BOMAG BW 213 D-5 vs Caterpillar CB10

The BOMAG BW 213 D-5 is about 30% heavier than the Caterpillar CB10 (13,000 vs 10,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for BOMAG and Caterpillar in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
