Here's a picture of my Dad's 303C CR while working on a clearing project. I'm very impressed with the little bugger, it has tons of power for it's size.

2009 335 with thumb. I don't use it very much except for loading my trailers and planting trees and digging up stumps and boulders and loading metal for recycling. I am wanting to find more to do with it. I also run a Bobcat s750 with a mulcher and lots of other attachments as well as a Toolcat. I bought the excavator to work in tough locations and for the reach but bought it right before the recession and that type of work slowed down for me.

Have had a couple of good demolition jobs and I seem to like that type of work. I'm still learning and getting proficient and finding more and more that this thing can do. I got a chance to sit in an M series Bobcat excavator and was impressed with the improvements in the cab. I'm already comfortable in the 335 and can really picture myself in a E50. :)

300.9D. Tiny and absolutely ridiculous (I've had a lot of people laugh at me).
Sometimes I wish we were running a more stable machine, but it does its job reasonably well.

That's the machine I'm interested in, do you have any more pics of how to secure that model? I spoke to the cat dealer and they told me the blade and the front bucket linkage. Does the unit have a front and rear frame member to bind to?

Ran the PC40 for 6 years, a great machine for intricate digging. Added a smaller Yanmar VIO20 to the mix to get to those smaller jobs. Impressive strength for that small package. Can't beat the zero turn capabilities especially around trees.

Traded the 121 in for a new, pre-emission 057 last week. Even dug up a little girl!

This F150 skid off the road trying to make the turn a few miles from the house. I went and got the 057 and lifted/carried the front of the truck so the wrecker wouldn't tear it up dragging it back, then swung the front end over and set it on the road. After the wrecker left we pulled his bumper back (nearly) straight and we were on our way.

Lumberjack,
I sat in one of them there 057's at Marshall during their inventory reduction auction a month or so ago. As much as I want it, I just don't have the work for it right now. I humbly admit that I'm quite jealous. Did they ship all the way out to you?
Best of luck with it!

Yep, shipped it straight to my house for about what the fuel alone would have cost me.

I don't have a plethora of work for it currently, but it was 10k cheaper than local so I figured why not?

The power increase is nice, my main complaint is the thumb has no hook to it so it doesn't grab logs well. I'll be fixing that!
