these may be stupid questions making me sound like the amateur that i am but...
what do the numbers and letters on the side of excavators mean?
for example cat 345LC
it's fairly obvious that they are model numbers representing the progression of smaller machines to larger but...
do these numbers tell an onlooker anything specific about the machine such as wieght or capacity?
and mini excavators have numbers that contradict larger machines like bobcats 303 mini is much smaller that a deere 225
are mini excavators represented by smaller units of measurement?
and finally where is the cutoff between "mini" and a "full size" excavators in terms of wieght and capacity?
thats quite a list and i hope someone can shed some light... without making me feel stupid!!!
awsome fourm, i'm hooked!!
thanks guys!!
