Expands
Rebuild Capabilities
HOLT Power Systems is nearing completion on two
expansion projects that will increase capabilities and
provide customers with additional repair options from
HOLT CAT.
A 28,000 square foot engine rebuild and overhaul
facility has been built in San Antonio. This addition, which
is equipped with a positive air-conditioning system with
high-efficiency filtration to control contamination from
dirt and other foreign materials, doubles the overhaul
capacity for diesel and natural gas engines which power
earthmoving equipment, petroleum drilling rigs, natural
gas compressor packages and generator sets for standby,
emergency and prime power.
To ensure the engine rebuilding process is as efficient
as possible, the new facility was designed with each of the
steps in an engine rebuild taken into consideration.
HOLT has established 13 distinct tasks in the engine
rebuilding process – Wash, Teardown and Inspection,
Machining, Component Rebuilding, Reassembly (eight
stations), Dyno Testing and Final Inspection, then
Repainting.
All of the rebuilding tasks will be monitored and
refined, with the goal being to rebuild C32 and 3412
engines in 48 hours. By implementing more efficient
processes and conducting quality checks at specific points
in the rebuild, the goal is to reduce the current eight
day turnaround in half, and then continue refining the
processes to reach the 48 hour goal.
With the addition of two engine dynamometers, one
HOLT is capable of dyno testing
3600 sized large bore engines.

rated to 1,725 horsepower and one to 4,500 horsepower,
HOLT will have the ability to measure engine burn rates
and analyze five gas emissions indicators.
New, higher capacity machining tools have expanded
HOLT’s capabilities to perform machining on all engine
sizes.
HOLT’s Longview Power Systems Division is now
housed in a 52,500 square foot stand- alone facility at
2210 Neiman Marcus Parkway, just 10 minutes from the
main campus on Loop 281. Nine thousand square feet of
the new space is dedicated to the Power Systems parts
department where PSD customers can conveniently order
and pick up parts over the counter.
As in San Antonio, the Longview engine rebuild and
repair facility will be fully capable of rebuilding diesel
and natural gas engines that are used in many petroleum,
electrical power generation, industrial and earthmoving
applications. A complete machine shop will support the
engine rebuild operation, enabling enhanced turnaround
times.
HOLT has established a regimented process for
rebuilding engines that are used extensively in the oilfield
and energy exploration industries. The 3500 “Hybrid
Assembly Line” will allow segmenting of the complex
elements of this rebuilding process. By focusing on a
defined segment of the rebuild, technicians become experts
in a specific portion of the process. Once a technician
masters a particular segment, he can then move on to the
next repair segment. By mastering all of the rebuilding
segments he will then have the competencies to complete
an entire rebuild. The customers’ benefit from a hybrid
assembly process will be enhanced quality, greater rebuild
efficiencies and a shorter rebuild turnaround time.
The rebuild facility has three engine dynamometers,
one rated at 1,750 horsepower and one rated at 3,125
horsepower. A 6,000-horsepower dynamometer,
specifically designed for testing large bore (3,600-sized)
industrial engines is the third dyno unit. Since there are
only two or three of this sized dynos in North America,
HOLT’S Longview facility is in a unique position to
be able to offer dyno testing on 3600 sized large bore
engines.
The entire Longview facility is operating within
“Lean Manufacturing” guidelines, which is an overall
methodology that seeks to minimize the resources needed
for production. Emphasis is on eliminating activities that
inflate costs, lead times and inventory requirements, and
placing more focus on the use of planned maintenance,
quality improvement programs and a flexible work force.

rebuild capabilities please contact your Product Support
Sales Representative.

