Cat 259D3 FAQ

How much does a Cat 259D3 weigh?

The Cat 259D3 has an operating weight of 8,987 lb (4,076 kg). To haul it, use a trailer and truck rated for at least that weight plus the trailer and any attachments.

What is the lift capacity of a Cat 259D3?

The rated operating capacity is 2,010 lb (915 kg) at 35% of tipping load, or 2,870 lb (1,305 kg) at 50%. Tipping load is 5,745 lb.

How much horsepower does the 259D3 have?

The 259D3 uses a turbocharged Cat C3.3B engine rated at 74.3 gross HP (73.2 net HP).

What is the difference between the Cat 259D and the 259D3?

They are very close in size and power: both use the 74.3 HP Cat C3.3B engine. The newer 259D3 weighs 8,987 lb with a 2,010 lb rated operating capacity; the 259D weighs 8,945 lb with 2,030 lb. When comparing used units, year, hours, cab, high flow and undercarriage condition matter more than the series.

How many hours is too many for a used 259D3?

For a well-maintained compact track loader, 1,500 to 2,500 hours is mid-life. More important than the number: undercarriage and track wear, hydraulic leaks, and documented service history.
