I'm looking to buy new with cab, 18/24/36 bucket, hydraulic thumb, and a 7ton tag trailer.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I gave $29k for my 304C CR with 2100 hours. one 30" bucket included. $500 for a used 12" bucket. Two hoses I made myself, two service calls from CAT for shim on vertical swing pin and hour meter fail for about $1400. Hydraulic thumb from CAT for $2100 that I installed myself.

Welcome to the Forums JamesH!:drinkup

I priced a similar setup through Thompson last year and it was in the low $70K range. Thompson has package deals on CTL's, SSL's and mini-ex's that includes a trailer, attachments and other stuff.
