CAT mulching machine

[yellowdogsvc]

Anyone seen the new Cat Mulching machine that goes into production in May? Supposed to be 350 hp, articulated loader looking carrier with a lot of goodies for comfort.

It's got me thinking..

That's a tough looking machine, how big of a tree will it mulch?

Wow that thing is bad... I imagine it would more than empty someones pockets. Maybe $375,000+? Too bad you cant buy a tier 3 one.

Poor cats.

I posted this on my photo thread before I saw your thread.


I was running late for an appointment so I didn't turn around to check it out. The guy was pulling into a truckstop just North of Denton. It's LARGE...

I think there is a sleeper cab in the arse-end.
I'm impressed with the specs and we already know CAT builds one heck of an articulated loader. One of the smoothest machines I ever operated was a 928.
With CAT service available just about everywhere, I may rethink getting into larger machines.
