Hi guys!

When I was researching mini excavators on YouTube, I could not find one that showed real good footage of them working, so I figured, once I got mine, I would do some REAL work with it, and see what it was made of.

This could have been a much longer video, but I sped up the digging part in 2x speed. Or, it could have been a much shorter video if I had a bigger excavator LOL!

This Cat 302 is actually the perfect size machine for what I need it for. I will be clearing woods of mostly saplings, holding trees up with the bucket and thumb for cutting firewood, trench work, grading and ditching.

The next piece of equipment I would like is a dump trailer. This mini excavator weighs in at just under 5000 pounds, so it will be easy to tow around inside the trailer.

The Cat 302 is really handy for getting into tight spaces as well - the tracks retract underneath the machine to 42.9 inches and expand to 55.12.

Here are some other key specs:

Net Power - 21 HP
Operating Weight - 4987 lbs
Dig Depth - 101.2 inches
Boom Reach - 167 inches
Stick Steer

If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Thank you for watching, I really hope this helps!
