I wanted to consolidate some of my equipment because I felt a little overwhelmed with all the machine maintenance I have. So I decided to look for an all in one machine that could do what my skid steer and wheeled excavator could do.
I looked at a lot of options, including the Mecalac but decided to go with the CAT 306 with XTC for many reasons:
-It was half the price of the Mecalac
-It can handle all of my skid steer attachments that I already own
-It is an excavator so I wouldn’t need my Komatsu PW30 anymore
-I have a good CAT dealership close by
-It is basically a Skidsteer and Excavator combined
In this video I walk through everything in detail and try to focus on the CAT 306 XTC’s ability to replace my skidsteer, especially how it can handle all of the attachments I have. This review was made after about 60 hours of using the machine and shows some footage removing invasive species in my woods. Also there is some bonus footage of the “Castle Camp” overlook. Consider subscribing to see more videos on the machine and how it functions with various attachments. It has quickly become my favorite machine and is affectionately referred to as “The Swiss Army Knife”!
Thanks for watching!
