Has anyone noticed the 308 having a short crowd? Demoing our new one today, I noticed the bucket wont come any closer than about 4 feet from the blade? The stick has another pin hole for the cyl. The stick seems to almost barely come over center set up this way from Cat? Just seems weird? All of the smaller rigs with blades I have run, you can almost contact the blade with the bucket. This one isnt even close?

Yup unfortunately it’s the way they are. As you mentioned you can move it to the “transport” position and get closer but still not close enough for what guys/girls like and are used to

Mine is that way because it has a swing boom. The boom pivot is at the front of the cab not the middle of the machine like most excavators.
