With the hyd fill door. Do it with the arms up. Cab up too if you can so you dont have to deal with the spring door
How dose it do on temperatures running a forestry mulcher? Engine and hydraulic temps? Temp out side?
I have run it 10 hours on a 90 degree day and not even close to overheating. It's been great. Massive hydraulic driven fan and monster radiator
Have you done much dirt work with it? Heavy digging etc.. just curious if it feels underpowered at all. This is the only 74hp machine I’m looking at because it looks great as far as lift height-weight-torque at that mid rpm range. Great review.
I am running a toothed bucket and it's impressive! I have been digging a bit and it definitely has a good ground traction and they definitely have it so you aren't breaking the machine with limiters.
Overall it's good. I will say it's not a full size machine like a 299 but I'm not expecting that out of it. It definitely keeps up with my old deleted svl90-2 with 109hp
@@thethoughtfulcarpenter Thanks for the reply, one other machine I was considering was a Kubota 97-2. Just thinking I could get along with a machine that doesn’t require def.
@@twoguncorcoran4733 cat is more expensive but the dealer support from Milton my local dealer is amazing! Also no def is impressive
@@thethoughtfulcarpenter I understand, dealer support make all the difference.
Nice machine, what mulching head are you turning
A diamond mowers drum. I would like to get an fae as an upgrade

hello, i just purchased 24 cat 265 , arms are hitting to body, are u having same issue?
where are they hitting?
@@thethoughtfulcarpenter Metal to Metal grinding from inside arms and the step attached to the cab in the center. The arm is off center from the machine so it grinds the step and the bottom of the arm. So far HOLT and CAT are saying this is "normal". Just curious if yours is the same they said all of these new machines are like this.
@@ShieldTech-73 what did the dealer say? Maybe it's a build quality issue
@@ShieldTech-73absolutely not normal. Love our 265 no issues.
Give it time you will have things to complain about, over engineeringed electric system
I am sure. But that's with almost anything. The rattling windows is enough!
how much did you pay
100k
How's the power?
With no def and 74 HP it easily out works my 109hp deleted Kubota svl-90
Way more comfortable as well. Could use a bit more ground clearance
@@thethoughtfulcarpenter ya I love my 255
Does it have a kubota motor?
What’s the difference in price compared to other brands?
Cat motor. Basically perkins cat bought them
They are more expensive and have way more features and comfort. Kubota is like the kia with cloth seats takeuchi is like a Toyota and cat is Cadillac.
This is similar power to a svl 97 with less weight and costs 15-20k more.
I sold my Kubota for a cat because of my local service. Admar was a waste of time and Kubota takes a week to overnight parts. Cat will have it tomorrow
@@thethoughtfulcarpenter
Thanks for the reply! Congrats on your new machine! I want one…
Parts are way overpriced, track system not that great, better off with Kubota, or bobcat,
You can buy my svl-90
Parts are cheaper than Kubota and bobcat is awful with getting those cheap parts. Milton cat has always had what I needed in stock or will overnight it. Admar my Kubota dealer is a joke
@thethoughtfulcarpenter do you still have the svl 90?
@@Chinothebambino sold it about 2 weeks ago
