CASE 2050M vs Caterpillar D1

The CASE 2050M is about 150% heavier than the Caterpillar D1 (20,000 vs 8,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

The CASE 2050M has about 167% more engine power (160 kW (215 hp) vs 60 kW (80 hp)).

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