It is hard – even for the likes of Caterpillar – to get a foothold in the UK backhoe loader market when it is dominated by JCB. Despite this, there are usually some listings for Caterpillar backhoe loaders for sale here at PlantPages. The machines themselves are assembled right here in Leicestershire and exported all over the world. You can tell a CAT backhoe from the model numbers easily enough. They all start with a ‘4’ as in 400 series. Prior to the removal of the ‘generation’ letters from the end of the model numbers, the last were the ‘F’ series. This means that there will never be a 428G but instead just a 428 (build 07). There are only four main models of side-shift Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders – the 428, 432, 434 and 444.
