Toolcat "D" Series Info...

[theoshin]

according to those numbers the lenght on the d will be 144.5 vs 147.5 for the c - three inches shorter??? I thought previously others thought it was going to be longer. shorter is better for me.

looks like the bed goes from 61x52 to 56x51 with same depth. 5 inches shorter and once inch more narrow.

width with smaller tires is 56 vs 60inch for the c ??? does that mean the cab is 4 inches more narrow???
i wouldn't want a more narrow cab if it meant less seat/shoulder/hip/leg room. the spine design would lend itself to a narrow body/cab at the expense of stability and room in the cab.

One big improvement with the D-series is a true hydrostatic drive system. That is just like the Bobcats meaning the machine will slow itself when you let off the drive pedal.....
.

On my 'A' Toolcat, if you let off of the drive pedal it will come to a stop in a hurry.

Speaking of coming to a stop in a hurry, I sure hope Bobcat either moves the Work Mode button or disables it when the Cruise Control is activated. After accidently pressing the Work Mode button instead of the Speed/Hours/RPM button (located side by side on the control panel) while traveling 18mph I can tell you it will stop real quick.
