Anyone have any seat time in one of these? Seems they are kind of a niche machine? The old tried and true 300 had long suffered from the model creep and -8s are pretty much 80k pounds, so the 300 became the 360 and now we have a 290. Supposedly, they are a 300 undercarriage, 200 carbody, 240 boom/stick and 300 counterweight. So, pretty much a 240 on steroids. I'm seriously considering purchasing a 2019 and am looking for some opinions on them, most of you know I do mainly land clearing and drainage, so it would be getting challenged on a daily basis. None of that easy, cushy pipeline or basement digging, lol.
I have always been a Case guy, but I can't find a decent 300 (Case or LB) that I'm willing to take a chance on, and the price is right on this one. Plus, I'm hoping that the 300 undercarriage might come in handy on some of the slopes I need to work on.
