Remember the more moving parts on a machine, the more that can go wrong. The 2.2L engine has been around in one form or another since around 2000, so it's time tested. The new 2.2 has a DPF, but because it's under 74HP, does not have a regen. I can't remember offhand if it takes DEF fluid or not. If you can, it would be a good idea to consider an Extended Protection Plan from CAT. If you don't plan to put many hours on it, you could go with a 5 year 500 or 1000 hour contract that covers everything but maintenance and wear items. The best advice I can offer is keep it off hard surfaces as much as possible-tears the heck out of tracks and make gradual turns, not zero turns-once again will save tons on tracks and undercarriage.</p></blockquote><p></p>