Life Saving
First Aid
On July 22, Bobby Andrews, Bridgeport Power
Systems technician, rushed to the aid of an Oxy
Petroleum employee who fell unconscious from
heatstroke at the Terrell Plant.
According to Bobby, he was simply doing his job,
nothing he wouldn’t expect from anyone else. He
attributes his action to experience and training.
Bobby was on-site that day servicing a Caterpillar®
generator and had just sat down for lunch when he
heard a frantic call for help on the two-way radio.
Bobby ran approximately 300 yards to the operations
room where 50-year-old Mike had been unconscious
for a total of five minutes. Bobby immediately opened
Mike’s airway, checked his pulse and applied mouthto-mouth. Mike’s skin felt very warm and he had a
very faint irregular pulse, which made Bobby think
of heatstroke.
While someone located an automated external
defibrillator and first aid kit, Bobby used a damp
cloth to cool Mike down and a bottle mask to keep
oxygen in his lungs. He was able to relay pertinent
information to the EMTs when they arrived one hour
20 minutes later.
Bobby points out a silver lining as a result of this
incident. The Terrell Plant has added more AEDs and
additional wall station kits that include an oxygen tank,
glucose and heart monitors, and other related first aid
supplies. For many remote locations, the EMTs are
often community volunteers, like Bobby himself, and
there are only so many ambulances and volunteers.
When the initial 911 call for this incident was made,
the ambulance was transporting a patient to a hospital
in Iraan, which caused the hour 20-minute delay. It
was fortunate that Bobby was on site!
Bobby and his wife Connie, also a trained EMT
who serves as a Schleicher County fire department
volunteer, live on a ranch near Eldorado.

Hydraulic Excavators to Fit Your
Jobsite Requirements
Caterpillar 320D L, 320D LRR and 321D LCR
®
Whether your work space has plenty of
elbow room or you tend to work in tighter
areas, Caterpillar® and HOLT CAT have the
hydraulic excavator that will perfectly fit your
job requirements. The 320D L provides a
standard swing radius of 9 feet. If your work
area has tighter quarters, the 320D LRR has a
reduced tail swing radius of 6 ft. 7 in. For the
tightest of spots, the 321D LCR has a compact
tail swing radius of 5 ft. 6 in.
These excavators have about seven percent
more engine power and increased hydraulic
pressure for increased breakout force, greater
lift force and increased drawbar pull. All of
this combines to deliver faster cycle times and
superior productivity. The heavy lift circuit is
standard on the D-Series models. At the
touch of a switch, heavy lift boosts hydraulic
pressure for increased lift performance.
Unique Features
320D L
• Designed for heavy and general
construction
• Offers the largest digging envelope,
more undercarriage and front linkage
options
• Ground-level access to all major service
points
radius when the boom is pulled up for
easier operation in limited spaces
• Excels in road construction requiring
work adjacent to active traffic lanes and
in tunneling and other underground
applications
Special Features
Hydraulic system pressure creates stick
and bucket forces that are about seven
percent greater than the previous models for
aggressive digging. Drawbar pull is about five
percent greater for increased maneuverability
and solid performance when moving on
slopes or when traveling in poor underfoot
conditions.
All utilize the Cat® C6.4 engine which
employs ACERT™ Technology as well as
the ADEM™ A4 electronic control module
which manages fuel delivery to get the best
performance per unit of fuel used.
These excavators incorporate additional
systems to save fuel. The Standard Power
Mode can reduce fuel consumption as much
as eight percent when performing work that
doesn’t require full power. Automatic Engine
Speed Control cuts engine speed in no-load
or light-load situations. The cooling system
has a demand fan controlled by a viscous
clutch that automatically adjusts fan speed to
meet cooling requirements.
Among the many optional features is the
Tool Control System for D-Series models. The
Tool Control System is exclusive to Caterpillar
and allows operators and technicians to set
auxiliary hydraulics flows and pressures by
using the monitor in the cab instead of
using expensive service tools. The customer
can pre-set and store as many as 10 flow
and pressure settings for 10 different hydramechanical work tools.
For more information about the 320D L,
320D LRR and 321D LCR, contact your HOLT
CAT representative.
320D LRR
• Well-suited for work in areas with
restricted space such as in cities,
demolition and industrial applications
• Can be equipped with a high ambient
cooling package

