CATERPILLAR CAT 309 CR - Load Sensing 9 ton

hi, sorry if I disturb, I am told that caterpillar and other prestigious brands, are designing excavators configured to be used in agriculture and for similar applications such as forestry forestry work (with the possibility of hooking specific equipment and using the excavator for functions other than traditional digging a multi function basically a multitaskin type Swiss army knife), with a robust front bulldozer blade for marking roads, paths, tracks. could you kindly give me more information thanks

Excavators have been modified into logging shovels since the mid to late 1970s. A logging boom, stick heel rack and grapples were installed and the cabs raised four feet up for loading logging trucks and clearing the decks under the towers. Those evolved into walking out into the clear cuts and bringing the logs back to the landings for load out onto trucks. The carbody was remanufactured into what is known as a high and wide. The centers were raised to have about three feet of ground clearance and the track frames were reinforced in the idler pockets so they wouldn't spread. From that came the road builders that got the raised cabs, all the shovel logger guards, high and wide carbody but they kept the excavator booms. Now days the sky is the limit as to what you can find for forestry machines. I'll have to dig into some of my old photos and post some examples later.

a mio avviso però potrei anche sbagliarmi, poiché credo che ci sia una crisi nel settore edile, i costruttori stanno cercando di modificare le loro macchine per renderle attraenti e interessanti per il settore agricolo e forestale, ma potrei anche sbagliarmi , anche se le macchine originariamente erano macchine movimento terra provengono dal settore agricolo ora con la crisi abbiamo un capovolgimento macchine movimento terra si stanno adattando al settore agricolo sbaglio? secondo te quale migliore macchina movimento terra per il settore agricolo per aiutare gli agricoltori nel loro lavoro escavatori terne, escavatori, pale cingolate qual è la tua opinione a riguardo, come dovresti orientarti? grazie scusa se ti ho annoiato.

In my opinion, however, I could also be wrong, as I believe that there is a crisis in the construction sector, manufacturers are trying to modify their machines to make them attractive and interesting for the agricultural and forestry sector, but I could also be wrong, even if the machines originally were earthmoving machines come from the agricultural sector now with the crisis we have a reversal earthmoving machines are adapting to the agricultural sector am I wrong? in your opinion what better earthmoving machine for the agricultural sector to help farmers in their work excavators backhoe loaders, excavators, crawler loaders what is your opinion about it, how should you orient yourself? thanks sorry if i bored you.

Ag machinery in general isn't tough enough for construction, mining and logging. Going the other way, Ag machinery is so specialized in the US that there is very little cross over possibilities. You will see construction on farms because they need to build roads, dig ditches for drainage or need to deep subsoil land. The tillage, planting and harvesting don't fit within the capabilities of construction.

Logging is something very different from what most people classify and agriculture.

The way I understand the Cat literature the 309 is a 308 with higher hydraulic output excavator for running mowers, mulchers, etc.

Oh, that puts a whole different angle on the original question.

The 309 has 2 hyd pumps, unlike the other Cat minis so it got the hi-flow graphic you see in the pic. But, frankly I'm not sure exactly what he is asking???

With that in mind then I think Mr. trombeur is asking about is the mowers, mulchers and other attachments that can be added to the mini and midi excavators. These aren't exactly agriculture machines. They are not used in anything that produces a crop.

thanks for the clarification, one last question if you allow me and I'm not too fussy, in your opinion which earthmoving machine should have a large or small farm, which one, which could facilitate the farmer's work in the countryside as well as tractor that does almost all the work by hooking the various equipment in the back and pulling them, some say that the telehandler and excavators are essential some backhoes, other crawler bulldozers or loaders, what do you think? it also depends on the nature of the terrain if I work on the flat in the hills on the slopes in the mountains from the nature of the terrain obvious but an indispensable multitaskin machine which in your opinion would be one that the builders have not yet conceived and built and that could greatly facilitate the work of peasants in the countryside? thanks sorry if i'm boring and fussy.

Sounds to me like you are describing a basic farm tractor. Jack of all trades, master of several depending on the attachment.

HUDDIG 1260E?


in my part, the small farmers all have the mini excavator of at least 3 tons, used broken that every time they use it they have to repair it, weld it and restore it, but they all own it, some have the tractor with the front loader others the tracked tractor with the bulldozzer blade open track, other old wheel loaders or tracked other old bulldozers, the farms own used earthmoving machines, backhoes, ranchers telehandlers and mini shovels to clean the stables, depends on the needs of the farm, the mountaineers woodcutters cut wood have other types of machines it depends on the territory on how it is conformed.
