i like the air tarp. Think i would want a body vibrator since you cant slap the gate for when stuff gets stuck. thumbs down on the automatic
100% agree on all 3 things!
Very Nice, congratulations. Tom
+Rui Pedro Silva Thanks!
how do u like the cat auto? did u drive Allison before?
+Andy Hass No complaints so far. Yes the old truck had an allison.
+Dirt Ninja cool. I prefer the cat auto over the Allison. more robust and nice firm shifts. the Allison is a slush box so people don't complain about a "harsh" shift, lol. it's a heavy duty dump truck give me a firm shift any day!
Cool thanks for sharing
I never knew cat made on road dump trucks
cat don't, international does and Cat re-badges them.
The door in the back will unlatch he said LMAO you mean dogears?
Can’t understand why they let Navistar screw with the design, the starting beep is theirs, and they even forgot to paint the engine yellow for fuck sakes.
Stoneage 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂from Sweden no disrespeckt butt check out our Volvos and Scanias or the germans MAN , but i agree that the older Mack and KW are Good trucks😎😎😎😎 and i like the lonestar so Godloking trucks 😉😉😉
No longer in production
With good reason.
What a pos.
Cat already stop making them.
Just a couple of things: conceptually the truck is really nice. It has some good features like the air lift gate, the steerable lift axle, the heavy rears and so on. The issues that I have always had about the International/Cat cab is the poor visibility over the right front of the hood. On job sites that sort of visibility is crucual. That's why the bumper has a three piece design. If you can't see to well generally that is what is sacrificed first, the bumper. The hood on the cat is round and undefined which makes.precision placement of the truck more difficult. It's fine if you want the air cleaner under the hood but it just makes the hood seem bulky etc. I'd get drive tires with more aggressive tread especially if it's an on road off road truck. Finally my greatest pet peave is how trucks today are going more and more to automatic transmissions and are woefully underpowered. Shifting a manual transmission isn't that hard a concept to master. I believe that manual transmissions give the driver more control of the truck. They pull harder, they work much better with the engine brake which means that they will stop the truck better. A 12.4 liter engine especially with all the emission controls will really have to work hard to give you the performance in acceleration, engine braking and even speed over hills. From a buyers standpoint it's a good package when you first buy the truck, but I believe the company would be better served with a manual and more power. Conceptually a good price of equipment but I believe it's lacking in some crucial details. Also remember, Cat is getting out of the truck manufacturing business. I'm sure they're not building anymore for a pretty significant reason........
You comment was one of the best I've read. Clear understandable and concise. The one point you made that I really like is about the hood being rounded. Made a lot of sense.
As far as automatic trans....The 2007 Mac quad with 6 speed Allison that I have used is a power performer. I have never gotten stuck. I have pulled fully loaded quads out with it. It pulls, drives, and go like hell! I have driven a brand new 2019 Mac quad with the Mdrive and have had no problems. I have also driven 2016 T800 Kenworth quad with a Eaton auto and have found no problems either. Plenty of power!
I have been driving auto and 8 speed manuals in Pete, Kenny, Macs quad dump for about 6-7 years in all types of on/off construction /road work . Plus the other 30 years of OTR across 48 states and 4 millions miles, I did that with manual 13, and 18 speed tranies. So now that the knees are over 70 years old the automatics are great. The autos have come along way with the performance and reliability!
A friend of mine bought 4 of these brand new... 3 Tri Axle Dumps (Red) and 1 Tri Axle Tractor (Gray).. He got a great deal on them they were left overs from the last year they made them.. it's a hell of an upgrade considering they replace a 1988 Kenworth Tandem dump truck and a 1992 international Tractor...
hows he liking these,,,, i think ill stick to Mack , Kenworth, and Peterbilt
@@PersistentPatriot they are junk
only bad thing is automatic
which ken worth did this one replace? cuz in my opinion the kw t880 or even t800 are a lot better trucks then the cat ones
+jv hood We had a T300 tri-axle. Under powered and couldn't haul enough weight. I looked at a T880. They are nice but they were the most expensive by far out of the 4 I got prices on.
yeah thats true but they do perform very well we have a couple
I'm telling you from experience the cat ct660 is nothing but trouble it's not even cat it's 13 letter shit spreader from navastar
Matt65 ....international P.O.S....
Such an incredibly well thought out, designed beautiful truck. How could they have never caught on and have been discontinued?
Because they're shit
Get a 20 inch wood chipper so u can do land clearing and this truck would help haul the wood chips of sit
wood chipper Bandit,
The days of good dump trucks is over. Several years ago. I'd go buy all the old Mack's and pay to completely restore them to new condition.
