Hey All,
I have a friend looking at purchasing a Cat EL240B series hoe. Serial number is: 5WG00471 It has new rails and sprockets, Quick change with 36" and 24" bucket 8800 hours and says it is dry and tight in the ad. Not much info I can find on it here on the forum. Had one comment that said this:
Can any of you give some feedback on this machine? Planned use is around the farm, digging out stumps, building roads, perhaps 800-1000 hours of use over a couple years then sell. I'm a dozer and loader guy and don't get to work in the hoes very often. It seems big to me, but I'll defer to you experts!

The EL series I belive were just about all Cat. They were very bad with pumps blowing up and putting debris through the whole system. When Cat decided to get rid of the 200 series, many people in this area bought new ones crazy.
