I'm looking to add a 320 sized excavator to work next to my 349. I found a 2013 320 el with a coupler and thumb.. 700 hours and mint condition in the $160k range. Is this a good deal or should I look at another brand? New or slightly used is what I'm looking for.
Any opinions at all? Thanks
I'm not that familiar with Cat but a good long browse through RB auctions and machinery trader should let you know if your price is good.
3 years ago when I was pricing a new 320EL the out the door price was just over $200K.
That's some great feedback! Much appreciated. I haven't ran any of the newer 200's lately other than a cat 323 F. Is cat a good choice in this class? Speed is very important to me.
I think Cat is a good choice but I am biased..
The C6.6 engine, is that a Perkapillar, Catabishi, or what?
The 6.4 in my 321DL is a Catabishi. I've had good luck with the Catabishi engines.
I know the motor in the 323 F is a Perkins but I'm not sure about the 320 F. I have a friend that says the Deere 210 g machines are a little bit quicker than the Cat. Has anyone ran the newer 210 Deere?
Found it, Perkins...
We have a 320el here at the landfill its a tier3 engine has been really good so far I have never had a problem with it yet other then the boom lights dont work for some reason it has about 4000 hrs on it so far and came out of a Cat rental fleet . It has good travel speed . only down fall we have is it is a little small to load the a40d and a40 we have unless you can get it up on a cut to give you some height,but we only use it for that when the 330cl is down
