Dont buy a 312! Go for Hitachi Out performs everything on the market!

Hitachi....:lmao
How many different manufacturers come together to make those melting pot machines?

Better yet.....doesn't Hitachi make televisions too, and sawzalls?
How about a crock pot for the missus??:drinkup

i run a 07 cat 312 done 3000 hours no problems.
have been told early 312c engines can give problems.
volvo undercarriage wears out quicker than moast.
the cat is better ,but the volvo is a good second.
i would not put a hitachi up against either of them
