The 2023 Caterpillar 259D3 Compact Track Loader is a near-new, low-hour machine with 29 hours, designed for versatile tasks in construction, landscaping, and agriculture, such as grading, loading, and material handling. Powered by a 73.2 HP Cat C3.3B Tier 4 Final diesel engine, it features a 73-inch bucket, hydraulic quick coupler, auxiliary hydraulics, high-flow hydraulics, two-speed travel, 15.5-inch rubber tracks, and a sealed, pressurized cab with A/C, heat, air suspension seat, AM/FM radio, LCD display, and backup camera. Equipped with Performance Package H3 (assumed based on high-flow hydraulics and electronic features), travel alarm, work lights, and a warranty, this fully operational loader offers exceptional performance, comfort, and reliability for demanding job sites.
Features
Chassis and Exterior
Built on a robust steel frame, the 259D3 measures 137.3 inches long (with bucket), 66 inches wide (with 15.5-inch tracks), and 83.1 inches high, with a 59-inch track length on ground and 8.9-inch ground clearance. The vertical lift design provides a 121-inch bucket pin height and 23.9-inch reach at maximum lift, with a 2,900 lb rated operating capacity (3,100 lbs with counterweight) and 5,035 lb breakout force. The 73-inch general-purpose bucket with bolt-on cutting edge ensures durability for digging or grading, and the hydraulic quick coupler (Bob-Tach-style) enables rapid attachment swaps for forks, augers, or grapples. High-flow hydraulics (30 GPM at 4,061 PSI) support demanding attachments like planers or mulchers, with auxiliary hydraulics (23 GPM standard flow) and an electrical connection for powered tools. 15.5-inch rubber tracks offer 1,848 sq in ground contact area and 4.8 PSI ground pressure, minimizing turf damage while maximizing traction. Two-speed travel (5.9 MPH low, 8.5 MPH high), 35-degree departure angle, and suspended undercarriage enhance stability and speed on rough terrain. Work lights (front/rear halogen), travel alarm, and bottom guarding ensure safety and durability, with a maintenance-free chaincase and SmartFAN cooling for efficiency.
Interior Comfort
The enclosed ROPS cab (C3 Comfort Package) is sealed and pressurized, reducing dust and noise (est. 80 dB, 60% quieter than prior models), with A/C, heat, AM/FM radio, and a high-back, heated air suspension seat for all-day comfort. The Advanced Display (5-inch full-color LCD) provides diagnostics, multi-operator security, and on-screen adjustments for implement response, hystat response, and creep control, with rearview camera integration for enhanced visibility. Joystick controls (seat-mounted, adjustable) with dual-direction self-leveling, work tool return to dig, work tool positioner, and electronic snubbing (H3 Package) ensure precise operation. Operator warning indicators monitor air filter, coolant, oil pressure, and more, with a control interlock system disabling hydraulics when the operator leaves the seat. Large windows, dome light, cup holder, 12V outlet, and radio-ready setup enhance usability, with a wider door for easy entry/exit.
Operational Capabilities
The C3.3B engine delivers 73.2 HP and 195.5 ft-lb torque, requiring ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) or up to 7% biodiesel blends, with no DEF for simplified maintenance. The two-speed hydrostatic transmission and Electronic Torque Management maximize performance, while high-flow hydraulics (30 GPM) and auxiliary electrical outlet support complex attachments. The vertical lift path excels in truck loading, with a 121-inch lift height and 89.9-inch clearance at maximum dump. Rated operating capacity (2,900 lbs) and 5,800 lb tipping load handle heavy pallets or materials, and dual-direction self-leveling ensures stable lifting. Grade Assist and SMART technology (industry-first) automate attachment controls, recognizing tools and tailoring settings for tasks like grading or augering. Extended maintenance intervals (e.g., 500-hour oil changes with Cat filters) and ground-level service points reduce costs, with VisionLink® connectivity for remote monitoring. With 29 hours, this loader is essentially new, offering warranty-backed reliability for landscaping, construction, or snow removal.
Performance Highlights
Near-New Power: 73.2 HP, 2,900 lb ROC, and 30 GPM high-flow for heavy tasks.
Advanced Technology: Grade Assist, SMART attachment recognition, and LCD controls.
Operator Comfort: Pressurized cab, air seat, and rear camera for all-day work.
Low Maintenance: No DEF, extended intervals, and 29 hours ensure reliability.
