Similar But Very Different: Cat Expert Explains the Four 315 and 317 Excavator Models | The Dirt #24

I have run a 316 f for the last 2 years it has a longer stick , thumb, and quick coupler. It is very tippy. I'm glad to hear that Cat is addressing this problem

I’m glad to hear this topic of machinery pricing, and would appreciate companies advertising pricing, because as an entry level prospector, I like to know where the starting point is, and a price guide in maintaining these machines. It helps me figure a spend range, I won’t operate as a civil works company, and would expect to spend on my uses, versus hiring equipment.

Really enjoyed your the break down of the new gen Cat, learnt a lot more than from my dealer, or maybe I wasn't listening when he was talking to me! Will be putting all that technology to full use on at the Central Interceptor in New Zealand! We have a new 315 just arrived

Remember folks, when a manufacturer talks about how much money you're saving in fuel and maintainence is crap talk to hid the fack the new machibe us way more expensive. You pay 50k more for a newerr 317 and save 15k in maintenance and fuel savings, in otherwords you oaid 50k to save 15k. You dont save anything anymore as the expensive price increases are always way higher . Not 1 dollar is ever saved. You always pay more for new upgraded equipment.

They still look slow and it doesn't help that they showcase them with green operators.

[@digstowndiesel]

Lol, clearly you haven’t had a chance to actually run one of these because if you did you would know that’s not the case. GC aren’t anything special but the next gens are as fast as can be.

[@ronniewilliz153]

We have 2 336f cats an one is the new next gen cat an it's very smooth an fast but if you have a good enough operator he's just as fast an the next gen with the same experience operator
