We are looking at a very large purchase in buying a mini excavator and were wondering if the benefits of going with a CAT are better than going with a Kubota. My neighbor who operates heavy machinery for a living has mentioned that we will pay a little more going with a CAT, because it is designed to take more abuse and will last longer, and as a result, has a higher resale value for when we do sell it in 3yrs or so. We are limited to those 2 brands because of the availability of service here on our island. I don't have the actual numbers in-hand, but from my recollection, the CAT was not so much more that I was shocked, it's doable, and if it has a higher resale value, then yeah, buying the CAT would be the better deal in the end. I have sat in both machines, and the CAT was more comfortable than the Kubota. I've never operated a mini excavator by the way.
The two models we are looking at are the CAT Mini Excavator 303.5, with the comparable Kubota 35-4
Any help is appreciated.
