C234 • Cool air is pulled from top • Through perforated bonnet. • Direct drive fan motor • Stacked Oil Cooler and Radiator
New Holland Bobcat L225
T630 • 2-path cooling system • Cool air pulled in top • Hot air discharged out side • Oil Cooler layered on top of Radiator • Variable speed hydraulic fan motor
Cooling System Airflow The New Holland uses a simple cooling package. The fan is direct drive off the engine. The cool air is pulled from above, then passed through a stacked (in a single plane) cooling package incorporating the radiator, oil cooler, and intercooler. The air exits the rear of the machine where it will not create a dust cloud for the operator. The Bobcat uses a variable speed hydraulic fan motor. The air is pulled through the screen and enters the engine compartment. The screen is capped on the inside which will trap debris and reduce cooling over time. The Bobcat cools the oil cooler first and then the radiator, so the radiator is supposed to be cooled with pre-heated air. The air exits the engine compartment out the sides of the machine and can cause a dust cloud at times. Using Hydraulics for cooling actually builds heat load in the system.

The air then enters the engine compartment. The air exits the engine compartment out the rear of the machine. The cooling package is a unique V-shaped configuration, splitting the oil cooler and radiator on each side. Debris does not get pulled out of the radiator when the fan reverses, since it was lodged in the radiator at a 45 degree angle.

C234 • Standard 2-Speed • “S wave” rubber track design for increased traction • Single front and rear idler
New Holland Bobcat L225
T630 • Optional 2-speed • Dual flange front idler, single rear idler
Transmission Details The New Holland uses a rigid undercarriage with four, triple flange, idlers. New Holland uses a single front and rear idler so that debris is not impacted into the rubber track but rather expelled through the center holes in the track. This can prolong track life and prevent de-tracking. The new undercarriage design allows improved cleanout. The front idler is easy to adjust just by adjusting the grease pack inside. The Bobcat machine has a dual flange front idler and a single rear idler. They offer a rigid undercarriage and a suspension undercarriage, which is just torsion bars attached to the middle idlers. You still will have to go over the bump/rock/etc with the front and rear idler, but it smooths out the center of it. The torsion bars can become very loud and noisy after a lot of use.

289D • Optional 2 speed • Torsion bar front idler adds suspension • Dual flange front idler, single flange rear
NewJohn Holland Deere L225
323E • Dual flange front idler, daul flange rear
Transmission Details Caterpillar uses a front torsion bar on their rigid track design to provide some suspension. They also have a dual front idler and a single rear idler. The front torsion bar makes the machine tippy when trying to load or unload a heavy load. The front torsion bar also makes it difficult to cut a grade; every time you encounter tougher soil the torsion bar springs forward causing your grade angle to change and when the soil gets looser the torsion bar springs back. Other than the torsion bar everything else on the tracks is rigid so the suspension the torsion bar provides is minimal. The dual front idler causes rocks and other debris to be impacted into the rubber tracks and can shorten the life of the track.
Deere uses a dual flange front idler and has the same problem of impacting rocks and debris into the track, but on both the front and rear.

Cab Comfort The New Holland cab is a comfortable and stress reducing environment for operators to spend long days in. The controls and electronics are all ergonomically placed and comfortable to use. Upgrade to New Holland’s Demo door to have a ½” thick “shatter proof” polycarbonate front door. The New Holland intellipanel is very simple with an assortment of warning lights and LCD bar charts for Fuel, Coolant Temp, and Oil Temp. With it mounted on the “A” post, the operator can reference critical machine information during operation. The Bobcat cab is not nearly as wide as the New Holland. The Bobcat also has a high center floor for the chaincase, which leaves little room for the operator’s feet. The Bobcat has a lap bar with seat belt, however the lap bar is only 15.5” deep. Bobcat offers a ¾” thick plexi-glass demo door. The Bobcat offers a standard intellipanel on the upper left side of the cab, out of the operator’s line-of-sight. It has basic functions like fuel level, lights, etc. A second one for the upper RH side is optional and comes with digital display.

