http://www.usedvictoria.com/classif...CR-Mini-Excavator--Hydraulic-Breaker_18626480 I like the fact its been looked after and comes with 3 buckets and a breaker. The Bobcat 50 ive been running has had 1700hrs and has been beat, mistreated and poorly serviced its entire life so Im thinking a Cat thats well looked after should be fine at 2600hrs. Ill be going through it very closely. So? what does everyone think? Thanks.
Looking at the pictures, it is clean and not all beat up. That usually translates to a well maintained machine.
It looks to be in good shape. Get the SN and make sure it isn't a grey market machine. If it is, parts could be tough to get.
Cheers lads. Cat minis have some haters on this board..... Some people have different tastes I suppose. Ive always had Hitachi's and have never owned a Cat. Ive always enjoyed running bigger Cat excavators but never pulled a wrench on one. I hope the Cat 304 isnt full of the "cheapness" the Bobcat suffers from. A lot of stuff (Bobcat), especially in the cab looks like it was designed to save the company money and quality was much lower on the priority list.
