Using the 966 model has been generally straightforward. Its bucket capacity stands out, making tasks more efficient. I wish the nighttime lighting was slightly brighter, but that's a minor concern. Operating it in tighter areas didn't pose significant challenges, which is a big plus.

I've run 966s on and off for years. Big machine, great sight lines from the cab so you can place the bucket where it needs to be. Controls are straightforward, layout makes switching operators easy. Cab is roomy and you can sit a long shift without feeling wrecked. Swapped buckets and forks on the same shift more than once, saved time. Fuel use is decent if you watch your throttle. Not for green operators though, you need to know what you're doing.

Used the 966H on-site for a week. It's robust and handles loads well. The engine power is satisfying, though its fuel efficiency could be better. Tires are in great condition, which helped manage uneven terrain. The coupler mechanism functions seamlessly. However, the lack of installed sideview mirrors was inconvenient. Despite minor issues, it's a dependable heavy-duty loader.

I've been running the Caterpillar 966 GC for a few months on our site. Its flexibility in handling various attachments is a big plus, making it a versatile choice. The visibility from the cab aids in safety and maneuvering in tight spots. That said, routine maintenance can occasionally feel a bit cumbersome. Still, it's a solid loader.

I had the chance to work with the 966H recently. Its cooling system is designed well, allowing for easy cleaning. Tires are durable, with good traction. A couple of cosmetic issues, like the surface rust, don't impact functionality but should be addressed. Overall, the enclosed cab ensures decent comfort during long shift days.