The Cat seat and joysticks are all integrated in a suspended system. Every time you hit a bump the seat and joysticks all move causing the operator to inadvertently hit the stick again making a rough jerking move. Operators should be prepared to take their hands off the joysticks when encountering tough terrain. The Deere cab is not nearly as wide as the New Holland. Front visibility is restricted by boom arms. Deere promotes great leg room inside the cab.

T630 • Booms come back to a tower-like design in the rear. • Long rear hood reduces rear visibility
Rear Visibility New Holland has unmatched rear visibility thanks to the small rear towers for the lift arms, and short rear hood, that is angled downward. The Bobcat has a long, downward sloping rear hood with small towers for the lift arms. Due to the long length of the rear hood, it reduces rear visibility to the ground behind you.

Rear Visibility Caterpillar has a high crossbar, along with taller tower-like booms at the rear. All of these things contribute to reduced rear visibility. Notice how the person in the lower image is partially blocked by the rear tower. Deere has rear linkage that completely blocks off rear angle views from the operator’s seat. The front visibility is limited by the booms blocking view to the sides of your bucket or attachment. For more info regarding New Holland’s superior visibility, see https://youtu.be/9hf8D1m8x_Q.

Competitive Comparison: Compact Track Loader Series COMPARE: FRONT LOADER Kubota SSV75 New Holland
C234 • Heavy Duty Composite “Hockey Puck” • Change out with taller or short one to accommodate various carrying heights • Positioned low to transfer loading into frame.
New Holland Bobcat L225
T630 • Steel, non-adjustable boom limiter • Positioned high causing unnecessary stress on booms and boom pivot pin.
Boom Stop – The Pivot Pin Protector! New Holland has designed a heavy duty composite “hockey puck” for lowering the boom onto. These prevent steel on steel banging and wear during digging, carrying, and other operations. The “hockey puck” can be changed out for different carrying heights. When you lower your bucket and push into a pile, the booms will carry the load back into these “hockey pucks”, or boom stops, which allow the main frame to absorb the force. Their location is crucial to the life of the boom pivot pin at the rear of the boom. New Holland places their boom stops low so the force goes directly into them. The Bobcat boom stop is steel and not adjustable. The Bobcat boom stop is located significantly higher, located under the knuckle or “knee” of the boom, which will allow more force and stress going directly into the booms of the loader instead of the main frame. This will reduce reliability and result in quicker wearing boom pivot pins.

The boom stop is multifaceted to help prevent boom sway (at the bottom) and provide a stopping surface.

C234 • Easy access maintenance points • Battery positive terminal easily accessible • Easy access air filter • Coolant reservoir by door hinge • Fuel tank can be filled by raising bonnet • Fuel filter mounted on end of door
New Holland Bobcat L225
T630 • Easy access Maintenance Points • Engine oil filter mounted over starter • Battery positive terminal is facing inside the engine bay. • Air filter latches are hard to access • Fuel Tank in the tub of the machine.
Ease of Maintenance The New Holland engine, with the radiator facing rearward, makes it easy to blow out. The New Holland also has nice clean out holes to remove any debris that could build up inside the base of the machine. Filters, and oil reservoirs are easily accessible as well. For Bobcat, the oil cooler is capped on the inside so debris becomes trapped inside. The coolers are also hard to reach. The engine oil filter is mounted over the starter, allowing the starter to become covered in oil. The filters are accessible from the rear. The fuel tank is located in the tub of the machine.

323E • No rear door • Removable side panels • Oil filter accessed through belly panel • Side panels may rattle due to setting on pins.
Ease of Maintenance For CAT, ground level access to all daily service and routine maintenance points is fairly simple. Filters are accessible thanks to a rear swinging door. The Deere V-shaped cooling package takes up a lot of area, preventing a rear door. This limits filter locations. Many of the service points are difficult to reach. After hours of wear, the side panels protecting the engine may begin to rattle since they are simply setting on pins.
