385's Rule
The pics are great .The 385 that I run has outperformed the Komatsu 800 and the JD 850 on all fronts.It is a much more balanced and stable machine ,doing everything from bulk bench loading to 36' to 42' cuts for sanitary interceptors .Even with the reach boom arrangement it will still outdig and outlift the competition.We had struggled pulling stacked twin 24'x 12' boxes w/ the 800 and did not attempt it with the 850.The 385 handled it with ease and more control.Gotta love them Cat's.
