[@johnm.evangelis693]

+Garrett Edwards Yes, seems like another well thought out machine from Cat

[@randymaylowski2485]

[@romanpalleschi338]

Heavy machinery are very very useful for a lot of stuff

[@valendigi4150]

The excavator is beatifull

[@marcocoppola6310]

Can you make a video on how to change direction of tracks by putting bucket down and lifting tracks?

[@ontariobushcraft536]

gotta love the handy dandy Siren of death

[@brycec2162]

Thanks

[@bearingthunder4593]

you should try out Doosan equipment they are really good machines

[@forresttainio1187]

Hi, does the 316E have the ability to run in "backhoe control" configuration? Thanks!

[@TR-zn4pw]

when will there be a walk around on the 305.5e?

[@philc9305]

Wish I had the knowledge and money to be an owner operator of one of these. To all the the profession you are lucky

[@tyclark8162]

All my life I've dreamed of excavating n a dump truck n loader. But closest I got was a heavy equipment field mechanic working in all kinds of nasty weather n conditions. I really enjoy your videos, you folks have been blessed very much, but you earned yourselves. I'd work for free just to gain experience to how to be the best excavation operator in the US. But no one will hire a old mechanic with a bad back. Retirement sucks, I'd rather be working still n bring in a pay check again. Got a question though. I have watched n a bunch of videos on mulching n land clearing. What size excavator long stick would you get if you were to mainly operate a Mulcher head n dig stumps ect? Thanks Ty Clark

[@PilotJames3]

I have a Kubota KX040-4 with a 6 way blade. I can do most anything with it that I want. Haul it on a 7 ton trailer with a RAM 5500HD truck

[@tyclark8162]

@@PilotJames3 Thanks J for your kind reply.

[@tylerneulinger6635]

[@seanblakeslee5310]

[@digstowndiesel]

Anyone put a lot of time on one of these? Wondering reliability VS C series?

[@huntersworld943]

Do you rent all the excavators?

[@Seabass466]

Do you have the option to change the controllers to "John Deere" like you have on your bobcat or you just had to adapt?

[@DirtNinja]

+SeaBasstian1 Yes you can change the controls. Watch at the 12:15 mark. I go over it.

[@Spazamazz]

The beeping when you change the attachment is annoying

[@DirtNinja]

+Spazamazz Agreed!

[@MrDyson01]

+Dirt Ninja that excavator is a beast

[@MrDyson01]

+Dirt Ninja what did you say when you got annoyed by the constant beeping?

[@j.l.truckingandlandscaping2097]
