Whether you\u2019re spreading dirt or moving pavers, you need a reliable compact track loader your landscaping business can count on. Something you can grow with, where no job is too big.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why Cat has created the next generation of Cat compact track loaders\u2014the 255 and 265. The 255 replaces the 259D3, while the 265 replaces the 279D3 and the 289D3 models. Both machines build on the success of the D3 series, with some key redesigns and upgrades you\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n
In this post, we\u2019ll cover a few key reasons to stop in and check out a Cat 255 or 265 at your nearest Carolina Cat.<\/p>\n

These new compact track loaders are true workhorses in landscaping by design; all can be upgraded to either Cat\u2019s High Flow or High Flow XPS package based on your business needs. The High Flow XPS option is a game-changer for machines in this class because it provides maximum auxiliary hydraulic performance and extra flow when needed.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re an owner\/operator, these new attachment capabilities will allow you to expand your service offerings to more intensive tasks like stump removal, mulching and grinding.<\/p>\n
Aside from attachments, the 255 and 265 deliver more engine power for those spreading or clearing tasks\u2014tasks that often strain less capable machines in this size class.<\/p>\n
The Cat C2.8T (255) and 2.8TA (265) engines are more accessible from the outside and more powerful than their predecessors. You\u2019ll experience 13% more torque with a 255 compared to the 259D3 and 43% more torque<\/strong> from the 265 compared to the 279D3.<\/p>\n Both machines have 74.3 horsepower\u00a0turbo engines that\u00a0are electronically controlled and maintain consistent horsepower across a wide range of RPMs. No more revving or struggling to maintain power when lifting!<\/p>\n
