Y’all just don’t know how many times I cursed y’all’s engineers for the door not opening up all the way and burning my arm on the work light trying to get out! Glad to see a roomier cab also! Will definitely be looking at upgrading soon!
I didn't care for the new logo at first but now they are growing on me.. at my company we have 66 of the 299 model from 2011-2017 we are going to start replacing the older ones
While the door opening is now wider, I would much rather have seen a door revamp to allow exit regardless of the position of the mast. Exit with it raised only a couple inches interferes with the door opening unless its raised to almost max height. Other wise, great improvements. The smart tool feature is something that makes these machines much more versatile.
Can my 2018 electronics be upgraded to this style without having to buy a new machine? I love my 239d, but I like the reference points on the new back up camera, and I like that the backhoe attachment can be run with the door on.

i got 3 problems why can't you put battery on right side so that changing oil filter is easier on 75 hp machines ,,, and second on the new 259 D3 greasing the rear torsion bar why didn't you put grease zirks where they were originally ????? the new ones are BEHIND THE DAM DRIVE SPROCKET which in turn means IN THE MUD !!!! which means if you need to grease frequently you have to constantly dig them out !!!!!!!! dumb dumb dumb !!!!! kinda like the 257 D the rear torsion inner grease irk is in a real stupid spot also !!!! also on the front window the bottom seal where it curves around the bottom it always separates from windshield !!!! why not make window more round in that area so that don't always happen ???
