Went to inspect a couple of our Skid steers other day, thought i'd share a few pics as this topic is looking a bit anemic!

A 226 and 246, both working in paper recycling application, 3500 hours on them and fairly square looking machines, not given us too much grief, although the 226 has had a new engine already which was changed under warranty due to a core plug coming out. Only real fault on them was a lack of grease, nice shiny silver pins that squeak and squeel. broke the grease gun out and had a word in the foremans ear and problem solved (hopfully)

Only thing against them is the solid tyres which does loosen your fillings a bit, but i don't have to sit in them all day!

Hi Stuart,

Nice to see some different kit here at CMN

I hope someone get's a good kick up the arse for the lack of grease!..... No excuse in my book for not greasing or looking after kit in general

Great photos,its 10 years (this year) since CAT started its skid-steer and mini excavator lines.
