Overview of the Cat® Next Generation 304 and 305 CR Mini Excavators

[@cjones1262]

We have a new 2024 304cr. We dont do much residential so the tail.swing isnt an issue for us. Awesome machine.

I own a Nex-Gen 308 and am overall very happy with the improvements in its class vs the E model. I also own an E model 304. I will not be replacing it with a Nex-Gen after finding out it is no longer zero tail swing. This makes no sense at all. It is a 2014 and has never been too big to fit anywhere that the current model will... Lack of zero tail swing will cost you the 4 Tonne market.

They greatly reduced the width of the undercarriage on the 304 for backyard access. Look into it a bit further 🤙

[@wtomay7747]

Exactly and by reducing the width they no longer produce a 4 tonneau zero radius machine. The 303.5 or 303 covers the backyard access situations. My main compliment on the 304 E CR is the power and performance it has in a zero radius machine.

[@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515]

I agree. Additionally with the narrower track base I’d imagine you lose lifting capacity and breakout force over the side.

Tail swing is a deal breaker

does the 304 have tilting cab, video, thanks

[@catconstructiontrade]

Hi Stéphane! The biggest machine that offers a tilt up cab is the Cat 303.5. The Cat 304 offers easy to access routine check points at ground level through the side doors to make maintenance quick and easy.

Does cat make these? Or another company and cat just puts their name on it like a lot of minis?
