I bought the Caterpillar 428 mini excavator a year ago. For six months everything was fine, but recently, three rings on the inclined plate plunger of the hydraulic pump broke. I called a specialist. The expert said that the problem is quite easily solvable. Following his recommendation, I ordered a grinding washer and a plunger with a single ring.

The Caterpillar 120 M grader quickly and efficiently levels the soil. Its controls are not too complicated, but it is better to have an experienced operator behind the wheel. Overall, Cat equipment is great, but I don't like that it is expensive to maintain.

Purchased a used machine on a platform in Europe. This year has been nothing but trouble. Firstly, it is extremely difficult to start in severe frost. It was heavily used before being sold, and it shows - it gradually falls apart. Repairs are not cheap. These are the main drawbacks. On the positive side, it has good productivity.

I rented the CAT 444F2 excavator-loader. I heard many enthusiastic reviews about this machine. But when I started working on it myself, I immediately noticed the disadvantages. Firstly, the huge front wheels obstruct the entire view of the bucket from the cabin. The hydraulic system is weak - it simply doesn't have enough power for a machine of this weight. As for the assembly quality and comfort in the cabin, there is nothing to complain about.

Surprisingly, it still works and quite well. However, we try not to use it too often, as newer machines turn out to be more economical since it voraciously consumes diesel fuel. But when there is a shortage of equipment, it can handle heavy work. In terms of operation, it is naturally very simple, making it perfect for novice bulldozer operators.

We have been using our Caterpillar 444 model for over two years. We had to replace the half shaft, but the breakdown was covered under warranty. We use the loader almost every day. The duration of our work shifts is a minimum of 10 hours. Even in extreme cold temperatures, the machine keeps working. If we consider the downsides, in my experience, the main one is the cost of original parts.

We rented the Caterpillar 324 loader. I am not an operator - I worked on the machine as a subordinate. During the first week of excavator operation, I noticed that the fuel consumption was suspiciously high. Forums write about a maximum of 20 liters, but we were getting close to 25. We started looking for the reason. We assumed that we rented an excavator with heavily contaminated filters. We changed the equipment rental provider and now everything is fine with fuel consumption. The excavator is powerful, maneuverable, and comfortable for the operator.

Productive but compact excavator. Caterpillar's entire range of equipment is superb (we have 3 tractors in our fleet) and the excavator is no exception. The cabin is very comfortable, with good visibility and easy-to-use controls. The main thing is not to refuel it with anything you find. Repairs will be expensive later!

For a while, I was completely satisfied with the Caterpillar 938 excavator-loader. The machine is equipped with a C6E engine and a common rail fuel system. One day, the excavator stopped starting. The engine itself worked fine only up to 1500 RPM, and then it would start stalling. Additionally, thick white smoke started coming out of the exhaust. The breakdown was fixed at a service center by an acquaintance. Since then, six months have passed without any further issues occurring.

Powerful machine for uninterrupted work even in winter. Starts in a second, excellent cross-country capability. Boom reach is more than sufficient. Repairs are definitely not cheap, but careful handling and maintenance extend the life of any equipment.
