Caterpillar 336 vs Develon DX300LC-7
The Caterpillar 336 is about 16% heavier than the Develon DX300LC-7 (36,800 vs 31,800 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The Caterpillar 336 has about 11% more engine power (224 kW (300 hp) vs 202 kW (271 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Develon in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
