Description
This Caterpillar 299D3XE represents the XE series of compact track loaders configured for forestry and land-clearing applications. The 299D3XE platform provides an operating capacity of 5,085 pounds and a static tipping load of 10,170 pounds, positioning it for vegetation management, site preparation, and heavy-duty material handling tasks.
The powertrain consists of a CAT C3.8 turbo diesel engine rated at 110 horsepower. During the post-repossession inspection, the engine started and ran through all operations. The starter, exhaust system, cooling system, and fuel system were noted as operational. Oil residue was observed consistent with age and use, and fan and belt components showed wear consistent with the documented operating hours.
The hydraulic system features High Flow XE auxiliary hydraulics with a flow rate of 40 GPM. The inspection confirmed the pump, valves, and cylinders as operational. Hoses, fittings, cylinder pins, and bushings exhibited wear consistent with age and use. The hydraulic quick coupler facilitates attachment changes, and a hydraulic oil cooler is installed.
The undercarriage is equipped with 18-inch rubber tracks. Track condition, sprockets, and rollers showed wear documented in the inspection findings. Ground clearance measures 10 inches, and the two-speed travel system provides a maximum travel speed of 8.4 mph. The drivetrain operated normally during inspection.
The operator station is a fully enclosed cab with climate control including operational air conditioning and heat. The cab features a suspension seat with pull-down padded lap bar, joystick loader controls, and an LCD monitor. Additional operator amenities include a rear view camera, backup alarm, front and rear work lights, rear window, and intact glass throughout. Steps, handrails, seat belt, warning lights, and all gauges were confirmed operational.
The chassis and sheet metal showed minor dings and scrapes consistent with age and use. Paint and decals exhibited wear appropriate for the operating hours. Lift arms and associated pins and bushings at the chassis-to-arm, arm-to-bucket, and bucket tilt positions showed normal wear from use. The parking brake was confirmed operational.
Transport dimensions are 160 inches in length, 85 inches in width, and 160 inches in height, with a transport weight of 11,800 pounds. Maximum reach is 33.6 inches.
