The new 306 CR is Caterpillar's first 6-ton excavator. We're following up our initial coverage of this machine with discussion of more features including stick-steer, the XTC tool carrier configuration and a tour of the in-cab display.

Brought mine home yesterday. Pulled with a srw 3500. Pulled great. Went across feed store scales, 27,560 combined vehicle weight.

Greg you’re always on point! 👍

I tow my 306 with my 7x14 20k dump trailer, i made a support for the bucket to rest on the front right side and rest the thumb on it and chained to the sidewall, it tows it perfectly.

@tombrown03 Год назад

Certainly a big advantage I see with this vs 308. Pretty dang close in capability but still able to tow it on a 10t trailer, instead of needing to step up to a 12t+

Thanks

@littlefinkle7757 4 года назад

Can't wait to demo one. The 305.5 was just a tad on the weak side. I hope the 306 is my answer.

@andrewwylie2187 3 года назад

Pretty handy machine l think, good size PAT blade that’s pretty handy, as long as they have upped the track drive motors, you can not get the drive motor to climb enough with out assistances, all this comes down to price in the end.

@pete5044 4 года назад

I’ve been operating for a long time and I wonder how useful the stick steer would actually be

@nolanbarbisan9834 4 года назад

its great when using the blade

@TF856 3 года назад

I would absolutely love it! Since I still have trouble with the panels after all these years. It would be just like driving a joystick control skid steer loader or John Deere dozer. Cat tried stick steer years ago on one of the bigger excavators with the stick coming up from the floor where the pedals would have been.

@jamesslaton247 3 года назад

It’s the best thing they’ve done. I’d rank it equal with a hydraulic thumb on useful.

@troymeredith9528 4 года назад

So can you put forks on tool carrier ,with bucket attachment .

@donalddoty2543 2 года назад

Looks like a wonderful machine, but I sure have questions about the tracks on it. It doesn't look like they have added any bottom rollers. Just looks to light for carrying the weight, turning. That is no way built like a skid steer. I would run those tracks off or wear them out is a short time. Sure looks like a good idea, but put a skid steer undercarriage on it.

@dirtdiggur 4 года назад

Why would want to get rid of the pedals??? Multi tasking is your benefit with an excavator. Tracking while doing stuff is a must.

@nolanbarbisan9834 4 года назад

its a game changer with the blade

@TF856 3 года назад

I thought you had the option of using the joystick or the pedals when tracking.

@johngreer8101 3 года назад

nice machine

@terrellscaife2411 4 года назад

Impressive stuff I wonder how many attachments can you get with this mini excavator

@jaimebanaag9649 4 года назад

it saw good to operate

@troymeredith9528 4 года назад

How many times has every one been to job site and there is a pallet of bricks or blocks right where you want to dig!..I am hoping they have made the front window more sturdy in the frame and not easily affected by vibration.locks and frame always fall a art on the 305/5 we have .

@Ramdodge582 4 года назад

5-6 ton machines are popular with non-cdl rigs. truck is 9k, trailer is 3.5k, machine 12k

@tedspillman6429 4 года назад

Tried to demo one in Arkansas in January of 20, my dealer said they didn’t know when they would be available, what’s up with that?

@shawnkaelin6734 4 года назад

Do you have a 6 way blade for it?

@snickrologen 4 года назад

You don’t have to buy a new excavator to get the Bluetooth features mentioned on the Caterpillar- You could just buy a pair of lovely “3M PELTOR WS ALERT XPI” Headsets.

@fulltiltgrading8366 4 года назад

Angle blade isn’t available until April 2020. Tried to buy one today. You can only get straight blade 😩

@asgroupconstruction7839 4 года назад

You need to tell people that it is not a 6 ton machine especially for having to float the machine it weighs 15900lbs it's a 7.9 ton machine

@cyclesingsleep Год назад

...wishthey would expand on all possibilities of the XTC! No other excavator has it, yet they gloss over it...frustrating!

@19772001corey 4 года назад

I don't why cat calling the 306.5 a 6 ton base weight is 13614 almost 7 tons

@allenlong3939 4 года назад

Was considering demoing one but not now.

@adamfpv8294 4 года назад

Allen Long Why not?

@allenlong3939 4 года назад

Not zero swing. Too much garbage. Stick steer really? Too many buttons too much to go wrong and cat has enough problems as it is.

@shellyallen8512 4 года назад

Allen, i like what you said in the reply. Excavators I got 320c and 304c...for me perfect for big and small around lake tahoe and foothills CA etc but guess who wants shut me down/ fines/ letters = CARB. CA Air Resources Board and they don't play, CA up the staff to undercovers and law enforcement-like rights u got me. Anyways all my colleagues around these parts spend $$$ on DEF fixs and unnecessary wiring problems / CDM crap and no mechanics understand all the technology and nothing gets fixed quick u know. I really want a new 306 w/ none of that crap, make it like C or D before and NO DEF especially! Recommendations?? Anybody agree?

@rescueraver 4 года назад

They need to put the XTC on a 3.5 ton machine. I like the idea of stick steer and cruise control.

@kyledailey3457 4 года назад

they stopped making the 304.5xtc 😭 love 306 but please cat,mr worley for christmas i want next gen 304.5 xtc or a 305 that looks like this ! 🤘

@kevinsilcox9781 2 года назад

I wish i was rich i like to have one

@IndependenceIron 4 года назад

I am struggling to see the value in having an excavator every 2-3k lbs. If i am going to the hassle of bigger trailers and more expensive tags/cdl i would jump to an 8 ton, not a 7 ton that is pretending to be a 6 ton. Again why call it a 6 ton when it weighs nearly 16k. All the EH controls make me question the reliability and premium cost.

@Ramdodge582 4 года назад

whats the price?

@theobserver7643 4 года назад

around 60k

@fulltiltgrading8366 4 года назад

Where at? I paid close to 100. Check it out on my channel

@scottmcquarrie7295 3 года назад

You know guys, stick steer is nice but, what would be even better is if Cat stepped back and changed the footrests on both sides of the travel pedals to one side right the right side is forward travel and the left side is reverse travel with a small lever somewhere for steering like the old 200 series machines. It was a much better way to travel these machines anyway.

@TF856 3 года назад

Cat copied stick steer from a company called Mecalac! Mecalac still has a lot of features that nobody else has including caterpillar! Check out the demo videos on RU-vid. Mecalac.