Governor Rick Perry announced to
hundreds of people gathered for a recent
groundbreaking ceremony about a new
Caterpillar manufacturing plant. The
one-million-square-foot, $170 million
manufacturing plant will employ about
1,400 people. It will be located on
Interstate 10. Gov. Perry says that this is a
big deal for Seguin, and this is a big deal
for the state of Texas.
Perry says the Caterpillar plant is just
part of what will make the global economic
downturn less severe in Texas, and he
credited low taxes, a focus on education
and reasonable state regulations for
helping create jobs. “Every time you see
that piece of Caterpillar equipment in the
future, you will know a big piece of it was
made in Texas,” Perry continued.
Seguin was in competition with locations
in Mexico, Alabama and South Carolina
to build large engines for Caterpillar
equipment. It won with the help of a
10-year property tax abatement, promises
to build roads and sewer lines to the plant
and $10 million from the Texas Enterprise
Fund.
Gary Stroup, vice president of
Caterpillar’s large power systems division,
said the biggest factor that brought the
company to Seguin was its friendly and
helpful people. “Everyone we have met
here are the kind of people we want to be
with, the kind of community we want to be
part of,” Stroup said.
Peter Holt, owner of HOLT CAT in San
Antonio, the largest U.S. Caterpillar dealer
and great-grandson of the company’s
founder, was on hand for the ceremony.
“I wish I could say I had a big role in
bringing them here, but they were already
rolling when I got involved,” he said. But
Holt said he’s been pushing the company
for a decade to come to Texas and tried
to use his friendship with Perry to help
persuade him to commit money from
the state’s Enterprise Fund to lure the
company here.
The first phase of the plant is scheduled
to be complete in 2010, and the entire
project should be finished in 2011.
Caterpillar is closing plants in Illinois and
South Carolina to consolidate the work in
Seguin.

