BOMAG BW 213 D-5 vs Caterpillar CS44B

The BOMAG BW 213 D-5 is about 86% heavier than the Caterpillar CS44B (13,000 vs 7,000 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.
