MY15C cab version of the 200 mm track platform, built for year-round operation.
The MY15C combines the heavier 200 mm track platform with an enclosed cab. It is the machine for a contractor who needs the stability and ground clearance of a larger undercarriage and the ability to keep an operator productive in cold or wet weather. Nothing about the working equipment changes; what changes is who can use the machine and when. This page explains the combination, the height and weight consequences of the cab on this undercarriage, and the specification details worth confirming before an order is placed.
The logic of this model is that the two features solve different problems and do not interfere. The 200 mm track gives stability and flotation, which is a site problem. The cab gives the operator a controlled environment, which is a labour problem. Buyers sometimes assume a cab machine must be a heavier machine, and on this platform that is not the case: the cab is a station, not a size class. What the combination does give is a machine that can be scheduled through the whole year on sites where the ground is soft for part of it and the weather is hostile for another part.
Adding a cab raises the machine, and that has practical consequences that should be settled at the quotation stage. Confirm the overall transport height with the cab fitted, and confirm whether the cab can be removed or the roofline lowered for container shipment. Ask for the packed dimensions and weight, not just the working dimensions, because freight is quoted on the packed figures. If the machine will be moved between sites on a trailer, check the trailer deck height against the machine height with the boom folded, and confirm the tie-down points on the undercarriage.
A water-cooled engine inside a cab machine has to reject heat twice: from the radiator and from the operator station. That makes the cooling package the part of this machine most sensitive to neglect. Keep the radiator core clean, check that the fan belt is correctly tensioned, and confirm that the air path through the engine bay is not blocked by packed chaff or dust. In very hot climates, ask whether an air conditioning option is available for this cab before ordering, because retrofitting one is far more expensive than specifying it.
Three buyer profiles. A contractor in a cold climate who needs to keep working when the ground freezes and the rain does not stop. A plant hire company that wants one machine to cover both summer and winter hire demand. And an owner-operator who intends to run the machine personally for years and would rather buy the comfort once than upgrade later. For a buyer in a warm, dry market with intermittent use, the open version of this platform delivers the same digging performance for less money and less maintenance.

Sit in the machine and check the sight lines that matter: bucket edge at full reach, right track while trenching, rear corner while slewing. Operate the wiper and washer, open and close the side glass, and check the door latch. Look for gaps in the door seal at the corners. Confirm that both joysticks return to centre and that every function stops when they do. Listen for cab rattles at idle and at working speed, and identify any that appear before signing for the machine, because a rattle that is left becomes a warranty argument later.
Order a spare set of track bolts, a set of bucket teeth, an engine oil filter, a fuel filter and a hydraulic filter with the machine. These are low-value items that decide whether a first service happens on time, and in an export market the freight on a second small shipment usually costs more than the parts. Ask for the part numbers and for the filter cross-reference list, so that consumables can be sourced locally in future. Confirm that the crate includes an English manual and a hydraulic schematic.
