[QUOTE="bobcat_ron, post: 9376, member: 1066"] Before picking up my T190, I tried a Takeuchi TL126, it was a nice machine, and a darn good size (under 60 inches) but my biggest beef with all the manufacturers except Bobcat and CAT, is that I need to see the tracks from inside the cab, with the loader slightly up or even tight down low, that's why I have so much against Deere. I was taught and learned the hard way, it doesn't make a lick of difference how much visibility you have from the rear window to the back of the machine, you will need to see exactly where tracks have been when you are backing out of a situation where you have absolutely no room for errors, like wise when you are going through a gauntlet of walls that might have protruding items like re-bar and nails sticking out that could likely tear or rip the tracks when you least expect it to. The options I have considered now are going with a CAT with the VTS system, but I'd like to see an new C-series true CTL from CAT with a better and stronger anti-stall feature and the same 4 point suspension set up they currently use on the MTL's. I could show everyone (and some Deere reps) some pics of what abuse my tracks get, not on the outside of the track, but the inner riding surface, Deere claims that their set up, where the rear and front idlers ride on the rubber portion of the outer inside of the track is a smoother ride, but after 500 hours, my tracks have very little rubber left inside for even the rollers to ride smoothly on, all due to the extremely coarse 3“minus rock I use for our gravel driveways, that's where CAT's MTL would tear up the tracks in less than 500 hours and Deere's rubber would deteriorate in considerably less time.
