2. CAT 305.5 / 305.5E2 – Best for Tight-Access Sites
Best for: Projects requiring a mini excavator that can operate in very confined spaces.

Real example: We have a 2025 CAT 307.5 in stock, priced at $26,000 FOB. This machine is as-inspected and comes with a start-up video, photos, and an inspection report.

Its larger size allows it to handle more demanding tasks while still being transportable. At $21,000 FOB, it offers a good balance between capability and cost. For buyers in emerging markets, this model is a solid investment that can handle a variety of jobs.