‘Roundtheseparts – Product Support
Refuse to Accept Failure
Have you heard the expression, “Failure
is not an option”? Some coaches use that
line when motivating their teams. They
encourage athletes to focus so intensely on
success that the possibility of failure never
crosses their minds.
While this coaching strategy may or may
not be effective, the idea certainly has merit
— not just in athletics, but in the earthmoving
business, too. Imagine how successful your
company could be if you managed your
equipment in such a way that catastrophic
failure was not an option.
Life without failure
Construction and mining equipment
is designed to wear out over time, but it
doesn’t have to fail — ever. If a machine is
properly operated, maintained and managed,
problems can be predicted and prevented,
and repairs can be completed before failure.
Great things are in store for equipment
owners who refuse to accept failure. Here are
just some of the benefits.
• Maintain production. Without the
disruption of unplanned downtime, you
can stay on the job, moving material and
earning revenue. You’ll have the power
to do more work in less time and be in a
stronger position to compete for additional
business.
• Schedule repairs at convenient times.
When service is planned in advance, it can
be done at the best possible time, instead
of the worst. You’ll determine when to
take the machine out of service, and as a
result, production won’t have to suffer.
• Minimize downtime. It takes more time to
repair a failed component than it does to
replace a worn one, so by fixing problems
before failure, you can keep your machine
working a larger percentage of the time.
• Control repair costs. Unplanned repairs
cost much more than planned ones,
because when a component fails, there
is usually contingent damage. The extra
problems increase parts and labor costs.
To control repair costs, it’s best to take
care of problems before they turn into
catastrophes.
• Get full value from the equipment
investment. Repairing and replacing key
components at the right time — not
too early, not too late — allows you to
capitalize on all the performance and
life that was designed and built into your
product. You invested in a productive,
durable machine; be sure to get what you
paid for.
Preventing failures
If you’re determined to keep your
Rebuild Day 1
equipment running productively and cost
effectively over its entire life cycle, here are
some things to keep in mind.
• It starts with the operator. Put the right
person in the cab, and you’ll reduce the
risk of premature component failure. Hire
exceptional people, train them thoroughly,
help them improve their skills and reward
them for excellent performance. Make
sure operators always perform thorough
walk-around inspections prior to start-up.
Teach them safe and proper operating
procedures, and encourage them to be
alert for leaks, noises and other signs of
trouble.
• Maintenance matters. It’s impossible to
overstate the importance of maintenance
discipline. To keep a machine failure-free,
change fluids and filters on a regular
schedule, using high-quality oil and filter
products and safe, clean maintenance
procedures. The change intervals the
manufacturer recommends can be
adjusted, but if you modify them, work
with a professional who understands your
equipment and the application in which
it works. Don’t forget to keep accurate
maintenance records, too. An up-to-date
maintenance history will help you spot
recurring problems and take care of them
before they cause failures.
• Fluid analysis pays off. Fluid analysis
remains the single best way to catch critical
problems in their early stages. Choose
a comprehensive analysis program that
reports on component condition as well
as fluid condition. Be sure you’re using
proper sampling procedures, submit
samples regularly and trust your fluids to
professionals who have the knowledge and
experience to interpret results accurately.
• Conduct regular inspections. For best
results, stick to the inspection schedule
established by the manufacturer of your
product. It should include a daily walkaround, performed by the operator; a more
in-depth inspection, completed during
fluid and filter changes and incorporating
fluid analysis; and a comprehensive
30 Days after delivered to customer
performance assessment, done by a
professional service technician, annually
or every 2,000–3,000 hours.
• Pay attention to repair indicators. Most
of the time, your machine will try to tell
you when something’s not right. The key
is to pay attention. Leaks, unusual noises,
excessive smoke, abnormal vibrations,
gear slippage and overheating are all
warning signs that could indicate critical
problems. A quick check of a machine’s
service meter hours, service history, fuel
consumption or fluid analysis results can
also reveal the need for planned service
work.
• Take action before failure. When signs
point to a potential problem, schedule
service at your earliest possible
convenience. Then be sure to follow
through with your plans. All too often,
as time runs short and deadlines loom,
equipment owners postpone planned
service, telling themselves they’ll get to
it later. But later only happens when the
machine fails — and the end result is lost
production, excessive downtime and high
repair costs.
Work with a professional
It takes a proactive plan and a lot of
hard work to keep your equipment running
without failure. But it can be done. It’s a big
enough job, however, that we recommend
you seek out a partner. Your Product Support
Sales Representative (PSSR) is someone
you can count on. They should know your
machine, your application and your business
objectives. Discuss your respective strengths
and weaknesses, and determine which, if
any, services you’ll do yourself, and which
are better handled by HOLT CAT. Identify
tasks to be completed; specify roles and
responsibilities; agree on a timetable for
completion; set improvement goals and
measurements; and negotiate a fair fee
structure. Working together, you and your
PSSR can create and execute a disciplined
equipment management strategy, one in
which failure is not an option.

Fluids
Analysis Service
The HOLT CAT Fluids Analysis Laboratory
has made some major improvements to the
services that it can provide to our customers.
In 2006 the Fluids Lab was placed under the
Customer Support department, where close
attention was given to the Lab’s capabilities
and processes. Increasing demand and
volume of the labs oil analysis service has
created a need for some changes. We made
several changes to the Oil lab, including
purchasing new equipment and going
“green.”
We replaced two ICP (Inductively Coupled
Plasma) Instruments, which are used for
wear metal analysis. The older units could
only sample for 7 elements while the new
units now have the capability of testing for 15
elements allowing us to detect problems that
were not visible before. The new instrument
is 50 % faster, which ensures quicker, accurate
processing of samples, giving us the ability to
inform you sooner if any warning signs are
detected.
An infrared machine, which measures
soot, oxidation, nitration and sulfur products
has been added. An additional viscometer,
which is used to test the viscosity of oil
and to detect chemical breakdown of oil
components, was purchased. Results from
viscosity tests will indicate if it is safe to
extend oil life.
Our computer system was upgraded and
conversion to a web based software system
which provides real time sample results
on- line.
To be more environmentally friendly HOLT
is now recycling cleaning chemicals, reducing
the cost of new chemicals by 75% and making
less of an impact on the environment.
HOLT CAT is currently working to become
a central certified S.O.S. (Scheduled Oil
Sampling) testing facility. By being a central
testing facility we will be able to perform
trend analysis. Trend analysis will reflect
how a machine is operating over a period
of oil samples. So, you can be assured that
your oil is being analyzed the same way every
time. Being able to access Cat’s database of
oil sample results will enable us to see the
history of samples for a particular machine,
regardless of where previous oil samples
were tested.
Our Fluids Lab Supervisor, Mike Rusch
and his friendly staff are always available to
assist and serve our growing list of satisfied
customers.

