What's the best website for non current model CAT skid steer specs?
Deere archives product literature on their site for non-current models. You'd think someone like Cat would also see the benefit to this idea. :beatsme
Yep, that would make sense :Banghead Bobcat also has Historical Model Specs.
What model do you need? Cat doesn't have an archive for the public, but I've managed to amass a collection so may be able to help.
http://www.ironrecord.com/ has a lot of information on cat. The detailed specs might be lacking but it can help you with serial numbers, and weights. diggerdata has a few specs.
I was able to find the following: http://www.ritchiespecs.com/ http://www.ritchiewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Caterpillar_Skid_Steer_Loaders
Cat puts all their specifications in a printed book called the Caterpillar Performance Handbook. Books are not usually hard to get and they have a computer version also. I don't know what it takes to get that version though.
I am looking for some spec info on a non current new holland skid steer (lx565) anyone have any suggestions for locating that info....the new holland website doesn't have any archives I can find.
40 HP 1,500 lift capacity is what i found on machinerytrader. Also http://www.diggerdata.com/data/skidsteer/newholland/L565.html -1,500 lift capacity -40 HP 2L Diesel -5,390 operating weight -produced '94-'99 It is a smaller skid steer if that is what you are looking for.
The old Lx565 should be similar to today's L160. (It and the 665 were the same frame design but had slightly different ROCs.) I *believe* the Lx565 became the L160, the Lx665 became the L170, and the L175 is a new ROC size for NH.
Thanks for the info on the lx 565, Mine has no owners manual, but I just located a number to order one for about 45 bucks.
How far back do you need to go ? This site will get you to CAT's Legendary Equipment Service manuals: http://www.cat.com/maintenance-and-support/legendary-service-literature
