G..G..G..Granville.........!! Fetch your cloth.
The way it appears on the service system isn't the same as how it appears in the sales brochure.

The performance package is H2 - Standard Flow Hydraulics, Dual Direction Electronic Self Level with electronic snubbing
The Comfort package is a C2 with an air suspension seat.

Other features
2-speed machine with standard undercarriage.
Optional RH instrument panel with built-in diagnostics.
Optional roading lights package & a block heater for cold climates.
Hydraulic quick coupler

Thank you for the quick response. The brochure doesn't even list H2 as an option on the 279 I'm glad I found this forum. Sounds like a good middle of the road unit.

You were obviously looking at the wrong brochure. See attached.

Hi, I'm considering this machine: serial SLK02114, and wonder what year it is? Anything about options that can be deciphered from the serial#? Are these Cat 257b's considered a good machine? Thanks
