Reply To: Cat it12/18 good bad and ugly?

I ran an IT18B a little bit loading a dump truck. It was nice to run and not overly slow. It had a hyd. quick attach that was nice. I'm not sure which engine they all use but some had a 3204. If you're looking at one with higher hours there might be better choices than a 3204. Not that the 3204 is real bad but they aren't as good as say a 3304. The non turbo 3204's generally have less problems because they aren't trying to push max. power.
