The Cat mini excavator line now runs from the 300.9 to the 310 size machines all with a similar look and feel to make training and operation a breeze.
The 304 has moved from a compact radius (zero-tail) to a reduced-radius design with 14" of overhang for improved stability. The machine is reduced to 67-inches wide to fit in tighter places than the 304E2. Attachments are also common from the prior model.
The 305 CR is a true 5-ton machine with 9% more breakout force and more than 5-inches deeper dig depth. It has 3 undercarriage options including rubber belt, steel track, or rubber pads. The steel track adds weight to the machine for improved performance as does the optional extra counterweight which is ideal for heavy attachments, like Cat's TRS6 tiltrotator.
