New suspention systems everywhere!

OneToughAnimal ยท 2008-08-28 03:57

Any opinions on Cat's torsion suspention system or Bobcat's roller leaf system? looking for opinions and hoping for a test drive sometime soon on one of them to see if they're worth the money. Someday it will be such a smooth ride we wont even realize we just ran over the rake

    i was refering to the MTL system (247BII-297C) but i would assume they're both worth a shot...

    it all depends on what your use to going from the solid mount undercarriage to the bobcat suspension system ( i got to run the prototype they had) you could tell a difference on the concrete because it was a smooth ride compared to the solid mount the windows didn't rattle and you couldn't really tell you where on the concrete but i noticed they rock when you are loaded and go to stop all the weight goes to the front also they dip when your in a pile and have a full bucket and lift up don't know how the grade cut we really dont have a place to really put them through there paces at the dealer ship
