Case SR240
The Case SR240 is a medium-frame radial-lift wheeled skid steer powered by an FPT diesel. It's known for strong digging performance, a roomy cab, and competitive pricing versus the major brands.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The radial lift geometry gives excellent digging and pushing force down low, and operators doing excavation and grading say it out-digs vertical-lift rivals.
- ✓The SR240's 24.2 GPM standard flow is generous for the class, and owners appreciate that it runs many attachments without needing the high-flow upgrade.
- ✓Case cabs are notably roomy, and operators coming from other brands often comment on the extra elbow room and good visibility.
- ✓Case pricing typically undercuts Bobcat and Cat for comparable specs, so value-focused contractors feel they get more machine for the money.
- ✓The FPT engine has a solid reliability reputation and doesn't use a DPF on some configurations, which owners like for reduced regen hassles.
- ✓The 8-way control pattern selection and adjustable EH controls make it flexible for operators used to different machines.
- ✓Case's ride control and comfort features hold up well for long days, and owners praise the low cab noise.
- ✓Two-speed travel comes standard, so ground-to-ground moves on bigger sites are quick and efficient.
Cons
- ✗Case's dealer network is thinner than Bobcat, Cat, or Deere, and owners in some regions report longer waits for parts and service.
- ✗Radial lift compromises dump height and reach at the top, making it awkward to load high-sided trucks versus vertical-lift machines.
- ✗Resale value trails the big three brands, so owners take a bigger hit at trade-in despite the lower purchase price.
- ✗Some owners report electrical and sensor gremlins on the FPT-engined machines that can be frustrating to diagnose.
- ✗The attachment ecosystem and used-implement availability aren't as deep as Bobcat's, limiting options in some markets.
- ✗Fit-and-finish, while improved, is judged by some operators as a notch below Cat and Bobcat refinement.
- ✗For pure truck-loading work the radial geometry is a real limitation, pushing those buyers to the vertical-lift SV340B.
- ✗Dealer support quality varies a lot by region, and owners say the ownership experience hinges heavily on the local dealer.
