I have run both and I still prefer a Cat. The main reason is I like two sticks for the loader controls and Cats controls have a quicker response with no delay. Their is a Reason Cat out sells any other brand of Track loaders. They haven't changed their loader design since they made the first rear mounted engine track loader. Why change a perfect design. Liebherr tried to copy without success.
Cat stole that Idea from International . International had the first rear engine track loader but it was too early for its time just never caught on then Cat bought the patten and I guess just at the right time . the 953 is a good loader.
letsdig18, Liebherr makes its own engines, a 7 liter 4 cylinder of up to 200hp and a 10.5 liter six pot. The 4 banger is bigger than most of the competitions six pots.
I still dont like the Dana hydrostatic they use in their loaders though...
question.....does the type of soil or environment make a difference as to how well one of these machines performs?

I am looking at buying the bigger 634, or a Cat 963D. Not sure which is the better machine. I see lots of conflicting comments. So which one?

not really. A Liebherr will out work a Cat any day of the week

lol are u kiding me? A cat 953 or 963 would out run this machine anyday. Ask any operater who operates a cat.

I am an operator who operates both. so no need to ask anyone

I know right. Im a huge cat fan, I believe the bigger cats and even the smaller are the most durable and reliable machines you can even get.

@letsdig18 the loader would come in handy for moving trash at a burn pile
