Yeah it's brand new but a 2008 we got it last year with only 12hrs on it, now has around 150hrs. I was looking at the new E35 with a cab but they needed to get rid of this bad boy I guess because it was a 2008. I picked it up for 23,000 and it listed for like 34 or 35 so I decide I didn't need the the E35 and cab that bad.The only thing I don't like about it is the travel is a little slower than a 331 but I'm not out there drag racing the thing either though
It will mainly be used to locate utilities out in front of my bigger hoes or do taps and run water services or repair work in treatment plants.I'm also looking at getting into doing footers and retaining walls to keep it busy with one of our skid steers an S220 when not doing utility work.

C-Cat,
Looks like you made a good decision and even a better buy in my opinion. I think they are a great mini excavator. I have rented them in the past many times and never had an issue. Plenty of power, easy to transport, they absoletely sip fuel, very quiet, just an all around nice machine to own and operate. It's OK if it moves a tad bit slower than an E35, charge by the hour and play that to your advantage. ha ha............Good luck with it ...... It's a really nice machine.

334's are a real good machine we ran one about 3000hrs and switched it for a 337 both did real well as far as upkeep and maintenance.

No the dealer didn't have one available at the time for this machine but when I get more into clearing and landscaping with it I'll get
one,right now I do a lot of utility locates with it and the thumb tends to get in the way.
