Built to deliver an improved customer experience, the new 4.4 ton Cat 304 and 5.5 ton Cat 305 CR next generation mini hydraulic excavators deliver more power to the pumps, higher bucket breakout forces and deeper standard digging depths to increase performance by up to 20 percent over their E2 series counterparts.
Their grease intervals and extended filter service life, combined with common components throughout the line and flat, easy-to-replace side panels, deliver up to 10 percent lower owner and operating costs, according to the manufacturer.
The new 304 and 305 CR models are the final machines to be reengineered to the Cat next generation mini hydraulic excavator line concept. From the 1.6 to 11 ton class models, all 17 to 20 Cat mini hydraulic excavators in the range (depending on region) offer common features and consistent controls layout to simplify training and operator adaptation.
New 304 Increases Stability
Built with a new reduced radius design, the 304 features a narrow, 66.9-in. track width, 10 in. slimmer than the 304 E2, for more versatility and access to confined spaces. While narrower, the new 304 design increases performance, balance and stability. Its reduced radius allows for greater stability, both 360-degree and when traveling with loads, while its extra counterweight option takes the model to an even higher level of stability.
Next Generation Comfort, Savings
Compact Performance of 305 CR
The new engine on the Cat 305 CR excavator delivers nearly 9 percent greater power to increase machine performance. Hydraulic system improvements provide higher breakout forces — 49.2 kN (11,061 lbf) bucket, 28.3 kN (6,362 lbf) standard stick and 25.2 kN (5,665 lbf) long stick — to improve digging efficiency in hard rock applications. It also offers 5.6 in. deeper dig depths than the 305 E2, giving it more application flexibility. Its compact radius swing reduces overhang when working to the side, while its 78-in. track width and new extra counterweight option help to optimize stability and lift performance in confined spaces.
Common to most Cat next generation mini hydraulic excavators, the sealed and pressurized cab enclosure is available with heating and/or air conditioning for all-weather climate control. The cab’s large glass areas plus skylight afford all-around visibility. The large display with advanced touchscreen option provides intuitive machine function control and easy monitoring of critical operating parameters. A canopy option is available in some regions.
Daily maintenance checks for the 304 and 305 CR are quickly made from ground level through side doors. Expanded use of common parts throughout the line plus their damage-resistant exterior construction help to reduce parts inventory investment and lower repair costs. Increased service intervals mean these excavators spend more time on the job and less time in the shop.

Advanced Efficiency
Both excavator models now offer an angle dozer blade option to optimize machine flexibility in backfilling and finish grading applications. In addition to offering ample above- and below-grade travel with standard float function for easy clean-up, the angle blade moves 45 degrees left or right of center. Increasing efficiencies and reducing operator interaction with final grading, angle blade movement is controlled by the right-hand joystick, while the left joystick handles machine drive.
Tailoring machine weight to job requirements, interchangeable counterweight packages offer the balance between low ground pressure and lifting performance. The Cat Stick Steer System simplifies machine control by allowing the operator to switch from conventional lever/foot-pedal steering controls to low-effort joystick operation. Two travel speed ranges and standard cruise control facilitate moving around the job site with minimum operator interaction.
Meeting U.S. EPA Tier IV Final and EU Stage V emission standards, the turbocharged Cat C1.7 Turbo engine delivers higher power than the previous C2.4 engine. Standard auto idle, auto engine shutdown and efficient load-sensing hydraulics with variable displacement pump help to lower fuel usage at the site for more affordable operation.
High main-relief pressures, coupled with flow rates, generates the hydraulic capacity for high digging and lifting forces and more efficient use of a range of attachments. Complete with quick-disconnect lines, the standard auxiliary system provides the choice of one-way, two-way or continuous flow.

At a recent equipment demonstration, Bob Best took notice of the stout, compact articulated loader busily feeding Bandit machines and was immediately impressed. Rich Droste (L) of Hummerbee and Bob Best, owner of Best Excavation, with the Hummerbee 721R 4-wheel drive compact articulated loader.
At a recent equipment demonstration hosted by Bandit Industries near its headquarters in Remus, Mich., the manufacturer’s extensive line of tree chippers and stump grinders weren’t the only machines to catch the attention of Bob Best, owner of Best Excavation, based in Alma, Mich. Best took notice of the stout, compact articulated loader busily feeding the Bandit machines and was immediately impressed.
As it turned out, the loader was on loan from another Michigan-based manufacturer, Hummerbee Rough Terrain Equipment.
Brian Kulling, president of Hummerbee, also was on hand at the Bandit demo event and Best sought him out to learn more about the company and its compact articulated loader.
Over the 35 years that Hummerbee has been in business, the company has gained a worldwide reputation as a premier manufacturer of rugged and reliable 4-wheel drive articulated forklifts for the beekeeping industry.
