Available in Clayton, Delaware, this 2021 Cat 259D3 compact track loader for sale has 1,902 hours and is priced at $47,000. This machine stands out because of the amount of recent work completed: the seller confirms that the injectors, injection pump, starter, DPF filter, tracks, alternator, and dash were all replaced with brand-new parts within approximately the last 250 operating hours. A 72-inch bucket is included with the sale.

For contractors, excavation companies, landscapers, farms, property-maintenance operations, and other buyers searching for a used Caterpillar compact track loader, this 259D3 combines the capability of Cat's vertical-lift D3 platform with substantial recent component replacement.

Major Brand-New Parts Installed

The recent work is one of the most important selling points on this particular machine.

The seller confirms the following items were replaced with brand-new parts, rather than simply repaired or serviced:

• Brand-new injectors
• Brand-new injection pump
• Brand-new starter
• Brand-new DPF filter
• Brand-new tracks
• Brand-new alternator
• Brand-new dash

The seller reports that this work was completed within approximately the last 250 operating hours.

With only 1,902 hours currently showing, this means a substantial number of important fuel-system, electrical, emissions, and undercarriage components have been replaced relatively recently.

For buyers comparing multiple used Cat 259D3 loaders, that replacement history is worth considering because these are components that can represent meaningful maintenance expense as machines accumulate operating hours.

72-Inch Bucket Included

A 72-inch bucket is included with the machine.

This gives the next owner a useful general-purpose attachment for material handling, dirt work, grading, cleanup, landscaping, farm use, aggregate handling, and other common compact-track-loader applications.

Unlike a bare machine being sold without an attachment, this 259D3 is being offered as a loader-and-bucket combination.

Cat 259D3 Power and Performance

The Cat 259D3 uses Caterpillar's C3.3B DIT turbocharged diesel engine. Caterpillar publishes 74.3 gross horsepower, 73.2 net horsepower, and 3.3 liters of displacement for the model.

The 259D3 uses a vertical-lift design, which Caterpillar designed to provide increased reach and lift height for applications such as truck loading and material handling.

That makes this machine useful for applications including:

• Excavation and site preparation
• Landscaping
• Farm and livestock work
• Material handling
• Dirt and aggregate work
• Property maintenance
• Snow and debris removal
• Grading and cleanup
• Loading trucks and trailers
• Attachment work

Lift Capacity and Loader Performance

Caterpillar publishes a 2,010-lb rated operating capacity at 35% of tipping load and a tipping load of approximately 5,745 lb for the 259D3 in its reference configuration. Rated capacity at 50% of tipping load is approximately 2,870 lb.

The vertical-lift loader reaches a published maximum bucket-pin height of approximately 121 inches, helping make the machine useful when loading trucks, stacking material, or working at higher lift positions.

Actual operating capacity can vary based on counterweights, attachments, machine configuration, and other factors.

New Tracks and Suspended Undercarriage

The seller confirms that the tracks were replaced with brand-new tracks within approximately the last 250 operating hours.

The 259D3 uses Caterpillar's suspended compact-track-loader undercarriage. Cat offered the model with approximately 12.6-inch and 15.7-inch track configurations, depending on machine setup. Published ground pressure ranges from approximately 4.9 to 6.1 PSI depending on track width and configuration.

For buyers working in soft soil, mud, sand, construction sites, farmyards, or other variable terrain, a tracked loader can provide useful traction and flotation compared with a wheeled skid steer.

Hydraulic Capability

The 259D3 was available in both standard-flow and high-flow hydraulic configurations.

Caterpillar publishes approximately:

• 20 GPM standard auxiliary hydraulic flow
• 30 GPM high-flow hydraulic flow
• 3,335 PSI loader hydraulic pressure

The exact hydraulic package installed on this specific machine should be confirmed before purchase, particularly for buyers planning to operate high-flow attachments.

Travel and Maneuverability

The 259D3 uses a hydrostatic powertrain with two-speed travel. Caterpillar lists approximately 5.9 MPH low travel speed and 8.5 MPH maximum two-speed travel speed.

The combination of tracks, compact dimensions, vertical lift, and attachment capability makes the platform useful for both confined jobsites and larger properties.

Size and Operating Weight

Caterpillar publishes an operating weight of approximately 8,987 lb for its reference 259D3 configuration.

Published dimensions include approximately:

• 108.9 inches long without bucket
• 83.1 inches to top of cab
• 121-inch maximum bucket-pin height
• 8.9 inches ground clearance

Actual transport dimensions and weight should be confirmed with the installed 72-inch bucket, track configuration, coupler, fluids, and any additional equipment before arranging transportation.

Why This Particular 259D3 Deserves Consideration

There are plenty of used compact track loaders on the market, but the maintenance history can make a major difference when comparing machines.

This unit has 1,902 hours, and the seller confirms that within approximately the last 250 hours it received brand-new injectors, a brand-new injection pump, starter, DPF filter, tracks, alternator, and dash.

It also includes a 72-inch bucket, giving the buyer an immediately useful general-purpose attachment.

The machine is located in Clayton, Delaware and is offered at $47,000.
