331 Bobcat
Battery Issues
Model Year: 0

My biggest complaint on my bobcat 331 excavator is that the battery goes flat after 2-3 weeks of no use, the battery is a small one and sits in a spot where you cant get to it easily and there's no room for a bigger heavy duty one.

Pros: Strong digger.
Cons: Battery issues.
