@@BrettsBuilds 1. fried ECu . I am an electronics guy myself and was shocked to discover that Ecu can be build this badly with pcb-board assembly not protected even with simple silicon and so on… 2. Broken down hydraulic hoses that traced through machine in the way to be broken 100% and almost impossible to change without disassembling the equipment around…. 3 . Torsion suspension hard to clean and to lubricate . 4.Actually the worst one is its the machine’s internals aren’t protected from dirt and its vey hard to clean ….
The biggest issue is not it's ability to lift it's tipping over. The machine is lightweight for a skid steer and tips easily, especially if the ground is uneven. At 2500# it would need to be flat ground and situated right up against the arms.
I think It was yanmar that bought ASV specifically for their undercarriage. Most people find ASV undercarriage to be best in business. ASV offers a full warranty on track where as well as trak derailment for 2 years 2000 hours.
@@BrettsBuilds I contacted CAT’s CEO asking for special pricing on a high flow skid steer. I provided proof of disability rating and I never received any response.
Thx for video and I wish you do not have any problems with 287 as I have and its very hard to service by yourself
You and me both! What issues did you have with yours?

Hello I’m looking at getting a 247b. Would u say it will at least unload 2500 to 3000?

Cat no longer uses this undercarriage . C series cats had a lot of issues. Especially engines
I believe cat bought asv for this undercarriage? They’re skid steer snow still use the torsion bar track suspension for a better ride

The answer is neither. They are too expensive and CAT is not a company that works with service disabled combat veterans.
What do you mean by CAT not working with disabled veterans?
I appreciate you watching either way.
