There's not much I can't do with the 305.5E2 CR, but I like the power tlit blade, nice addition, would be nice to have 500 mm grousers, we down a lot soft soil work here the Waikato, New Zealand, just have to use the 308 too pull it out from time to time 😊

Nice machine. Very interested, thanks 👍

without a thumb don't need it, and you're gonna be all day filling that truck with that bucket mate

Does cat still make their dozer arms like crap, out of hollow tubing? Instead of solid iron like most other brands.
Do you have any idea what it's like to level yourself up on a hillside with the dozer blade to have it break off?
It's happened on jobs that I've been on.

I want one to build a cottage with my dad and a rotobec grapple for the retaining wall that’s my dream setup right there and a tracked loader for grading our the surface cause it’s in the mountains on a slope

Plis cat bring this excavator too indonesia

[shaunmoore]

Not zero turn but I’ll trade that for its reported greater lifting capacity for boulder work for my business.

That’s great and all. I think Cat is way too too heavy. I used a rental on a large lot clearing job I did, I’m not impressed. Bobcat, Yanmar, or Takeuchi seem to fair better. Cat is a big name I want to like. We have large rock quarries where I live, so Cat hardly recognizes I exist.

i Hate how this machine takes def fluid!!! and the bobcats e63 and bobcat e85 does not.

[IndependenceIron]

The cowlings and panels look cheaply designed. Looks like the old 330X bobcats from the early 2000s.

Why don’t you tell people you can’t get anything but strait blade till next April. Thanks for wasting my time!

I like the new machines, but why do they all get more radius. And then they put a stupid counterweight that sticks out too far. Bad designing. They seem to be going in the wrong direction with the ass on their minis. Good power but cant do what the older models did. Now they rub on stuff. If another manufacturer makes same model with 0 tail swing, so should cat. If they want my money they need to cut the fat. Cat needs operators designing I guess.
