Ask for current stock, real machine video, specs, weight, transport size, hydraulic test and export support before quotation.
CAT 306E2 is a compact 6-ton mini excavator for buyers who need stronger digging and lifting than 305.5, while still keeping transport size manageable. CAT 306E can be compared when condition is clean. Ask for current stock first, then compare cold start, hydraulics, swing, tracks and transport size before price.
A used CAT 306E2 is not just another small excavator. It is usually for buyers who feel CAT 305.5 is a little light for their work, but still do not want a machine that becomes hard to transport or expensive to handle.
CAT 306E2 can be a good step up when you need stronger digging, better lifting feeling and more stable work on utility jobs, farm work, landscaping, rental use or small construction. But I still do not judge it only by model name, paint or hour meter.
CAT 306E is also worth comparing when the real condition is clean. A strong 306E with good engine, smooth hydraulics, tight swing and healthy tracks can sometimes be better value than a rough 306E2.
Before quotation, I usually check:
If you ask about CAT 306CR, we can check availability, but it is not our main stock direction. For most buyers, current available CAT 306E2 / 306E condition, video and transport size are more useful than chasing a version name that is not always in stock.
I do not mind if you compare our machine with another supplier’s offer. But compare the real things: cold start, engine, hydraulics, swing, tracks, pins, bucket, blade, transport size, working video and loading video.
| Item | Buyer Reference |
| Model | CAT 306E2 main stock; CAT 306E when available |

| Export Support | Port quote, documents, loading video and shipping reference |
CAT 306E2 is a good step up from 305.5 when you need stronger digging, better lifting feeling and more stable work, but still want a compact machine that is easier to transport than larger excavators. For buyers who do small construction, farm work, landscaping, rental work or utility jobs, this balance is often more useful than only chasing the smallest machine.
Some buyers only ask for CAT 306E2, but I still suggest comparing CAT 306E when the machine is clean enough to beat a rough 306E2 on real condition. In used equipment, version name helps you search, but engine condition, hydraulics, swing, tracks and pins decide the real value.
On a 6-ton compact excavator, a weak hydraulic system, swing / turntable looseness, tired engine, worn tracks or loose pins can reduce value quickly. That is why we show cold start, engine sound, hydraulic response, swing movement, track wear, bucket, pins, blade and final drive area before quotation. Video is more useful than polished photos.
Before loading, we can provide photos, working video, loading video and export documents. We also confirm real machine size, weight and loading details before shipping, so you can prepare trailer, flatbed pickup or unloading plan before the machine arrives. Destination port quotation, machine finding support, shipping size confirmation and third-party inspection can also be supported.
Cold start helps you see smoke, engine sound and idle stability before the machine is fully warm.
We test boom, arm, bucket, blade, swing / turntable and combined movements to see whether hydraulic response is smooth and whether the swing system has abnormal noise or looseness.
Tracks, pins, bucket, coupler and blade condition affect value. We show these details, not only the painted surface.
Before shipment, loading video helps you confirm the machine, identifiable details, loading process and transport reference.
