    Just my 2 cents. I demo this cat 310 for a couple of months. It was one of the least favorite machines I have been on. The machine did not like multiple operations at the same time. The electric over hydraulic is slow and the hydraulics on the machine are slow. Cat worked on it a couple times trying to speed it up but the told me at the end I was over operating the machine and it was a economy excavator. I put 300 plus hours on the new machine and felt it like it had 2000 thousand hours after turned it back in. I loved the size of the machine had high hopes for it. I Thought I could not go wrong with cat but these next gen models are nothing like old cat. And it was made in China.

      @@VBELTandSON Since you asked.. I almost bought one, twice. Went to test it out twice and found the machine to be weak.. I could not pull a full bucket out of the ground. For me the worst was the machine could not multifunction at all.. If you had to turn while driving, the machine would bog down. I'm not talking about swinging and curling... and as sedgar11 noted it is MADE IN CHINA !!! I looked at several machines side by side with US made and Chinese made. Everything is different, paint, clear coat, the way the engine bay is done, the pairing of the pump to motor etc... if you have an eye for these things you will see it. The salesman was oblivious... for obvious reasons. I had really high hopes but had to walk away twice. My Takeuchi TB260 multifunction capability is through the roof and it doesn't have all this next gen electronic wizardry, so maybe I'm spoiled... On a separate note, the turntable had Alot of play with 1.4 hours on it. I like CAT, have a 289D, love that machine. But this thing is a fill in the blank...
