Caterpillar 416B vs Caterpillar 422E

Verdict: Caterpillar 416B vs Caterpillar 422E

The Caterpillar 416B and the Caterpillar 422E are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Caterpillar 422E leads on rated power with 78 hp against 77 hp. Caterpillar 422E is the lighter machine (10,201 kg vs 13,700 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Caterpillar 422E is the newer design (2006 vs 1992). In short: choose the Caterpillar 422E for outright pulling power, or the Caterpillar 416B if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
