    Looks like the 330/336 HDHW that was discontinued this year? Is it being brought back now?

    the 330D/336D were replaced with the 336E. I think they are trying to compete with the PC400 class in China. Who knows it may make its way to the US. Apparently the 345D is 12,000lbs lighter than the 349E. They could possibly be trying to fill the gap between the 336E and 349E. my 2 cents

    Looks good. I like the high walker myself. I would love one, if they keep the weight under 88,000 lbs full dress so I can haul it legal in CA. Specs like that and it would replace the 345/350 size for a lot of jobs here due to the ease of moving.

    its a 330d hdhw with a new badge, a hitachi 350 would be way beeter buy and cost a good 100k less too!