You think a Mack is good??? That’s fucking funny shows how little you know dumbass
@@GRIZFAN4LIFE So you're going to insult him because his personal preference is Mack? Seriously this is what America has come to disgusting.
Also I'm not picking on your choice of cat truck for purchase, but instead I'm curious when you purchased this truck , was there not any concern with cat quitting and getting out of highway trucks building ? Any concern over support and or any possible situations may arise from this truck? Or is navistar going to support this equipment in the future since cat doesn't want to play the emissions game? Just wondering what your thoughts may be?
+william Delarge We purchased the truck before Cat announced that they were stopping production. Our dealer has told us that they will support all Cat trucks until there are none on the road. I am not too worried at all about parts. Cat made the truck with Navistar and the new International HX series trucks that were just announced are literally the same exact truck as this one. I will be able to get parts from Cat or International for ever.
CAT just announced that they are leaving the truck market.
+fran koch Because they were garbage we bought a cat ct660 tractor when they came out in 2012 and had so much trouble with it the cat dealer bought it back since it stayed at the cat house more then it did on the road. A bigger company down here got 15 of them and didn't keep them six months before getting rid of everyone and getting kenworths.
Looks like a well designed cab. Impressed
Nice dump body and air tarp is so much nicer than electric.
Surprised that there is no backup alarm?? Great video and nice truck though.
+Jer Bear There is one. You just cant hear it form inside the cab. Its a super quiet cab
Hows the truck doing now ? Have you had many problems?
Nice truck mate for you type of work I'm sure you will look after it the diff locks are very handy cat put a lot of thought into their equipment to stay ahead of the game .but you pay for it
good looking dump truck
Help!!!!! Going to look at one today??? Should I like it?? Would you still want it?
nice bideaux box made in quebec st félix de valois 5 minutes from my home !
My dream dump truck currently working to get my CDL
What kind of camera was this filmed on? Getting some odd horizontal distortion at 1080p. Lower resolutions don't have it. Checked some other video's and they are ok at 1080p.
+RMosher11 Yea I filmed it on my phone (LG-G3) my regular camera died about a min in and I wanted to get this up for you guys. I wont be using it again I wasnt to impressed.
+Dirt Ninja
The Show must go on.
Good save with the LG-G3.
I really LOVE the interior on that dump truck :-D!
love that tailgate...I gotta move pins on my dumptruck for a swingate when I haul stumps and concrete...hope the emissions don't cause ya to many problems down the road..good luck!
+Ryan Gahr Thanks! Yea the tail gate is really nice.
looks nice
Do you still have this truck.
How did the truck work out for you guys?
JUNK!!!!
I will keep my 80s Ford Louisville fleet
There actually really nice trucks my dad has the twin tag axle configuration with a 13 speed the only thing I don't like about it is the emissions system it's the pre def system I wish he deleted it then it would be a perfect truck
I'll stick with Volvo.
Can you move your 200 deer with that truck and trailer set up
+wefdjbl Yes I will be able to. But I will mostly still use a lowboy. It is a lot of weight to haul behind a tri-axle
I just started a new job and no experience with dump trucks and I don't know how much psi I should be using with a full load? do you have an idea to what settings on the lift axle psi?
You paid for the name. Everything about that truck is international. Even the gauges are from International. The ct13 is international. The only motor cat mafe partly gor those trucks is the ct15. Check under your hood for "bosch". I bet you find it.
Does this truck have a standard JBUS port or one of CATs proprietary diagnostic ports? If one of there's, does it have a 9 Pin CAT port or one of the 14 Pin CAT ports?
Awesome truck
will you be getting logos for the company?
+Jamiekelly Jamie05162002 We did a few days ago. Follow me on Facebook (link in description) I have a photo up of it all lettered up.
Awesome truck!
i assume you have a license to drive that thing, how much did that cost to get? (licences, not the truck)
+Ram-n_dodge I do. License... i dont know... it was a long time ago. Under $200

thanks for the reply
Great Video 👍

It’s not an actual cat engine. It’s a maxxforce international. The adept ape TH-cam channel has more information on this exact truck. He’s a cat mechanic.
Is that really a Navistar engine? I've been reading they have lawsuits filed against them for knowingly putting faulty engines out. I'm looking into getting a 2014.
Wish y’all used a Bobcat T870, And have y’all had any trouble with your cat ct660?
Should have bought a Mack Cat should have never got into truck building stay with what you do best International frame with a Mack wanna be cab.
