After loaders started having the Z-bar linkages and horizontal boom cylinders way back when, there were a lot of bugs concerning efficient hydraulic forces to get worked out... Cat seems to have solved those bugs with the K series. Look at the way the whole machine lunges when it grabs the load from the stockpile, I care more about that than the rear end.

Everybody keeps looking at the rear end of this machine... I don't get it. I'm looking at the front in this video! That's the business end of it anyways! Does anybody else see how much more powerful the boom and bucket geometry look? This K series is where I really see Cat properly designing the stress and load angles and it's where I think much more efficient production will reside.

@ArEs7210 but like i said, i don't dislike the design. ive always liked the look of bigger equipment (or bulkier as some would call it) so to me its just fine, plus im sure their's benefits to the new designs that under lay the design itself.
-
@fox13z400 Yeah all the new machines is getting bigger under the Euro 3\4 norms. Cat gave thiere machines a new design, where as all the other just made the hood much bigger.
-
@rabbitsmeller400 idk, i think it makes it look like heavy equipment (literally). I'll admit it looks a little bigger, but realistically in person i don't think the size difference is that much. It does remind me of the back of a buncher though

@fox13z400 The E excavator Series look horrible in my opinion, they're like mobile homes, you could live in the back of them, the body is just to large and bulky, the older Cat excavators like the ones in this video are perfect.

@rabbitsmeller400 yes, i like them. they don't look bad?
Awesome vid!! There is one around in my area just waiting to run into it

Love these new loaders. The bulky bodies look good on the new loaders but look horrible on the new excavators. Awesome video!
