Features & Information

Emissions and Engine Technology. The Cat C13 engine can run on biodiesel up to B20 and meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, Japan 2014, and Korea Tier 4 Final emission standards. Match the 349 excavator to the job with three power modes – Power, Smart, and Eco. Smart mode automatically matches engine and hydraulic power to digging conditions, providing max power when needed and reducing power when it isn’t to help save fuel.

Lower Maintenance Costs Up To 20%. With extended maintenance intervals, you get more done at a lower cost compared to the 349F. Consolidated filter locations make service faster. Hydraulic, air, and fuel tank filters have increased capacity and longer life.

Protection in All Directions. The standard 2D E-Fence feature automatically stops excavator motion using boundaries you set in the monitor for the entire working envelope – above, below, sides, and front. E-Fence features protect equipment from damage and reduce fines related to zoning or underground utility damage. Automatic boundaries even help prevent operator fatigue by reducing overswinging and digging.
