Caterpillar 323 vs John Deere 210 P-Tier

The Caterpillar 323 is about 14% heavier than the John Deere 210 P-Tier (25,000 vs 22,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Engine output is effectively the same on both machines.

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