Just looking at a 2021 cat 420 today. Test drove it. Haven’t bought a backhoe since 2001 430d I bought used 10 yrs ago. This one’s new. Great video bud. Really nose light. Still on fence
You can grease the extendaboom by extending it fully and spreading the grease by hand on the inner stick that’s how you I grease mine on my new holland it has a different style of extendable stick but I’ve run both styles of extendable sticks and it works on both
Greetings friends, I have a question about how to operate the front tool with the same joystick as the rear tool or cancel one of the two joysticks when working with the front part.
You flip the dual mode switch on , on the armrest, then you pull the trigger on joystick and it will move front bucket. Let off and back to backhoe. Same thing when facing forward
I'm not sure, there are alot of safety switches, I'll have to try, I know if the seat is not clicked right in the forward position it beeps and won't go
I'm impressed by its speed, power and smoothness most. But it also comes down to the people you are dealing with, and in this case the personality and overall assistance of the cat salesman won hands down. I guess I like to be treated the way I treat my customers, so I knew what I was buying onto as well. But it's ok to have different opinions 😊

It's a tough pill to swallow with the cost of these things nowadays. I still got no complaints on it though.
@@digginandbuildinwv7012 thanks for the feedback.

@loganvaillancourt4453 according to cat they don't want you to put regular grease on it as it collects dirt and will wear out the wear blocks quickly

good review
Can you engage the transmission when your in the backhoe position?

Yes you can, I forgot to let you know

Awesome thanks for the reply
what are your thoughts on the jcb backhoes?
I've had very little experience with them, looked at trading for one a few years ago. They look like a pretty good machine
@@digginandbuildinwv7012 i test operated a 3cx which was nice and a used 214d which wasnt too bad
How much $$$ for it
$142k
A backhoe cost $142K???!!!!
Demo'd one underpowered and clumbsy, your impressed by minor
