Hi Joe, welcome to the forum .. tell me why do you not like your 315 ?

I just feel like it lacks the guts that the PC160 i was on had. Dont get me wrong its not a bad machine. I dont know wether its because its nearly 4 years old or the fact that the guy who ran it before me beat it to death. I shouldnt really complain ive not had anything wrong with it.

More like beaten to death.. so what you hoping for next ?

Nice pictures mate Think it could be that the 315 has been beaten to death In all the years I've been operating machines, the only Cat I ever operated was a backhoe, long, long ago I've never operated a Cat 360 excavator, but I've been on plenty of Komatsus and I can't fault them I've been on a few JCB JS machines too and they're nice to operate
Hope you'll be posting more stuff

Im hoping for a JS160LC or the new Volvo EC160CL... Those volvos are meant to be a great machine.

Craig,

We mainly do groundworks for warehousing or schools. This job im currently on is a School in Leicestershire. We do some housing but at the minute housing pretty slow round here.

Nick,
Those new ZX180's arent a bad machine at all. I operated this one on a retaining wall project and was really really impressed with it. There was just one little niggle with the fuel comsumption but thats been fixed now.
