I’m mainly loading trucks and moving aggregate and gotta say, the visibility on the 938M surprised me. That big curved windshield helps a lot. No real blind spots, so I’m less stressed about what’s happening around me. Plus those LED lights make a difference on early morning starts, and even lighting up the engine bay is just less messing around with a flashlight. The backup camera and warnings are pretty handy, but sometimes they get distracting when things are tight. The auto lube cuts a bunch of time off my routine, though filling it every couple days is another thing you gotta remember. Didn’t have any real issues with reliability so far, just some minor squeaks when it’s cold, but nothing downtime-worthy. Not perfect but close.

I've been using the Caterpillar 938M for operations around our load sites. The power output stands out, as there's never hesitation in handling hydraulic functions-it's responsive without delays. The comfort level in the operator’s cabin indeed makes long hours less taxing, though I think the seat adjustments could be smoother. Maintenance access, like the lit engine compartment, is practical for evening checks. The control features, especially with all-around LED lighting, have improved visibility significantly in dim settings. It's reliable equipment, though keeping the auto-lube system in check is crucial.

Cab is roomy and quiet. Visibility is excellent - wide curved windshield, almost no blind spots so you really see what's around you. Backup camera and the buzzers warn you ahead of contact. LEDs on the machine give clear light, not that foggy glare, and there are lights in the engine bay and fuel area so you don't need a torch for checks. Controls feel logical because you can actually see your work. I didn't dig into the service side much, can't judge price either.

I’ve driven many machines, and the 938M performs well in aggregate handling at our quarry. The improved fuel efficiency is appreciated-it does help manage operation costs without compromising performance. The scale system is robust for truck loading accuracy, but it took me a moment to adapt fully to its operation. That said, visibility around the machine is remarkable; however, I hope the glare reduction feature remains durable over time. Hydraulic responses are consistent-a nice aspect when maneuvering heavy loads.

For a while, I was completely satisfied with the Caterpillar 938 excavator-loader. The machine is equipped with a C6E engine and a common rail fuel system. One day, the excavator stopped starting. The engine itself worked fine only up to 1500 RPM, and then it would start stalling. Additionally, thick white smoke started coming out of the exhaust. The breakdown was fixed at a service center by an acquaintance. Since then, six months have passed without any further issues occurring.
