Caterpillar Fifteen vs Caterpillar Twenty-Two

Verdict: Caterpillar Fifteen vs Caterpillar Twenty-Two

The Caterpillar Fifteen and the Caterpillar Twenty-Two are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Caterpillar Twenty-Two leads on rated power with 25 hp against 15 hp. Caterpillar Fifteen is the lighter machine (4,500 kg vs 6,200 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Caterpillar Fifteen holds more fuel (87.1 L vs 83.3 L) for longer stints between fills. Caterpillar Twenty-Two is the newer design (1934 vs 1929). In short: choose the Caterpillar Twenty-Two for outright pulling power, or the Caterpillar Fifteen if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
