I work with the Caterpillar D6. This bulldozer has been serving me faithfully for 8 years. During this time, I have completely replaced the Caterpillar 7U-8701 tracks, the 7Y-1394 planetary reducer, and have changed the cutting edge of the blade 4U-4371 several times. Despite such a long period of use, the C6.6 ACERT engine runs like clockwork. Overall, the reliability and performance of this machine completely satisfy me. The D6N blade with hydraulic control allows me to quickly and accurately perform all necessary earthworks.

I had the chance to work with the 966H recently. Its cooling system is designed well, allowing for easy cleaning. Tires are durable, with good traction. A couple of cosmetic issues, like the surface rust, don't impact functionality but should be addressed. Overall, the enclosed cab ensures decent comfort during long shift days.

Having operated the Caterpillar 140H in various scenarios, I've found it reliable for different tasks. The engine delivers steady power, and it's efficient with fuel. On the downside, noticed a small windshield crack that might get problematic later-minor flaws but worth mentioning. Hydraulics are top-notch, enabling sharp grading adjustments anytime.

Been operating the latest CAT 777 for a few months. Impressive hauling capabilities; handles heavy material with ease. The suspension does a good job smoothing out rough patches, but can't eliminate them entirely. The updated safety features are handy on busy sites. Overall, quite reliable.

Tried out the CAT 777, and the power delivery is solid. That engine doesn't quit; climbing steep inclines under full load? Not a problem. However, I found the in-cab controls somewhat less intuitive than I expected. Still, comfort level is high for something this industrial.

Ran a used CAT 320 on a street rebuild job for a couple months. The engine’s got good grunt, never felt underpowered digging hard clay. Controls feel pretty steady, maybe not as tight as newer models but no surprises. Hydraulics are smooth enough, I didn't run into annoying lag or weird noises which you sometimes get with beat-up machines. Maintenance isn’t a nightmare either, parts aren’t hard to track down. Only thing, it’s not the most comfy cab if you’re running 10+ hours. It’s fine but your back notices by the end of the week. I’d still grab one of these over a lot of the others out there, especially if you’re watching the budget.

Tried out this machine recently. It's efficient; the bucket holds up well under loads without much bouncing. Cab is spacious, and servicing from ground level is a huge convenience. However, joystick steering wasn't as intuitive initially, but it's manageable after getting the hang of it.

Been operating the Caterpillar 320 on-site, and it has a strong engine performance, efficient for digging tasks. Sometimes it feels a bit large to maneuver in tighter spots, but still manageable. Fuel consumption seems decent, better than other models I’ve tried, and having a wide service network definitely helps. It might require some getting used to with the controls if you're switching brands.

Used the 966H on a job recently. The air conditioning worked well-a relief since it gets hot out there. The engine seemed powerful, though I did notice a faint noise from the transmission area. Could just be the usage hours. Steering was smooth but tighter turning would help in confined spaces. Tires looked good, great traction. Overall, it’s functional for various tasks.
