Cat 335 Pumps Out More Power Than Its 335F Predecessor (In More Ways Than One)

Marcia Doyle Headshot

Increased stick and bucket cylinder sizes on Cat's new 335 Next Gen excavator give the compact radius machine 15% greater digging force than its predecessor 335F.

In addition, hydraulic power on the 335 has increased by 20 percent, while fuel consumption has decreased by up to 10 percent. 

Powered by a Cat C7.1 engine, the machine has three selectable operating modes – Power, Smart and Eco – along with a one-touch low idle. Selecting the Smart mode automatically matches the engine speed and hydraulic power demand, based on how hard the operator is digging. 

Cat says the machine offers the tightest tail swing radius in the industry, creating an agile machine for space-restricted jobsites such as single-lane road projects.
