Great purchase!!!

I actually work at the factory in NC where these are made. We make about 200 machines a day. But we haven’t made any Land Management models for the past 3 or 4 months. I’m not sure why but I guess that would explain the shortage. P.s the land management models are a pain the arse to assemble 😂

Add the rear counterweights, it'll help with that 3500lb. Cimaf mulcher head. The saddle tanks on the land management hold enough fuel to mulch 12 hours without refueling. They really aren't that bad in the woods. Thought I would hate them, but after the first week you don't realize they're on it anymore, and no they aren't beat up, I don't even have any scrapes or marks on them. The LM also uses the Stucci screw type hydraulic quick connectors, they are really good for reducing restriction and in turn heat build up.

Well, the first thing I would do a fart noise 😂 love the channel the great work

Nice machine you need a 522 feller buncher with a 24 inch quadco 360 hot saw

Nice machine...you need to chock the trailer wheels when driving a load up on it...that lurching (forward and backward) could possibly damage the truck's transmission (park gear) if enough force is leveled...

My company at one time had 66 Caterpillar 299 CTL's ranging from 2010 to 2015 model years.. I always liked them better than the New Hollands

Very nice machine.. I just bought a new 279d3 (not for mulching) about a month ago. It was on order for 2 months. I have been kinda nervous about my machine since I got it. It came with a cut track, but the dealer made it right. I noticed it squeaking right away. It took 25 pumps of grease before I saw the first drop come out of the upper pins. Coolant was low. Then I happened to stand directly behind it and site down the side and noticed the track lean outward. I have the block style tracks. I only have 22 hours on it now, but the tracks are wearing way more on the outside than the inside. A rep from the company came out and looked at it and said he had never seen anything like it. They were about to start shimming the undercarriage to level it, but I said "hold on" , let's see what CAT engineering has to say. So I got a call last week and they tell me the tracks are supposed to be leaning 1.5 degrees with a tolerance of plus or minus 1 degree. Mine are a little over 2 degrees sitting on the floor and over 3 degrees when machine is jacked up and undercarriage is suspended. I sure think this is a design flaw.. Hard for me to believe they built this machine to wear the tracks uneven. I looked at a few more on a lot Saturday and they seem to lean also, but not as much as mine. Yall please take a look at yours and see what you think..Thanks. Scott Hanners

299 looks nice

The placement of those final drive hoses kill me...hope you enjoy machine.

I’m sure your Blanchard rep will have some questions for you...

Awesome machine. We have one with a Fecon Blackhawk. Bad ass unit. After a few months you still liking it?

Waiting for my new 299d3xe and 289d3 been about 10 months !! Have a landing date of 3rd November landing in the uk

Just bought one a week ago, running a fecon 74 😎

You didn’t happen to be at the Ocala ring power were you?

Beautiful Truck. Cant go wrong with Ford.

If you already have a cat piece of equipment you can just use the key from it for another

What’s that set up run with forks and bucket and snow blower

What's the lenth of that trailer

Just subbed

Alan here with A&M Grading I have a caterpillar 259d and a 279c and I love them that's all I have in my fleet is cat.

Ok I want a new cat skid preferably a 289 or bigger is ok but I can’t find any do they still have them ?

So are they worth the 180k plus tax new? That is like a 230k machine. I don’t think I could justify that even when business is at its peak season

I just bought one!

They didn’t care that you were out of their “district?”

Did you get ride of the the ASV and other cat

Love Ringpower

What does a new 299 cost ?

There junk come on cat the 299c were bullet proof other than rubbing hoses through the frame caught that first beer inspection

how much they cost brand new

Lucky you bought two years ago cause the prices have really gone up.

What's the price range for this cat 299D3?

How do you like a year almost a year later?