With the rising popularity of compact machines in the construction, tree care, farming, forestry, landscaping and municipal maintenance industries, Hummerbee saw an opening for a U.S.-made, heavy-duty, compact articulated loader. Applying its decades of experience in the design, engineering and production of rough-terrain machines, the company set about the development of a telescopic, compact articulated loader that would bridge the gap between skid steer loaders / mini wheel loaders and full-sized wheel loaders. The goal was to design a compact loader that is costeffective yet rugged enough to meet the challenging demands of wide-ranging work applications.
The result is the Hummerbee 721R, a 4-wheel drive compact articulated loader equipped with a 126-in. telescopic, dual- arm boom, 4,500-lb. tipping load, and is capable of getting around the job site at a speed of up to 14 mph. Powered by a Tier IV Final, 74 hp Kohler turbo diesel engine, Hummerbee’s articulated loader employs a 2-speed hydrostatic transmission with on-the-fly shifting.
Best Excavation specializes in post construction site work to prepare projects for final landscaping. Much of the company’s work consists of backfilling around foundations and site development, material placement and leveling on projects within a 40-mi. radius of the company’s home base.
Established in 1987 by Fred Best, he grew the company into what it is known as today. Best Excavation is now owned and managed by Fred’s nephew, Bob Best. As the new owner, he brings a new scope to the projects that Best Excavation has been completing for more than 30 years.
Best hopes to continue to find new ways to complete daily operations more efficiently and deliver the same quality service his uncle built the company around. That’s why the Hummerbee caught his attention, but will it fit the bill?
Eager to test the new Hummerbee compact articulated loader in a real-world work application, Kulling readily agreed to provide Best Excavation one of its machines for an extended trial period. Best’s immediate impression when operating Hummerbee’s compact articulated loader was that getting accustomed to the machine was extremely easy.
Best also was impressed with how much weight the Hummerbee compact articulated loader could lift. The 721R can manage a 2,500- to 3,000-lb. operating load, depending on the tire size and counter weight package.
Best found that another advantage of the Hummerbee is that the location of the operator’s position, which is higher up, provides exceptional sight lines on the job site, making it safer to operate.
Best also liked the fact that the Hummerbee is a wheeled loader as opposed to a track machine.
“With a tracked machine, you have to watch how you turn to avoid tearing up the ground on a finished grade, we didn’t have that issue with the Hummerbee. And because it’s articulated, you can really operate in tight spots,” he said.
A multitude of skid steer-style attachments are compatible with the Hummerbee compact articulated loader to equip the machine for a wide range of job functions. And the true, 21gpm auxiliary hydraulic oil flow extends the machines capabilities, which is a unique feature in the compact articulated loader world.

The Case TV620B compact track loader
Case Construction Equipment introduced the TV620B compact track loader (CTL), the largest and most powerful compact track loader ever built, according to the manufacturer. The 114-hp, 6,200-lb. rated operating capacity CTL delivers best-in-class breakout forces — as well as more standardized features than previously available on any Case CTL, said the company. This includes standard adjustable electro-hydraulic controls, high-flow hydraulics, auto ride control, oneway self-leveling, a hydraulic coupler, an auto-reversing fan, LED lights and a oneyear subscription to Case SiteWatch telematics. It also comes with a new 1.25 cu.-yd. heavy-duty bucket designed specifically for the TV620B.
The new Case TV620B also features the new Case SiteConnect Module, remote connectivity and software updates through the SiteManager App (iOS and Android), as well as connectivity to the Case Uptime Center for collaborative fleet management between Case, the local Case dealer and the equipment owner.
“The industry has never seen a CTL like this, and we’re focused on delivering extreme power and performance matched with intuitive technologies that simplify owning and operating,” said George MacIntyre, product manager, Case Construction Equipment. “The TV620B is built to simplify heavy work such as cold planing, mulching, heavy material handling, and loading high-sided trucks. There’s no loader on the market today with this level of standard features and its combination of power, stability, and performance — it’s here to take on the big work.”
The TV620B also features the advances introduced with the launch of the Case B Series CTLs, including a completely redesigned operator interface, industry leading 360-degree visibility, and an eight-inch LCD multi-function display that serves as the command center for the machine. It also includes the industry’s only rearview camera visible in a split screen display with machine data.
The Case TV620B provides major operational categories including rated operating capacity (6,200 lbs.), breakout force (12,084 lbs. bucket; 12,907 lbs. lift) and track length on the ground (74 in.).
Ground performance and machine strength is further supported by a new heavy-duty undercarriage and heavy-duty 17.7-in. rubber tracks that allow for minimal ground disturbance (6.1 psi) and enhanced performance on improved surfaces.
