Deep Trenching Test – Test Description Results of Trenching Tests
The trenching test was conducted by digging a single bucket
wide – 1219 mm (48") trench that was 3.35 m (11'0") deep and
approximately 30.5 m (100') long. Cycle times were recorded
using a computer program that was specifically designed for
productivity tests. Depths of the trenches were measured at several
intervals to ensure accuracy of the trench depths. Fuel, when
measured, was measured using portable day tanks that were
weighed prior to the test, and then weighed upon completion
of the test. All results are based on 60-minute work hours.

Shallow Trenching Results
The trenching test was conducted by digging a single bucket
wide – 1219 mm (48") trench that was 2.1 m (7'0") and deep and
approximately 30.5 m (100') long. Cycle times were recorded using
a computer program that was specifically designed for productivity
tests. Depths of the trenches were measured at several intervals to
ensure accuracy of the trench depths.

Test Description Truck Loading Tests Results
The truck loading tests were conducted using re-handled material
from the trenching tests, which was a mixture of soil and clay.
The tests were same level loading, swinging 90°. The depth was
approximately 3.05 m (10'). Each test consisted of each machine
loading 10 trucks, which were on highway dump trucks. Machines
were alternated between each run to ensure the consistency of the
material between runs.

Lifting Tests Results Test Description
Four different lift tests were conducted with the two machines to
demonstrate any lifting differences as result of the addition of the
heavy lift circuit for the 325D L. The weight used in all of the tests
was a manufactured weight, which weighed approximately 6800 kg
(15,000 lb). Distances measured were from the center point of the
swing bearing to the distance of the load point. Load heights were
measured from the ground level up to the load point, which was
the bucket lift eye.
Test #1 – Over the Front – The boom was pulled all the way up
and the stick was then extended out as far as it could reach, before
coming off its rollers or was hydraulically limited.
Test #2 – Over the Front – The load was held at a constant lift
point and was extended to its maximum reach using both boom
and stick until the machine either tipped (came off its rollers)
or was hydraulically limited.
Test #3 – Over the Front – The load was held at a constant lift
point and was extended over the front using the boom, until the
boom was hydraulically limited (stalled).
Test #4 – Over the Side – The boom was pulled all the way up
and the stick was then extended out as far as it could reach before
coming off its rollers, or was hydraulically limited.

Lift Chart Comparison
325C L vs. 325D L Lifting Capacities
R3.2C (10'6") Stick – 800 mm Shoes
Pressure – 325C L = 497 psi; 325D L = 5,220 psi (Heavy Lift)
Bucket Weights Equalized
Lift Load Radius
The above chart is an overlaying of the lift charts for each machine
with the bucket weights equalized. Overall there is a 2% advantage,
but in the Working Range, typically 6.1 m – 7.6 m (20-25 ft),
there are advantages for the 325D L near 7% over the front.
