Using the Cat 966M mainly for moving high tonnage. Fuel economy is ok, not mind-blowing but I do see a little drop in how much we're burning through. PAYLOAD system works fine once you get the hang of it, though not everyone seems to like messing with tech stuff in the cab. Pro: less time guessing weights. Transmission has been alright, I haven't tried the XE but the standard holds up when it's loaded up. Safety gear is all there - alarms, camera, backup lights, so can't complain. Convenience wise it's generally fine but not everything is super intuitive if you jump in straight from an older machine. Still gets the job done.

Honestly, I've put in a lot of hours with the 320B L and mostly it's just reliable, does what it needs to. Controls are real straightforward, don't need to mess around with things and cab space is decent. I deal with a lot of different jobs, switching between digging and loading and it's got enough versatility for what I need. Haven't run into much with the electrics, but I keep up on maintenance. Only annoying thing for me is the dust that builds up around the track area but that's kind of standard. Wouldn't say it's fancy, but it's a workhorse for sure.
