Heres some pics of my new Cat 963C which replaced a previous model for use on my Landfill Site last year- Our first crawler loader was a 941 which really earned her money. I then went for a couple of 953s and then eventually went for the larger 963 twice. I favour the 953 as its much more agile and "speedy". I still keep one as a back up machine.
We've had a few probs with this latest 963 and cat to take off the drive motors (major job) to repair failed seals. It's also had to have the injectors replaced and we've also had overheating concerns - the automatic throttle has also given jip So it hasn't been all sweetness and light.
TAKE COMPUTERS OUT OF DIGGERS PLEASE! We would have much happier times and save a fortune - Do they not realise to put highly senistive equipment on something which lives with vibration,dirt, water,dust and all the rest of an earthmovers environments is asking for trouble
Enjoy the photos - the pressence of the rainbows was a freeky coincidence - possibly proving that there is really gold at the end of a rainbow -
Cheers - CJM

Re: MY NEW CAT 963C
Hi Chris
Good health to enjoy the new machine!
When I saw the ace bates skips I suddenly realized where you are-any chance of coming up to your site to get a look at your machines???? I do not live that far away-outside the village of Richhill.
