The Cat 265 is a powerful, redesigned compact track loader (CTL) replacing older models like the 289, featuring a vertical lift design for better reach, a more comfortable sealed cab with advanced controls (joysticks, touchscreen), a tool-free removable door, a strong 74hp engine with high torque (no DEF), enhanced visibility, and a single-piece undercarriage for improved grading, making it ideal for tough applications needing performance and operator comfort.
