      The fact that you have a Friend that sells the CAT. That makes a huge difference. My friend RENT a size like that and a Larger size CAT for stump removal on his Tree farm. He had a Leak on the weekend. CAT bent over backwards to get a service truck to his site. I got to run the big one( can't remember the number) sorry. But it took those stumps out with one pass. We made burn Piles alone the tree stump line. Like you say about productivity. CAT got the job done.

      You mentioned in your video that you could use buckets from a 420 backhoe. The 310 has 60mm pins. The 420 has one 45mm and one 50mm. Will the Cat pin grabber attach to those pins without any slop? Thanks for the info.

    I watched your videos several times when trying to decide what machine to get. Kind of decided on a CAT-309 so as to run a mulcher. Then, I couldn't get a 309 set up like I wanted without ordering one, but I could get a 310. Bought the 310 and sure am glad I did! No flow issues running a brush cutter or mulcher and the extra reach is nice to have. People are apprehensive of the Electronic controls, but I have to say it makes the machine so easy to use & configure, it's well worth it. Great video!

    • @IManOPERATOR
      @IManOPERATOR  6 місяців тому +1

      Bad ass! So happy to hear that! Ya the 310 for not having a secondary pump is still extremely capable for high flow use it’s an incredible machine, you’ll be happy to if you ran a 309 with the same head and the 310 the swing power is unmatched.
      Same here I love the electric pilot controls, you can still feel what you’re doing though the machine.

    I'm a cat guy always have worked for guys that own and now own my own caterpillar machines. The c's and d model hoes set the bar high and I still own a c model 308 fixed boom like ur 310. By way that is called off set boom or articulating boom or fixed boom. My 315c which has made me big$ and ben one the best machines I'll probably ever own will push a 54" bucket that can load a 10wheeler out in few minutes. Over all the old ones are tuff as shit very very solid platform. . I love my older cat hoes. Wen they released the e's and F' model hoes it was a big let down. I didn't like there feel more than anything they are heavy feeling and slow with low draw bar pull and very small uncomfortable cab. . With that said sure caterpillar ears are burning. So I have ben in a 309 next Gen and was impressed once again with there engineering and innovation. I'm going to b purchasing a new hoe in next year and 310 is in my sights. So thank u for ur info. . I have the windows tinted on-all my machines 5% on side windows except 30% on front glass. Looks like Ur in wooded shady area so b ready for mirror like reflection in shady environments with window tint. Can fuck with ur depth perception sum times bad and at night ur opened up cuz u cant c shit i have light bars that help. But if u know ur machine it's doable and for out in the full sun tinted windows is a must pluss know one can c u so the privacy is awesome. . Thanks for ur video. Amazing all the technology now they applied to New machines. Wen I first started we dug out hole subdivision with open cab 580 e's. Jumping ditch to stab every connection main line and all. Good luck with ur new machine bro.

      Ya this is the first official CaT for me to own. And it’s been nothing but perfect love this machine been a huge improvement I. Everything I do, and if you get in a 310 and compare to the 309 you’re going to really see how much more power it has over lifting and rotating the house.
      The tint does get to me at times that why I definitely went lighter on the front window. Moment you get that dirt on the window with the sun on it can’t see a dang thing lol

    I'm in the market for a 20k machine myself and have had a 308 and a 307.5 on demo for a couple weeks out in New England. Just a side note....ive been operating since I was a kid and was disappointed in some of the breakout of the 308 and lack of stability as I want the swing boom for the work I do. If you push the throttle dial down it will shut off the eco mode and give it some more power....which actually made a difference to me. Unfortunately I didn't know this til the last day of my demo! Ps. I'm going with the 309 to have the swing boom and the larger bottom you have.

    I have not operated Steel tracks with rubber pads on blacktop or concrete driveways, will you elaborate the pros and cons over rubber tracks?
    I really want the steel and rubber to produce the extra weight down low but I am going to definitely be operating on blacktops and concrete probably 50/50 versus being just on top of dirt. The salesman said I'm better off with rubber tracks because steel with pads can still cause damage to blacktop and concrete but I would rather take an operator's word for it than his.
    Also throw some advice in there about the noise difference because I know when I operate only steel tracks it's ridiculously squeaky and very noisy over rubber.
    Thanks for your info!

    • @IManOPERATOR
      @IManOPERATOR  2 роки тому +1

      Soooo I’ll start off with rubber pads and rubber tracks all mark the same one doesn’t do more damage than the other u less your going over curbs the steel tracks will damage for sure.
      Yes steel make a bit more noise while tracking just the clanking of the chain however with steel it’s much cheaper to replace pads over a whole new rubber track.
      However the rubber track has more surface area and make its easier to steer on concrete or asphalt the pads will grip more and does bind up with sharp turns.

      I'm 56 and grew up with old school machines, Drott Excavators, Cat 200 series Excavators, Cat 977L crawler loaders and Dynahoe Backhoes. All the bells and whistles on these new machines I feel are totally unnecessary. Nice,? Maybe? But I still think way over played out. I think the stick steer is stupid personally, Cat would have been better off putting travel control pedals where the footrests are. One pedal forward, one reverse pedal and eliminate more electronics to go wrong. Modes, complete joke as is auto idle. The heat and A/C systems are great as is the radios. Fantastic. The new seats are great too.
