For light to heavy-duty digging in all kinds of terrain, even the most challenging, the Caterpillar 305E2 is an ideal tool. At 11,500 pounds and powered by a 40 horsepower Diesel Cat C2.4 engine, it is in the large mini excavator class. The 305E2 has an extended boom that can reach horizontally to 19’7" and dig vertically to 12’0". It also has a thumb and a leveling blade and can be fitted with a 12" trenching bucket, a 24" standard, or a 36" wide bucket most often used for septic tank work. Like all the Caterpillar minis, the 305E2 has an easy-to-use joystick control system that gives it maximum maneuverability.
