At a glance

Generation and emissionsC Series, Tier 2 emissions; sits between the 325B and the 325D in Cat's line, so verify the exact variant (325C, 325C L long undercarriage, 325C LN narrow) on the serial plate.

Boom and stick configurationFactory options include the 6.15 m Reach boom with 3.2 m or 2.65 m stick and the 5.55 m Mass boom with 3.2 m or 2.5 m stick; dig depth, reach and breakout force all shift with the combination fitted.

Undercarriage wearOn a machine of this age the undercarriage is the key inspection item: measure track link, sprocket, idler and roller wear, since a full undercarriage rebuild is one of the largest ownership costs on a 25 tonne crawler.

Configuration dependenceOperating weight varies with shoe width (700 or 800 mm triple grouser), counterweight and bucket; quoted weights include a 90 percent fuel tank and operator.
