After 40 years in this business you have to have a small one and a large one but that takes time and about keeping them clean it’s very important to have clean machines for your customers to see you have pride in what you do

The 309 had a blade on it. The new one doesn't have one. I would think the grade feature would be good for septic fields, drainage ditches and footer work. A lot of the side to side grading and leveling Is what wears out the bushings on your bucket pins.

The 313 GC’s are nothing like 313’s in not just bells and whistles…they are much slower and have less power and have a smaller engine and pumps…you made the right decision buying the 313 next gen…only thing I’m disappointed in is the fact you didn’t put a blade on it…they have so much power the blade really helps to settle it down..beautiful machine though!!
