CASE 2050M vs Caterpillar D6

The Caterpillar D6 is about 11% heavier than the CASE 2050M (22,250 vs 20,000 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 Case and Caterpillar in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
