The development of the industry’s first true excavator style boom (enabling excellent
clearance over objects), remains a signature trademark of the Cat backhoe.
In-cab, a new LCD display provides the information needed
to monitor machine performance. New switches feature
improved back lighting for easy use in all ambient-
light conditions, and longer-life LED rear lights are now
standard. (This cab view shows the machine specified with
mechanical controls.)
The new Cat F2 Series backhoe loader range builds on 30 years of concentrated Caterpillar
research and development and remains the class leader across all industries.
On the F2-Series, the lock-up torque converter provides a direct
ratio between power pack and driveline when in the roading
gears. This results in a 16% decrease in fuel consumption and an
11% increased average speed. The lock-up torque converter is an
invaluable addition when travelling between job sites.
