Just curious how these machines are for performance and reliability. They look nice and seems a Lot of government entities own them. Could be because of the government programs idk. Dont see as many on the street so to speak. Thanks
I believe you see those alot in the government operations because they are the cheapest on the market. At least that is the way it used to be.
Yes I figured that was the reason basically but was curious if they’ve held up
Prone to emission issues, as was most other tier 4a machines. They were decent machines, with ZF axles and transmissions, FPT engine. Have done a lot of brake seals and axle pivot seals, but not much else for differential work. Has some design flaws, like the batteries being under the electric powered hood. (you could boost through the fuse panel to get the hood open though, but still a bad design flaw) Has some bad ideas of hose and tube combinations for hydraulic lines. IMO they had good powertrain. Chassis could use some refining, so could the hydraulic line routing.