Scheduled Maintenance
To make life easier, pick up these items
next time you’re at a HOLT Parts Department.
This will ensure that you have maintenance
parts on hand when you need them, saving
valuable time.
• Oils and Fluids
Cat lubricants are formulated specifically
for the different lubricating and cooling
demands of engine and drive train
components.
• Filters
Putting the right lubricants in your
machine is the first step - using proper
filters is the second. Consistently using
quality filters to maintain system cleanliness reduces component wear and lowers
operating costs. Cat filters are designed to
work with Cat fluids in Caterpillar engines
and component systems to provide the
highest levels of cleanliness and performance - protecting your systems and lowering your costs.
Air Filters
Standard Radial Seal Filters
Inadequate air filtration can reduce
horsepower, rob performance, and
ultimately damage your engine. Cat air
filters feature a radial seal design that
provides a better seal and easier servicing
than conventional axial seal air filters.
By preventing dirt, soot, sand, and other
contaminants from entering your system,
Cat Standard Radial Seal Filters help you
lower maintenance costs and service
time.
Ultra High Efficiency Radial Seal Filters
These filters are designed for environments filled with fine dust, soot, or both.
Cat Ultra High Efficiency Radial Seal
Filters can last two to four times longer in
these conditions than standard filters.
Turbine PreCleaners
This air intake system ejects particles,
allowing your air filter to work longer
in environments with high amounts of
airborne debris. Turbine PreCleaners
can provide two to four times more air
filter life in many applications. They also
minimize air filtering service.
Air Filter Service Indicator
This easy-to-read indicator shows the
progression of air restriction caused
by contaminant buildup in your filter
element. The Air Filter Service Indicator
lets you know at a glance the amount of
filter life used - and how much filter life
remains.
Fluid filters
All Filters are not equal
Other filters may be lower prices, but
a closer look reveals why they provide
significantly less protection. With today’s
sophisticated engines, fuel systems and
hydraulic systems, that’s a risk you cannot
afford to take.
Advanced Efficiency Fuel Filters
These filters help prevent fuel system
wear caused by dirt in fuel. Cat Advanced
Efficiency Fuel Filters feature special
media that trap even very fine particles.
Advanced Efficiency Fuel Filters are
essential to maximizing fuel injector and
fuel pump life. They also prevent hard
starting caused by premature injector
wear.

