Hello All,
I have several questions on a trackhoe that I'm operating on.
(1) First, what is the difference between a CAT 345B, BL or L if anything?
(2) The unit is a 2001 and in good physical condition with 7200 hours (+ or - a few hours). What is considered a lot of hours on a trackhoe of this size and year?
(3) We are using the expensive CAT Desert Gold grease, but some say it's not worth spending the extra on good grease. Would you recommend using the high end grease, or can you get away using the cheaper grade and greasing more often?
Even though we are using the Desert Gold, I'm still greasing all the zirts after about 10 hours of use per the manufacture.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
