Great machine

Still have the machine?

Well.. since he solicited comments, the guy seems to be very happy with his equipment... I would say like a little kid who got his brand new Tonka toy for Christmas.... I'm happy for the guy congrats

Great machine for servicing electric over hydraulic for controls suck the big one🤢🇨🇦

🎉 congratulations

Nice machine

How has the 307.5 been with you having it this long looking at a new one at CAT

how much price the machine. as a usd.

Diesel should know Cat coupler specs and that bucket should have been manufactured to fit your Cat machine/coupler. That’s the primary requirement for the bucket manufacturing process (the Fit) if they miss that, then ;&@:-/“&??????????

Solsebee’s builds the best thumbs/buckets available. Cat offers a front guard & top guard for protection of your machine/person.

Be careful

I had the same issue with my 301.8 next gen . Salesman said they had 400 thumbs on back order. It took 6 months

Was that a regular pickup pulling this machine?

Glad to see you post another video. Do you like the rotary mulcher or the drum type mulcher better?

Just the fact you said any comments good or bad are welcome, shows your confidence. You sir have my subscription!

Work rental for cat, let her warm up, for head and hydraulicsake.. They rarely have problems unless it rolls. It won't, solid base but take care of the hydraulic system if you use a hammer often. Could you space the thumb to align it for the tooth it contacts? Unless it's on a QC and is throwing off geometry to the bucket. Edit words*

worked 38 years as a cat dealer field man those track hoes have changed a whole bunch and for the better that thumb is golden, good luck young man

I would be stoked to get one for my 210 komatsu. Thanks for sharing your videos and be safe.

You have been having the same problem I have with a pond job we are doing. I'm sick of the rain.

Just ordered a 307.5, I should have it by Feb. As far as the comment on machine size and the thumb. I went back and forth between a 13tonn vs a mini and went with the 307.5. I do a lot of landscaping, foundations and I do lot clearing on a small scale (1 - 2 acres) and while a bigger machine would be great for clearing they just aren't practical for the rest of what I need it for. I couldn't do my work without a thumb, it would be like cutting off an arm. Retaining walls, moving the cleared wood, stacking and burning bush it's a must have. Like the videos and thanks for taking the time to post.

I think you can always have CAT (or you can) turn the relief pressure down on the thumb so it doesn't close as hard...... though it won't be as strong then either. You've probably already gotten used to it now and don't need to change it. Can the thumb reach the cab? It looked like it got pretty close a few times! Enjoyed the video, the rambling is great when you are showing the work your doing.

Been waiting 4 months for the thumb for my new CAT 302, and still no idea when it will come in... anyways, enjoy the 307.5

Nice rig, about a 308 without the swing boom. On the ID tag, does it say that it is assembled in USA?

I would not own a excavator without a thumb on it, best add on you can do if your working in the woods and clearing. Nice videos.

There great for small jobs but there not land clearing friendly ,thumb in my opinion are just a extra rattle an hose problem , dig with it don't clear trees they get beat up pretty fast

can happen to evryone but never nice to have. i had glass on the door that broke but the glass replacement isn’t the problem the problem is all the pieces of glass in your cab😅😂

the only next gen cat i use is a 323 next gen so when u said plenty of room i tought this cab looks small 😂. but looks like a nice machine

How you liking the cat 307.5 now that you had it for two months?

You hauling that with a srw? That’s full out! Lol

I mint good luck

I have been told to watch getting big rocks between the tracks and under the cab when moving or swinging good 👍🏻 🍀

How much difference in price between the 307.5 and 310?

Just curious guys . What’s the price for this machine and what kind of payment would you guess. I’m needing to buy a Excavator soon. Thanks

Did that on a cat 963 happens so quick at a blink of a eye.

Very nice looking machine.

I'd love to buy one but Sanys are a little more within my budget. I'm looking a a 95c 20,000 pound machine. Brand new with 5 year warranty it's 85k. But I'd die to have a cat.

Nice! What part of GA are you in? Looked like you were going through Locust Grove there for a minute.

Nice choice buddy. I've had my 310 for almost a year and can't be happier with it so far... also relieved my 306 last week... very nice machines!! Kubota isn't any close to cat for sure.. little cheaper, yes, but I'd rather pay some more and get the best. Mine both came with the big touch screen... (and I like to see the camera on all the time , which they have). Hope it serves you long years with no issues..

I have the same machine and thumb. Love the machine hate the thumb it’s garbage. I really want to upgrade it. I have bent mine a couple times and it’s bent again as I write this. Nice videos.

Good luck on your channel. 👍

Man those are nice but did you ever consider the 309 with it’s on auxiliary hydraulic pump for a Mulcher ? I love mine you can’t beat them.

I just got mine 2 weeks ago, what are you using to tow it?

im looking at a 309 which is basically this machine with a bigger engine and a heavier under carriage. I need to clear 4 acres and possibly another 20 in the spring and was thinking this machine could more than handle it. What are you thoughts so far on this especially for clearing?

Sorry about the sniffing y’all. Allergies are killing me
