems to be the best picture of the undercarriage he has posted. The ad says it has a good...

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    yeah I’m not going to be in a hurry when I’m clearing or anything like that, I am just worried that I’d be severely disappointed, but on the other hand they look to be capable of what I’m asking it to do, just haven’t been around it much to have any real life experience with it. It’s just a...
