I have a 236b and think its a great all around machine, the heat cranks.......

Exactly, The harness and speakers came with the package. the radio did not and is big bucks. I'd rather buy the aftermarket.

I just picked up a Cat 303.5 Excavator, and was looking for a Radio that installs using the factory harness. Does anyone know of a radio that will install using the factory harness?

Anyone see the new cat 299 skid steer? Its insane....... Just hate the price........

I think the combo is a bit expensive, but there is no alternative. Tire/wheel have a good amount of "bounce" in them, not overly firm. The tracks are good, they have great floation and dont gouge the pavement. They do leave dark black skuff marks and parts of the pads have worn and broken off...

Has anyone seen a big diiferance with their bucket angle after adding over the tire tracks? Seems that my bucket while at ground level digs into the soil... anyone else have this problem?

I got the Mclarens with the rubber ott tracks. they are ok, good float but now that I have about 20 hrs on I see the rubber getting chewed up along the edges. I dont think they will last a 100hrs.

They don't seem like they are extendable, and with me being 6'4 I'm usually looking right through the muddy part. thanks

I replaced the wiper with a slightly longer one, but would like it to cover more of the window for visibility. I've been thinking of replacing or extending the arm, Has anone replaced the standard wiper arm on their machine with a longer one?

We haven't had much snow, but they worked well in the big 2inch storm that came through. I like the rubber shoes because they dont gough the pavement.

Since everyone is talking doom and gloom, here in new york the economists are predicting 0% job growth over the next year or two. Inflation is at 6%, and it is the first time since 1932 that both the housing market and the stock market are spiraling downward. I do agree that things do correct...

I just went through the same upgrades on my Cat 236b. It came with the 12x16 caterpillar tires. I was doing alot of work in soft dirt and with the weight of that machine, I would find myself losing traction, getting stuck in deep mud, and just not getting the power to the ground. I also do use...
