The 305E CR is a compact-radius 5-ton class excavator. The tail stays inside the track width, so it can work against a wall or traffic barrier without the house hitting anything. Its load-sensing hydraulics run off a variable-displacement piston pump and deliver 10,050 lb of bucket digging force. The COMPASS monitor adds password anti-theft, an economy mode and maintenance interval tracking, and auto two-speed travel, auto idle and the swing park brake are standard. It is sized for utility trenching, landscape work and tight-access jobs.
