Pros & cons
Case TR310B
- ✓The 74 hp FPT meets Tier 4 Final with only a maintenance-free DOC - no DEF tank, no DPF regens - which owners cite as the reason they picked it over a Bobcat T64 or Kubota SVL75.
- ✓The 8,680 lb bucket breakout force is nearly identical to the 90 hp TR340B's, so it digs and grades far above what the horsepower number suggests.
- ✓Wide 15.75-inch tracks drop ground pressure to 5.0 psi, and landscapers say it floats over finished lawns and wet ground noticeably better than the narrower TR270B.
- ✓At 8,880 lbs it still tows behind a one-ton truck on a 12k trailer with a bucket - a threshold the 10,000 lb TR340B blows past.
- ✓The 24.2 GPM standard aux flow runs trenchers, augers, and power rakes without the high-flow upcharge that competitors often require at this size.
- ✓Case's wide cab, big door opening, and low entry are class-leading, and operators moving from Bobcat consistently comment on the extra shoulder room.
- ✓Radial geometry keeps the load in close through the dig zone, giving excellent grading feel and prying power at ground level.
- ✓It's typically several thousand dollars cheaper than a comparably equipped Bobcat T64 or Cat 259D3, and owners feel the value math clearly favors Case.
- ✗Radial lift means less reach at full height than vertical-lift rivals, so centering loads over high dump-truck sides takes more finesse at the 100.6-inch dump height.
- ✗Case's dealer network is thinner than Bobcat's and Deere's in many regions, and owners report waiting on FPT engine and undercarriage parts.
- ✗The 'operator not present' seat and armrest sensor faults are a recurring B-series complaint that can shut down hydraulics mid-job.
- ✗The 68 net hp works hard in heavy mulching or cold planing even with the 32.4 GPM high-flow option - flow-hungry attachment users should look at the TR340B.
- ✗Resale values lag Bobcat, Cat, and Deere equivalents, giving back some of the purchase-price advantage at trade time.
- ✗Owners report electrical gremlins and display glitches on B-series machines that typically require dealer software updates to resolve.
- ✗Ride quality over rough ground is stiff compared to torsion-suspension machines like ASV, and operators note material bounces out of the bucket at speed without ride control.
- ✗High-flow, ride control, and the premium cab package are all extra-cost options that push a well-equipped unit well past the attractive base price.
New Holland C332
- ✓Shares the C337's large frame and Super Boom geometry, so you get the same 101.6-inch dump height and 37 inches of reach for less money.
- ✓The long track base and 9630 lb weight make it notably stable carrying loads over rough ground compared to mid-frame CTLs.
- ✓The 37.6 GPM high-flow option feeds mulchers and cold planers that stall lesser machines in this price bracket.
- ✓The 74 hp FPT engine has proven CNH lineage and pulls well through heavy, wet material.
- ✓The wide 300 Series cab with 8-inch display, backup camera, and low-effort EH joysticks earns consistent comfort praise.
- ✓Truck-loading reach at full height is the Super Boom party trick - material lands in the middle of the bed, not on the near sidewall.
- ✓Priced below comparable Bobcat T595/T64-class verticals while offering a bigger frame than those machines.
- ✓Creep mode on EH-control machines makes trenching and cold-planing at constant ground speed far easier.
- ✗New Holland's construction dealer network is thin in many regions, and owners cite parts and service access as the brand's biggest weakness.
- ✗At 9630 lbs it demands a heavy-duty trailer and truck, effectively the same transport burden as the C337 with less capacity.
- ✗Resale value trails Bobcat, Cat, and Deere equivalents, partially offsetting the lower purchase price.
- ✗The Super Boom linkage has many pivot points that develop slop on high-hour machines without diligent greasing.
- ✗Vertical-lift geometry gives up some ground-level digging force versus radial machines like its C327 stablemate.
- ✗Standard 24.2 GPM flow is midpack, and the worthwhile high-flow package is an extra-cost option.
- ✗FPT emissions sensors and wiring can throw nuisance codes that are frustrating to chase without a nearby dealer.
- ✗Since it shares a frame with the C337, many buyers find the small price gap pushes them up a model - the C332 can be hard to justify.
