Features

Exterior Versatility
Built on a robust Caterpillar chassis, the 305E CR features 16-inch rubber tracks with 60-70% life remaining, offering a 4.3 psi ground pressure for stability on soft surfaces. Its reduced tail swing design enhances operation in tight spaces, with a max reach of 18 ft and vertical wall depth of 8 ft 6 in. Equipped with a general-purpose digging bucket, manual quick coupler, and auxiliary hydraulics (18.5 gpm, 3,625 psi), it supports attachments like breakers or grapples. A hydraulic thumb ensures secure material handling, and the backfill blade (6 ft 6 in wide) excels at grading. Halogen work lights, a counterweight, and a cold weather package enhance functionality, with a bucket breakout force of 10,149 lbs.

Interior Comfort
The enclosed ROPS cab features air conditioning, heating, and a radio for a comfortable workspace. Pilot controls with a pattern changer allow switching between ISO and SAE patterns, ensuring precise operation. The cloth suspension seat with adjustable armrests reduces fatigue, and the digital display provides real-time data on engine and hydraulics. Large windows, a low entry threshold, and ergonomic joysticks enhance visibility and ease, while the boom swing (70° left, 50° right) supports flexible digging angles.

Mechanical Excellence
Powered by a 41-horsepower Caterpillar C2.4 turbo diesel engine with a 2.4L displacement, the 305E CR delivers 106 ft-lbs of torque for reliable performance. The hydrostatic transmission with two-speed travel (1.7 mph low, 2.8 mph high) ensures smooth navigation. The Tier 4 Interim engine requires minimal maintenance, optimizing uptime. Auto-idle and load-sensing hydraulics enhance fuel efficiency, and the stick breakout force of 5,058 lbs ensures precise digging. Daily service points, accessible via a tilt-up hood, simplify checks for engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant. The 16.6-gallon fuel tank and fixed undercarriage with 60% remaining sprockets support extended operation.