Sealed and Lubricated Tracks ...
an Important Option
to Consider
CAT® Sealed and lubricated tracks (SALT)
virtually eliminates internal pin and bushing
wear. The result is a 50% increase in bushing
life, extended system life and greatly reduced
operating costs. SALT tracks eliminates
internal wear and increases external bushing
life by sealing lubricant into undercarriage
system and keeping abrasives out.
Innovative design
The most important advantage of SALT is
its effect on undercarriage costs. Each track
component is designed to work hard and last
long, therefore maintaining sealability and
lowering costs.
•Sophisticated heat-treat processes ensure
track links have high core hardness,
helping to hold the track section together
and preventing leaks caused by links
“walking off” the pin.
•Cross-drilled pins provide an oil passage
between the pin and the bushing. Carefully
machined oil reservoirs ensure proper oil
distribution.
•Polished bushing ends prevent accelerated
seal lip wear. Stepped bushings, which
are thicker in the middle, provide more
external wear material.
•Rigid seal, which consists of a flexible
load ring, rigid seal ring and thrust ring,
provides better sealability in all underfoot
conditions, reducing the effects of impact
on track joints that cause premature seal
failure.
Advantages that increase life and lower costs
SALT eliminates or significantly delays
internal pin and bushing wear, reducing
maintenance costs and downtime. It also
extends bushing and sprocket life by
eliminating track stretch. Plus, SALT increases
service life and rebuilding of components by
eliminating track snakiness.
In addition, the lubricated sealing system
of SALT makes it possible to perform a wet
bushing turn. This involves disassembling the
track and cleaning and inspecting each track
joint. If you continue to operate in the same
environment, wear life on the second side of
the bushing should equal that of the first side.
System life is maximized, and maintenance
costs are greatly reduced.
Options for every application
SALT is a universal track option, appropriate
in a wide range of underfoot conditions.
However, we offer a variety of track options to
match your operating environment.
Comprehensive service
To help you get the most from your Cat
undercarriage, we provide Custom Track
Service (CTS), a comprehensive program for
managing your undercarriage system. Our
product support sales representatives perform
inspections to project remaining wear life,
schedule maintenance and identify potential
problems. Our specialized undercarriage
shops in San Antonio, Irving and Longview
are equipped with technically advanced tools
for cost-effective, accurate track work. Our
trained professionals, proper equipment and
parts availability will get your machine up and
running quickly and reliably.
Give us a call. We can help you select the track
system that works best in your application.
system cleanliness. Cat Standard Fluid
Filters are manufactured to meet the
most demanding specifications, providing
increased performance and lower costs.
Advanced Efficiency Hydraulic Filters
These filters, deliver a fine filtration that
rids systems of contaminants and keeps
systems clean. They should be used when
hydraulic or drive train systems have been
opened for maintenance or repair, or when
Particle Count indicates an unacceptable
level of small particles in the system.
Advanced Efficiency Filters are standard
on transmission systems in some newer
machines, especially Track-Type Tractors,
where it’s essential to protect electronically
controlled valves.
Product Link
Product Link has the capability to provide
detailed information on individual machines
through remote monitoring. It can also
monitor operations and cycle times to identify
potential operator training opportunities.
The remote monitoring will reduce some
expenses related to diagnostic field service
calls, can facilitate parts distribution and
availability and provides early detection of
potential maintenance problems.

