Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions we receive as the exclusive Cat 420 backhoe dealer in Central and Southern California to learn more about this machine.

 

What Is the Difference Between Cat 420 and Cat 420 XE?

The primary difference between Cat 420 and 420 XE is that 420 XE has more options for operator convenience and comfort. The Cat 420 XE backhoe loader comes with:

  • Seat-mounted controls: The 420 XE has seat-mounted controls instead of pilot controls to swivel the operator between the backhoe and loader positions.
  • A spacious cab: Since the controls are part of the seat, the operator will have more legroom and floor space in the cab.
  • Deluxe seat: The 420 XE has an air-suspension seat with a high back to keep the operator comfortable during a long day at the worksite, reducing fatigue.
  • Dual Mode: With Dual Mode, the operator can control both sides of the machine without changing positions.
  • Electronic loader controls: These specialized controls on the 420 XE model enable the single-tilt loader arms to perform parallel lifting and full rack angle control for enhanced breakout force and lift capability.
  • Touchscreen display: The 420 XE has a touchscreen in-cab display where you can control the operator modes, such as tuning joystick sensitivity and speed.

What Is the Bucket Capacity of a 420 Backhoe?

This model’s multipurpose bucket capacity depends on its bucket size. Options like heavy-duty rock buckets have a smaller capacity of 2.5 cubic feet, while more heavy-duty buckets designed for various excavation tasks can hold up to 13.4 cubic feet. 

What Engine Is in This Model?

The C3.6 engine delivers 92 horsepower for quicker acceleration at the worksite while reducing operating costs through fuel efficiency. It has a selective catalytic reduction emission solution to meet Tier 4 final emission standards.