Cat wins! I'm going to be building my own Catapillar style toy dump truck soon and I'm gonna put it on a freestanding chassis so that I can play with it out in the field. The only problem is I'm going to need to make a tailgate for it and that is not gonna be the easiest thing to do.
i know someone that currently uses a single axle ford, sometimes tows up to 35,000 pounds around there, based on that minimal recommendation, would you say this is a recommended truck. He's looking at getting a new one right now. Current truck struggles up hills with excavator
You made a big mistake buying this truck. It’s not reliable and the interior feels cheap
The price?
How much was it if you don't mind me asking?
+Ryan Silva $192k
+Dirt Ninja if you don't mind me asking one more question. How much did your bobcat mini excavator cost? I'm thinking about other job options that's why I ask
I believe you meant to say 1700 foot pounds of torque...not 1700 "pound feet"" lol
That hood is extremely light, or some sort of easy lifting mechanism because it looks like he did it with one hand lol
can you operate this with a CDL class B license?
Old question.........but, the answer is Yes. You can operate ANY dump truck or straight truck available. The only issue you'd run into is if you wanted to pull a trailer with it. Without a class A license, you'd be limited to pulling less that a 10,000 pound trailer
In Florida you can with a Class B air brake..
pretty nice but a lot of haters of these it seems - i know guy with 10 of them- he keeps buying them
Would you mind telling us how much it costs for those of us that don't live in the US I'm in Australia
Only thing the trucks really missing is some steering wheel controls for convenience
What is the towing capacity of this rig?? Lol just went farther in, and got my answer
Good Tour.
+VideosByAl Thanks for watching!
i want 2 drive 1. :) they look nice..
International truck copy cat and why they copy the cluster
Just to let you know . Marker INT is actually marker light interrupter switch. It's legally said its there for "checking your lights" but that's not true . Drivers communicate at night with their lights. So for eg you pass someone and the flash you saying your good to bring her over you then hit the interrupter to say thank you!
But that is considered illegal in Canada and USA so hence why the interupt is their for driver convenience but badge under driver light check.
Btw anyone who reads this I'm "NOT" saying rely on another driver solely to tell you at night your clear to lane change! That's for you to ensure your safe to change lanes! Just clarification in case anyone misinterpreted what I previously said
Has the same transmission selector on my Kenworth that has an Allison.
do you know why cat stopped making these trucks?
im looking for the fused box location for this truck
How much did the truck cost with all of your aceories?
don't get me wrong i really like this truck though
They copyed international trucks at 8:13
That is a kickass truck so what was the cost of that bad boy?
just curious, could you fit your 289 ctl and your 305.5 mine ex in the dump of this truck at the same time and move them without a trailer?
+Lsatq No the bed isnt long enough
Should of bought a mack.
you said it
Mack is really a Volvo now
Scania has much better turning radius
Nice good luck whit it I'm going to get it in red
Did you buy this truck in Maine?
I’m a driver and I will drive an automatic
how much did this bad boy set you back?
Hi boy, how many gears has this automatic gearbox? Thanks for the video nice truck
6
Reminds me of an international inside
Don't use the bird to point please
tailgate aka new hightech spoiler
stick a snow pusher on that puppy
Can u do a video driving the truck
I like Scania better as a truck but CAT has some nice excavators
Believe me if we could get the badass trucks you guys get in Europe we would.
Navistar motor ewww
Caminhão bonito.. parabéns
Why not a MACK ?
I like the Mack Granite
I've driven both and as far as spending 10 hours a day in it, I prefer the Cat.
👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👍👌👌👍👌👌👍
Milton cat... are you from mass?
... actually now that im further into the video i got my awnser lol
Im from NH
Ahh nice. Good looking tuck though i have to say!
Hey kemar
I
Great video!
How many HP?
Can you explain the trolley brake you mention and what its used for and will this truck haul your excavator? Thanks
+Blake Budney The trolley brake puts the trailer service brakes on. It is only for testing to make sure the brakes work. It is the only way to test the service brakes of the trailer independently from the truck
+Blake Budney And yes I can pull my excavator now. But I will mostly use a lowboy. It is a lot of weight to haul behind a tri-axle
+Dirt Ninja Ok cool. Great videos and thanks for answering questions.
It looks like a re-badged Vulva to me. I certainly hope it is not for your sake. I would have put floaters on the front axle since you changed rims anyway. Good luck. the KW will be running long after that one is given up on. LOL
+CumminsDslPwr They're made by Navistar. Although CAT is moving production in-house.
I've always been told by most construction people that cat runs longer than anything else on the market.
Why? Modern Volvos are good trucks. All of Mack's models are rebadged Volvos so how does that feel Mr Murican?
Very true. I have nothing against Volvo trucks, but I've always liked the look of the max a lot better. Also I like the max because even with the new Cummins engines they sound different than most other trucks.
thanks
