Nice pictures. Those projects are quite involved. I wonder how the 374F performs. I got to see a 374D we rented on one of our sewer projects in 2013. We all came to the assumption it was disappointing. It did not have very good balance, not enough "Junk in the trunk". We were using a 5 foot bucket on it with a long arm and it would just about tip over before the arm was all the way out. (We were digging 25' down so we had to hog out a lot of dirt). Granted it was heavy blue clay, but still seemed underwhelming. Maybe we accidentally rented a light counterweight version.  It did have power to pull boxes. Lots of power. Probably a good loading machine. A lot more power than the 345's.

That particular 374 probably handles fine with that setup, i've seen a Deere 850D with a long stick and a 5 ft bucket dig 25' for sewer over the summer and it was always tipping forward when the bucket was being pulled up but once it was above ground a ways it was fine, same thing like 385s or in this case 374's any big excavator with a long stick or arm and a big bucket is gonna struggle keeping its balance when digging at deep depths and wet material, I've also seen a 375L in a sand pit struggle to stay balanced when moving just sand.
Now you could spend the extra $$$ and get a add on CW to make it more stable but then you have to deal with it when it comes time to transport the machine, my guess would be that contractors the do underground unities that run the big boys just deal with the unbalanced machine.
