Caterpillar 416 II vs Caterpillar 428
Verdict: Caterpillar 416 II vs Caterpillar 428
The Caterpillar 416 II and the Caterpillar 428 are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Caterpillar 428 leads on rated power with 75 hp against 67 hp. Caterpillar 428 is the lighter machine (6,962 kg vs 13,708 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Caterpillar 416 II is the newer design (1990 vs 1985). In short: choose the Caterpillar 428 for outright pulling power, or the Caterpillar 416 II if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
