CASE CX210E vs Caterpillar 336

The Caterpillar 336 is about 64% heavier than the CASE CX210E (37,000 vs 22,500 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

The Caterpillar 336 has about 98% more engine power (232 kW (311 hp) vs 117 kW (157 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.
