gdmason -- looks good, but I (on a Mac) can't see the "Interior" or "Exterior" tabs because I apparently don't have a browser that supports Flash 8.0.0 or that is Java-enabled.

I can, however, see the E-series moodsetter.

Tiger,

thanks for the review. We have done a lot of work in this area and are really trying to provide the right level of detail and information in our product pages. The 360's, images, and videos are something new and we hope that everyone finds it useful to see the machines in action.

If anyone has any suggestions in regards to our website, feel free to reply!

Cheers,
gdmason76

I wanna see the video about the all wheel steer and the new side shift boom and the new one with the same size tires all the way around like the JCB. That is the Cat back hoe I like.

Im with Bigben, why doesnt Cat market 4wheel steer machines in america, their sold in europe and it would being able to switch the countries on the website is a real tease to see what is offered elsewhere.

Bigben,

Great point. We are doing a lot of the same modifications and improvements throughout a lot of our country sites. Fear not, you will be seeing content of that type in your area in the future.

Squizzy brings up a good point. What do you guys think your dealer's website should offer via the web vs. what the manufacturer should offer? I have been curious about this. Any thoughts?

(For some reason, the interface works for me now -- I meant to post this earlier, but didn't get the chance and then forgot.)

434E that is it. I want one bad. That would dominate the market if they would offer it in the states. I love the side shift boom. It sure would help when moving dirt with the front bucket in tight areas. I always have to turn the boom sideways to not hit anything but then the machine is not balanced anymore and becomes side heavy.
