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..
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
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*
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
Well imma have to respectfully disagree whit ya on that one. At least for our area a 7-10 ton machine is the best one for clearing. We have a lot of small 1-2 acre lots and septic and building pad work. And a thumb is the most versatile option on an excavator. It is a few extra grease points and hoses but the benefit far out ways the negative. However the cat thumb is the least durable design I think I’ve ever seen.
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.
Great machine
Just the fact you said any comments good or bad are welcome, shows your confidence. You sir have my subscription!

I originally looked at a 310 but decided being able to move the 307 on a gooseneck would suit us a little better

I have been told to watch getting big rocks between the tracks and under the cab when moving or swinging good 👍🏻 🍀
🎉 congratulations
Very nice looking machine.
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
Nice machine
You hauling that with a srw? That’s full out! Lol
Hey man. Never thought I’d see you here. Love the videos. And yea I am. I know it’s a good bit but the truck handles it great.
I had the same issue with my 301.8 next gen . Salesman said they had 400 thumbs on back order. It took 6 months

We just don’t have many dealers outside of the big manufacturers that are easy to get to.
I mint good luck
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 did. Really wanted a fixed boom machine. Less grease points and wear and has better swing power for clearing
Nice! What part of GA are you in? Looked like you were going through Locust Grove there for a minute.
We were going through locust grove. It was up at the rental store when I picked it up. We’re about and 40 minutes south in Forsyth
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
It really depends on your area, what brand it is and size. For this size machine they can be any where from 80-150k new
Was that a regular pickup pulling this machine?
It was an f350
Be careful
how much price the machine. as a usd.
Nice rig, about a 308 without the swing boom.
On the ID tag, does it say that it is assembled in USA?
No sir. It’s assembled over seas. I’m fairly certain it’s from Japan
China. Wish it was made in Japan . Just bought one . Very nice machine though
@@bjwatson9000 right, Japanese stuff is g2g.
@@bjwatson9000 china??!??! No way, ugh. Thanks for sharing.
How you liking the cat 307.5 now that you had it for two months?
I’m loving it. Just did an update video on it at 200 hours
Awesome! I’ll check it out!
How much difference in price between the 307.5 and 310?
About 40k difference set up the same way.
I just got mine 2 weeks ago, what are you using to tow it?
An f250 with air bags in the rear with a 24000lb gooseneck trailer
@@Briceturner1 sweet, going to put a hammer on mine end of this week
Great machine for servicing electric over hydraulic for controls suck the big one🤢🇨🇦