The TV620B offers a selection of buckets, including a heavy-duty 84-in. 1.25 cu.-yd. bucket with SmartFit teeth and is specifically designed for use with other heavy-duty attachments, such as mulching heads, cold planers and the new Case grading blade. Case will be releasing additional heavy-duty attachments designed specifically for use with the TV620B and has enhanced the hydraulic cooling capacity of the machine to support use of such heavy-duty, high-capacity attachments.
“The combination of strength, performance and stability of the TV620B is unmatched by any other machine, and provides a robust platform for working with larger buckets and high-capacity attachments,” said MacIntyre. “Heavy pallets, loading larger trucks, and running attachments that require enhanced-high-flow hydraulics are all handled with ease by this machine. The combination of track-onground, hinge pin height and reach at maximum dump height specs really make this a machine designed for loading trucks of all sizes.”
Standard Electro-Hydraulics, ‘Hydraulics On Demand’ Drive Greater Control
The Case TV620B expands on the intuitive controls of the B Series CTLs with new control features and standardization. It comes standard with adjustable electrohydraulic controls, which allow operators to set total machine responsiveness to low, moderate or aggressive; or independently set tilt, lift and drive speed, as well as loader arm and drive control to best meet the demands of the work. A simple button lets operators select between operating in H or ISO operating patterns. And “Creep Speed” allows the operator to set machine speed at a consistent/slow “creep” while independently setting attachment speed via the throttle for optimal use of attachments such as cold planers and brooms.
Exclusive to the Case TV620B is new “hydraulic on demand” performance that allows the operator to easily select the percentage of auxiliary hydraulic flow to the attachment via the machine’s multi-function display. This allows the operator to dial in attachment performance to their preference or the recommendation of the attachment manufacturer.
The TV620B also features standard automatic ride control with adjustable speed settings, which engages ride control immediately when the CTL hits a pre-specified speed. This feature is enabled and disabled simply within the multi-function display in the machine.
It also features a foot pedal that serves one of three functions — accelerator (traditional acceleration), trans (reduces drive speed but retains RPM for loader arm functions), and decel (traditional deceleration), based on operator preference.
“We are giving the operator more precise and intuitive control than they’ve ever had in a Case CTL, and making the machine as simple to operate for as broad a range of applications as possible,” said MacIntyre.
Enhanced Ease of Service; Standard Telematics; New Hydraulically Reversing Fan The Case TV620B meets emissions regulations with a combination of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR), diesel oxidation

catalyst (DOC) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technologies — it features no diesel particulate filter (DPF) and requires no regeneration.
“This emissions solution requires no downtime associated with regeneration, no lifetime service associated with a DPF, and is easy for the owner to manage,” said MacIntyre. “We’ve also integrated large diesel (30.8 gal.) and diesel exhaust fluid (3.3 gal.) tanks to extend working days when the job needs to get done.”
Debris buildup in the engine compartment is further mitigated with a standard hydraulic auto-reversing fan — the operator can easily set how often the fan runs, and for what duration, within the multi-function display in the cab.
As with the entire lineup of Case compact track loaders, all major service points are easily accessible at the rear of the machine. Daily service and overall fleet management are further improved with a standard one-year subscription to Case SiteWatch telematics.
The enhancements in machine design and technology also includes the new Case SiteConnect Module — first introduced on Case G Series wheel loaders. The SiteConnect Module allows for more robust telematics performance, remote diagnostics and remote software updates that streamline fleet management activities. This enhanced connectivity allows the machine owner to share — at their discretion — real-time machine information with the dealer and the Case Uptime Center in Racine, Wis.
“These technologies help Case and our dealers stay better connected to the service and fleet management needs in the field, and significantly shortens the amount of time it takes to identify machine issues, respond in the field and ensure optimal uptime,” said MacIntyre.
Case achieves the new remote service capabilities in part through the new SiteManager App (iOS and Android). This app pairs the operator’s phone or device to the machine to enable remote analysis. Certified Case technicians then diagnose the health of each connected machine through various parameter readings and fault codes — and the technician makes a determination as to whether the issue can be addressed remotely (such as clearing codes or updating software) or if it requires a trip to the machine.
The SiteConnect Module also improves the volume, flow and integration of data to the Case SiteWatch telematics platform for real-time monitoring, management of maintenance and service intervals, examination of equipment utilization and overall machine record keeping.
“The TV620B represents the most powerful, complete and intuitive CTL we’ve ever built, and certainly unlike anything the industry has seen — from the pure specs of it to the new control capabilities and the remote fleet management capabilities,” said MacIntyre. “This machine takes CTL capabilities to a whole new level no matter what industry you work in.”
