CASE 650M vs Caterpillar D1

The CASE 650M is about 6% heavier than the Caterpillar D1 (8,500 vs 8,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

The Caterpillar D1 has about 7% more engine power (60 kW (80 hp) vs 56 kW (75 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.
