    New 15 ton digger

    Sorry 313F, imagine push your grading bucket out on a mound of soil to backfill a hole, 312E will rev up and do it no problem then when your arm is out you track forward... mound of soil gone. Not with the 313F, no grunt, couldn't push over more than a ton bag worth of stuff I'd say!

    I have always kept the keys of any car worth more than 5k in a Faraday pouch. Only trouble with a range rover is if the thieves really want it they will break into the house and violently take the keys!

    New 15 ton digger

    In the 13-15t class CAT have went downhill. 312E vs 312F is day and night I have no doubts the 8 ton class they are a fantastic machine, the 308B just needs injectors at 10k hours and I agree it would go to crazy hours.

    Pin and bushes must be made of cheese, the arm was loose The slew ring had a load of slap in it No power when pulling the arm towards you as if the pump or the engine just simply wasn't revving enough Can't comment on the undercarriage as it was pumped out tight as a drum when we got it
