A straight, spec-by-spec look for compact construction buyers across Ohio and Indiana. The numbers are only half the decision.
If you're looking at the 320 P-Tier, you're probably a landscaper, a small contractor, or a property owner who needs a machine that moves material, grades, and handles attachments without being oversized. The real question between the 320 and the 324 is how much capacity you need, and how much machine you want to haul and maneuver to get it.
The 324 P-Tier has the edge on raw numbers. It makes 73.5 hp against the 320's 69.3 hp, and its rated operating capacity is 2,690 lb. versus 2,190 lb. Hydraulic horsepower at standard flow is 41.7 hp versus 39.2 hp, and its hinge pin height is 126 in. versus 122.2 in. If you routinely lift heavy pallets, stone, or full buckets of wet material, that extra 500 lb. of capacity matters. The 320 is also lighter at 7,150 lb. versus 7,700 lb., which can make trailering and working on finished surfaces easier. Everything else is identical: 20.7 gpm standard flow, 11.1 mph high travel speed, 97.7 in. dump height, and a 21 gal. fuel tank.
So the choice is straightforward. If your loads are on the heavier side, or you want more lift reach, the 324 fits. If your work is lighter and you value a lighter machine, the 320 is the better match. Either way, you get the same Koenig service network across Ohio and Indiana, genuine parts, uptime support, and strong resale. Stop by and talk with your local Koenig team, and we'll help you match the machine to your jobs.
