Cat B3 and C tracked loaders: suspension and tool packages
Three undercarriage systems sit inside this B3/C comparison
The 257B Series 3 is a Multi Terrain Loader. Cat's AEHQ6132-02 contrasts its pliable, cord-reinforced rubber track with the 259B Series 3's steel-embedded Compact Track Loader arrangement. Both are suspended, but the track, rolling components and tensioning descriptions differ.
A shared engine rating does not make their running gear interchangeable.
The B3 brochure also makes two-speed travel optional on the 257B and standard on the 259B. For hydraulic tools, its basic controls provide on/off auxiliary flow; the deluxe package adds proportional control and may include a work-tool harness. The 257B high-flow option is a separate package.
Ask for a demonstration of those controls instead of inferring them from a hose connection.

On the 297C, Cat offers single-level suspension or a dual-level arrangement that adds oscillating bogie wheels. Its package list couples dual-level suspension with self-leveling; the upper package also includes two-speed travel and AMICS. Inspect the package together.
A two-speed switch does not establish that every other optional cab feature is present.
AMICS provides component-status and service-code information as well as selectable work-speed and implement settings. Those settings govern different responses: slower ground travel can suit a planer while implement adjustment changes lift and tilt behavior. The 297C's High Flow XPS choice raises both available flow and pressure; it is more than the continuous-flow command on a standard circuit.

Cat's compact-track brochure assigns radial lift to the 279C and vertical lift to the 289C and 299C. Their matching bucket-pin heights and reach coordinates therefore belong to different lift paths. Choose the coordinate that represents the work, whether digging near mid-lift or placing a load at height.
The 299C additionally has air-to-air aftercooling in this publication. Its higher engine output does not remove the need to match an attachment to the installed standard-flow or XPS circuit.
