The Internet | Good machines. I don't doubt that there is an unhappy customer with tales of woe, but they are one of the brands you need to be looking at.
There are construction spec machines and agriculture spec. You need agriculture spec. More power better controls and a cab fit for a human being, not the apes you get on construction sites.
5 is the range
30/35/40 etc is the amount it lifts in metric tonnes
and -70/90 etc is the height it lifts in meters, so a 535-70 will lift 3.5 tonnes to a height of 7 metres.
They used to have Perkins engines, so you should be able get get parts from CAT. At some point, I don't now when, they started building their own engines. I've not heard any complaints, that's not to say they're or none. We were looking at irrigation pumps with their engines in and were told all they had sold were doing fine.
What you describe sounds like what they are doing every day in the UK. Just service it and grease it and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