‘Roundtheseparts – General Construction
J.A.C.S.
Partners Up With HOLT CAT
Construction
®
Jeff Allgayer, Chris Staff and David Goll
When Chris Staff and his partner Jeff
Allgayers, owners of J.A.C.S. Construction
need reliable equipment they partner up
with HOLT CAT. “Nothing really compares
to Cat® equipment,” said Chris and added,
“My Caterpillar® Skid Steer Loader can move
almost as much dirt as a regular John Deere®
or Case® Backhoe Loader.”
The name J.A.C.S. derives from Jeff Allgayer
and Chris Staff who founded the company in
2002. “Jeff owns a rental company that rents
Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders and he gave me
one to use until my cash flow was better,” said
Chris. He credits his success to Caterpillar
Equipment. When J.A.C.S. first started
out they rented machines from different
manufacturers, but nothing compared to
Caterpillar. I rented a Case Backhoe Loader
but it broke down the first day on the job,”
said Chris. When asked why he chooses
HOLT CAT as his equipment dealer, Chris
replied that HOLT CAT provided him with
the right equipment and offered him the
service he needed to get his business started.
Jeff and Chris purchased a Caterpillar
Backhoe Loader and a Caterpillar Skid Steer
Loader, which they still use today. “These
machines have 6,000 hours and are running
as good as they did when we first bought
them,” said Chris. J.A.C.S. also owns a D3
dozer and just bought a new Caterpillar
Backhoe Loader. The company started with
land clearing and expanded the business to
excavation, utility work, swimming pools and
today does full site work.
Chris said that Caterpillar equipment gives
J.A.C.S. the competitive edge because Cat
machines helps them complete jobs faster
and more efficiently. Their operators like
the joystick controls and the power of the
CAT engine and Chris added that Caterpillar
machines are very dependable. “We have
not had any major problems with our CAT
equipment, only normal wear and tear.
We had a lot of problems with competitive
equipment hydraulic pumps giving out, lack
of power, poor parts availability and high
freight costs.” Chris stated, “Competitive
machines also do not have the power we
need to move dirt, pull out loose rocks, dig
into the base or just knock down trees. Our
CAT equipment can handle all of those jobs
without losing any power. It looks good when
we pull up to a jobsite with CAT equipment
because the machines always look new. The
decals may fade but the machines always
keep their radiant shine,” said Chris.
Chris noted that Caterpillar equipment
is very easy to service with the skid steer
radiator that flips out and a cab that lifts up,
making it easy to conduct daily maintenance
checks. “When I operated a competitive skid
steer loader my back was hurting at the
end of the day, but now that I have a CAT
Skid Steer Loader I feel energized because
Caterpillar does not have foot throttles, they
have joysticks controls, which makes it less
tiring to operate. If your operators know how
to use the joysticks in the CAT you will have
more productive operators who will get more
done, because they are not tired at the end of
the day,” said Chris.
Chris and Jeff both agree that HOLT CAT
gives them the competitive edge because
they have an equipment dealer that provides
the service they need. “We buy a lot of small
equipment from HOLT, but we never get
treated like the “small guys” and David Goll,
our Account Sales Representative in Austin,
is always here to assist us with our equipment
needs. He is very knowledgeable and treats us
with the utmost respect,” said Jeff Allgayer.
“HOLT’s service department delivers on its
promises. If a machine breaks down, I can
count on HOLT’s Field Service Technicians
to come out to the job site and service my
machines. HOLT CAT also has an excellent

HOLT Rental Services
Keeps us Running
Terry Mausbach, Superintendent-Course Crafters and Chase McKinney, HOLT Rental Services Sales Rep, North Dallas.
When Course Crafters, Inc. is renovating a
golf course in Texas and needs quality rental
machines, they look to HOLT Rental Services.
Course Crafters, Inc. was established in
1992 by Bob Pinson and is headquartered
in Gainesville, Georgia. The company
specializes in golf course renovation and
construction projects that span from Alabama,
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland,
Mississippi, North and South Carolina to
Oklahoma, Ohio, New York, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia.
“HOLT Rental Services keeps us running,”
says Terry Mausbach, Course Crafters
Superintendent. Terry has been employed
with Course Crafters for six years and is in
charge of the total golf course renovation
in the Dallas/Fort Worth area where the
project began in September 2008. To prepare
for course renovations, the club began to
eliminate all grass surfaces, including the
tee boxes, fairways, roughs and greens. In
addition, all sand from the bunkers had to
be removed.
The golf club course renovation is a major
project that requires 8,700 trucks to bring
in new materials for the course rebuild and
concrete for the six miles of cart paths. The
entire golf courses 168 acres, except the
greens, which will be seeded in a custom
process, will be sod. “When we started the
projects we kept ecological concerns in mind
4 Reasons
Why Cat Compact Track
Loaders are Better than
Bobcat Track Loaders
to create a more eco-friendly golf course,”
says Terry. The old grass was buried to create
new elevations for tee boxes; the old paths
have been crushed and compacted in borrow
pits to create new berms along the fairways.
All the trees have been tagged and plotted on
an overview plan so that we can relocate them
instead of removing them. Course Crafters
will also install a new drainage and irrigation
system at the course, which is scheduled for
completion in June 2009.
To get the job done, Terry and his crew
need reliable rental equipment and that is
the reason they call HOLT Rental Services.
Terry views HOLT Rental Services as superior
compared to other national rental companies
because HOLT offers superior service and
has the latest models in their rental fleet.
The renovation of the golf course is
currently ahead of schedule and Terry credits
HOLT Rental Services and Course Crafters
suppliers for being ahead of schedule. Even
though Terry does not foresee problems with
his rental equipment, he says if anything
should occur, he knows that HOLT will be
there to resolve the issue fast so that he can
complete the job on time. “Service is what
sets HOLT Rental Services apart from its
competition,” says Terry.

