Professional Level Tools<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tools in this category will work with over 100+ different manufacturers. Besides reading and clearing fault codes, you can run diagnostic commands just like the dealers can. This includes programming injectors, performing DPF regenerations, calibrating hydraulic system settings, and much more.<\/p>\n For this category, there are only two major players \u2013 TEXA and Cojali. Both products have very comparable coverage, and offer the following features: Diesel Laptops is the largest seller in the world for both brands, and we got there by providing extra products and services that you won\u2019t find anywhere else: In comparing TEXA and Cojali, it usually comes down to which interface your more comfortable learning and the software licenses. TEXA offers one package that contains everything for off-highway, while Cojali breaks theirs down into Agriculture, Construction, and Material Handling Equipment. The Cojali option may be more expensive or less expensive based on your needs.<\/p>\n Basic Level Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n Tools in this category often leave you more frustrated than fulfilled, but we are including them in this review. The main reason is that these tools are not inexpensive, and they often lack the functionality and support users are looking for.<\/p>\n For example, lets look at the CanDo OHV Pro. CanDo moved all their off-highway coverage from their other products into a stand-alone tool. The problem comes down to coverage and functionality. The OHV Pro, as of this blog post, only comes with 7 cables. We know from experience that over 60 are available in the market. However, it does have the cables for the most common equipment such as Cat<\/a>, John Deere<\/a>, Volvo<\/a>, JCB<\/a> Case-New Holland<\/a>, Hitachi, and Liebherr.<\/p>\n The other concern is that on import tools they often lack in the functionality. Don\u2019t expect to buy this tool and have great coverage. If you go this route, we highly recommend being able to test on equipment first with it or make sure you have a window of time to return it back if it doesn\u2019t meet your needs.<\/p>\n Entry Level Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n There do exist several options for connecting to off-highway equipment through some entry level tools.<\/p>\n Diesel Explorer is our free PC-based software. It will read fault codes and some live on equipment that uses standard protocols and has either a 9-pin or OBDII cable. For example, it works great reading fault codes on John Deere equipment.<\/p>\n
