Milton CAT D6T - Manual (Page 18)

Machine Selection. Make detailed
comparisons of the machines you are
considering before you buy. How long
do components last? What is the cost
of preventive maintenance? What is the
true cost of lost production? Your Cat
dealer can give you answers to these
very important questions. Purchase. Consider the financing options
available, as well as the day-to-day
operating costs. This is also the time
to look at dealer services that can be
included in the cost of the machine
to yield lower equipment owning and
operating costs over the long run.
Serviceability. Quick and easy
serviceability means less downtime
and more productivity. Sight gauges,
filter locations, convenient access to
oil and coolant sampling ports and an
engine compartment-mounted work
lamp make daily and periodic service
faster and easier.
Product Support. Nearly all D6T parts
can be found at Cat dealer parts
counters. Cat dealers utilize a worldwide
computer network to find in-stock
parts to minimize machine downtime.
An exchange program for major
components may be available. This will
shorten repair time and lower costs.
Remanufactured Components. Genuine
Cat remanufactured parts helps save
money with the same warranty and
reliability as new products at cost
savings of 40 to 70 percent. Components
are available for the drive train, engine
and hydraulics.
Parts Pricing. The price of parts can
impact the overall owning and operating
cost of any piece of equipment and are
often overlooked when a purchase is
being considered. At several points in
the machine’s life cycle, maintenance
or repair parts will be required.
Parts pricing is all about maximizing
the bottom line of the end-user and as a
result, Cat parts are priced, on average,
35 percent lower than those of other
tractors in this size class.
Resale Value. History has proven, and
continues to show, that Cat machines
bring a much higher price than other
brands when resold. This translates
into all Cat equipment owners getting
a greater return on their investment than
with other brands.