5. Cat suspension allows undercarriage movement in up/down direction.
6. Bobcat suspension allows ONLY roller movement in up/down
direction. The idlers are not suspended, resulting in a rough ride.
7. Cat torsion axles mounted within machine frame – material packing
does not hamper effectiveness.
8. Bobcat leaf springs offer limited suspension travel and could be prone
to material packing – reducing effectiveness.
9. ALL other CTL manufacturers offer ONLY rigidly mounted
undercarriage.

10% Longer Track
on Ground
Unproven suspension
system
1. Longer track (69.9 inches) provides higher flotation, traction, lower
ground pressure and longer track life.
2. A longer track means fewer ‘engaged cycles’ between the sprocket
and the bars in the track which could result in longer track life.
1. The standard 2-speed functionality supplies high end speed (up to 8.5
mph) for greater productivity compared to 6.6 mph on Bobcat CTL’s.

See For Yourself
Two-Speed Drive
System is standard on all
models
Bobcat offers only
One‑Speed
2. John Deere, Komatsu, Takeucki, Gehl and Mustang offer some form
of two-speed, which are slower than Cat’s CTL’s.
3. One-speed drive system compromises design where you have to
choose between low speed/high torque or high speed/low torque.
4. Slower speed also affects productivity and fuel efficiency in load and
carry application.

Fast response to customer needs is a HOLT CAT®
tradition, and now that tradition has carried over to
the new HOLT Crane & Equipment.
Bar Constructors, Inc., a specialized construction
company owned by the Arrambide family – brothers
Sam, Joe, Michael and Sid and Sid’s wife Marlene
-- has taken delivery of the first Link-Belt crane
provided by HOLT Crane & Equipment just six
weeks after HOLT became a Link-Belt dealer on
July 1.
“Cost was not the reason we went with HOLT,”
says Sid Arrambide. “It was because of HOLT’s
reputation for service and parts availability.”
This first unit was sold on Aug. 11, then delivered
in seven pieces on Aug. 14 and assembled on the
job site at the City of Dallas East Side Wastewater
Treatment Plant by HOLT trained mechanics with the
assistance of Mark Fett, Link-Belt representative.
The new unit is a 248 Hylab5, 200-ton lattice
boom crawler crane. It was used at the plant for
installation of new pump station equipment. Bar
Constructors is a longtime user of Link-Belt cranes
and also Caterpillar earthmoving equipment. The
company specializes in construction and service
work for wastewater treatment plants and pipelines.
In addition to crane sales, HOLT Crane &
Equipment will also provide product support for
the cranes in the form of parts and service from

Why Should You Do Business
With A Company Like
HOLT CAT?
BECAUSE HOLT REALIZES THAT NOT ALL CONTRACTORS ARE ALIKE!
Let’s Partner Up!
Customers who own and operate smaller machines
like skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, small track-type
tractors, small wheel loader and mini-excavators have
many of the same needs as customers who own large
dozers, motor graders and off-highway trucks, but they
also have needs that are unique to their business. They
may only have one or two machines so any downtime can
mean zero production and zero revenue.
HOLT CAT knows that all contractors are not the
same so we’ve made changes at our North Dallas store to
focus on serving the needs of contractors that expect fast,
reliable repairs for their smaller machines, sometimes
while they wait.
We are concentrating on smaller machines at our
North Dallas store, so if you have backhoe loaders, small
track-type tractors, small wheel loader, skid steer loader
or other compact machine that needs minor repairs, is
due for an oil change, scheduled interval maintenance
service or a factory update bring it by our dedicated
Express Service Bay, and we’ll get right to it. We are
also working on refining parts operations and financing
process that directly effect contractors with smaller
machines. While these changes are still in the works, we
have not forgotten that our goal is to be more than just
your equipment dealer; we want to be your partner, so
let’s partner up.

North Dallas store
