    New Caterpillar 265 Skids

    Your probably referring to the back idler, my case had singles front and back but didn't give me any issues. Must be a base package or a 255 thing. My 265 is not the fully decked version but has triple front and back. I do have the screen and joystick with all the controls. I'd question the...

    New Caterpillar 265 Skids

    The top does slide out and lift off, i agrre woukd be nice to be hinged with a jack. However when compared to most other ctls that is one of the cleanest and easiest engine bays to work on and service. I absolutely love my 265. You can always find something you don't like about any machine...

    JM Attachments

    I just bought a 42" claw bucket for my excavator, it is very impressive, it is much heavier than the standard bucket on my machine. Extremely well made. I wouldn't think twice for other attachments as well. Very good to deal with.

    Case TR310, TR340...good/bad?

    I have a 340b, so far so good. Alot the same as mentioned above, what i dislike is the front door design with that stupid bump out for wiper motor blocks view of the right side of bucket. The cab is very small with no where to put a lunch bag or anything. It is extremely hard to access the...
