Anybody know the average weight of a 225? Also, what is the overall impression of Cats 2 series excavators in general? Thanks.
I don't think the 200 series were slower than the new ones. I believe the old ones were more reliable without all of the electronics. I really liked the travel pedals on the 200 series, much easier to track straight than the modern pedals/levers.
Speaking of that, was it 1 pedal forward, and the other reverse? Can they counter rotate?I don't think the 200 series were slower than the new ones.

the older 200 series excavators were anything but slow or unreliable, the controlability was every bit as good if not better than todays rigs being so light in the rear end. The 200 series machines had big counterweights hanging in the rear that really held you down on the ground and when really critically grading. Add to that no USELESS computers and unnecessary electronics . and still to this day I have not been on a hoe as fast as a 215b c or d ( especially the b for some reason) . the proof is in the fact that there is a lot more older 245`s around than 375`s. I can certainly see cat confused motion with progress on these new hoes, if they ever came out with one stripped down version similar to the 200 series hoes they would clean up the market:Banghead
