Excavators
5 published model guidesCaterpillar 320 Excavator
The Caterpillar 320 is a mid-size crawler excavator positioned for general excavation, utilities, loading and site development. The verified values below describe Caterpillar's stated reach-boom reference configuration, not every 320 carrying the same badge.
ExploreCaterpillar 336 Excavator
The Caterpillar 336 moves into a larger production class than the 320, with substantially more operating mass and hydraulic capacity. Buyers should confirm whether that production gain fits truck loading, ground conditions and mobilization limits.
ExploreJohn Deere 210 P-Tier Excavator
The John Deere 210 P-Tier is a mid-size crawler excavator suited to general construction and utility work. Deere publishes an operating-weight range, which is more useful than a single unqualified figure when screening transport and ground-pressure implications.
ExploreKomatsu PC210LC-11 Excavator
The Komatsu PC210LC-11 is a long-undercarriage mid-size crawler excavator. The verified figures here come from Komatsu's Australian product page and are explicitly regional; they should not be silently applied to a North American serial number.
ExploreVolvo EC230 Excavator
The Volvo EC230 sits in the low-to-mid 20-tonne crawler-excavator class. Volvo publishes a broad operating-weight range and several front-equipment choices, making configuration identity essential before direct comparisons.

Mini Excavators
5 published model guidesCaterpillar 305 CR Mini Excavator
The Caterpillar 305 CR is a compact-radius excavator in the five-to-six-tonne class. Caterpillar publishes distinct canopy and cab weight ranges, which should stay attached to those configurations.
ExploreJohn Deere 50 P-Tier Mini Excavator
The John Deere 50 P-Tier is a compact excavator aimed at utility, landscape and general-construction work. Its published operating weight is near common trailer-planning thresholds, so attachments and actual scale weight deserve attention.
ExploreKubota KX040-5 Mini Excavator
The Kubota KX040-5 is a four-to-five-tonne compact excavator offered in canopy and cab forms. Kubota Canada's exact model technical page publishes gross and net output separately, detailed dimensions, operating weight, hydraulic pump capacity and breakout forces.
ExploreBobcat E55 Mini Excavator
The Bobcat E55 is a five-tonne compact excavator with a short published tail overhang. Buyers should still inspect the actual counterweight, coupler, arm and track package before treating it as a fixed specification.
ExploreTakeuchi TB260 Mini Excavator
The Takeuchi TB260 is a compact excavator with published canopy and cab weights and a relatively deep working envelope for its class. The cab adds mass, and transported attachments must be added separately.

Wheel Loaders
4 published model guidesCaterpillar 950 Wheel Loader
The Caterpillar 950 is a mid-size wheel loader used for aggregate, site work, snow and material handling. Caterpillar's exact model technical page identifies multiple power standards and a reference configuration; bucket and application packages remain decisive.
ExploreJohn Deere 644 P-Tier Wheel Loader
The John Deere 644 P-Tier is a mid-size wheel loader for loading, stockpiling and material-handling work. Deere's range-based product data should be narrowed to the machine's lift arm, bucket, coupler and tire build.
ExploreKomatsu WA380-8 Wheel Loader
The Komatsu WA380-8 is a mid-size wheel loader with a published operating-weight and bucket range. Its exact technical page identifies both gross and net power standards; the current research comparison uses the published net value explicitly.
ExploreVolvo L90H Wheel Loader
The Volvo L90H is a mid-size wheel loader with a wide published bucket and operating-weight range. Volvo states the reference bucket used for several performance values, which must remain attached to the data.
ExploreCompact Equipment
Compact Track Loaders
5 published model guidesCaterpillar 255 Compact Track Loader
The Caterpillar 255 is a vertical-lift compact track loader. Caterpillar publishes capacity at both 35% and 50% of tipping load, which makes the comparison basis visible instead of presenting one ambiguous ROC number.
ExploreJohn Deere 333 P-Tier Compact Track Loader
The John Deere 333 P-Tier is a large-frame vertical-lift compact track loader. Its published capacity is high for the cohort, but the source basis must be confirmed before a direct cross-brand ROC comparison.
ExploreKubota SVL75-3 Compact Track Loader
The Kubota SVL75-3 is a vertical-lift compact track loader with Canadian-published metric and imperial specifications. Kubota separates the 35% and 50% capacity figures, supporting a transparent comparison.
ExploreBobcat T66-2 Compact Track Loader
The Bobcat T66-2 is a mid-frame vertical-lift compact track loader. Bobcat publishes different rated capacities for solid and optional torsion undercarriages, so that undercarriage distinction belongs in any buying comparison.
ExploreTakeuchi TL12V2 Compact Track Loader
The Takeuchi TL12V2 is a large vertical-lift compact track loader. Its official specifications explicitly state that rated operating capacity is calculated at no more than 35% of tipping load under SAE J818.

Crawler Dozers
3 published model guidesCaterpillar D5 Dozer
The Caterpillar D5 is a mid-size crawler dozer offered in VPAT, LGP and fine-grading configurations. Caterpillar's configuration table shows why one unqualified operating-weight value is insufficient.
ExploreJohn Deere 650 P-Tier Dozer
The John Deere 650 P-Tier is a small dozer offered across configurations for grading and general construction. Deere publishes a weight range that should remain visible when comparing transport and ground-contact choices.
ExploreKomatsu D51PXi-24 Dozer
The Komatsu D51PXi-24 is a small-to-mid-size dozer with factory-integrated intelligent machine control. Technology condition and calibration should be inspected separately from the base machine.
