What owners say about each
Case TV450B
- The 4,500 lb rated capacity handles full pallets of block, sod, and stone that make 3,000 lb-class machines nervous, and owners say it genuinely replaces a small wheel loader.
- The optional enhanced high-flow package delivers hydraulic power at 4,000 psi, letting it run cold planers and heavy mulchers that usually demand a 110 hp machine.
- The 90 hp FPT's 282 lb-ft of torque pulls hard into piles without bogging, and operators consistently note it feels stronger than the spec-sheet horsepower.
- Vertical lift with a 131.6-inch hinge pin height places loads well over high-sided dump trucks and hopper feeders with room to spare.
- At 10,610 lbs it delivers near-Cat 275 capacity for meaningfully less money, and value-focused buyers say the price per pound of ROC is hard to beat.
- Ride control and two-speed travel keep material in the bucket on long ground moves, making it productive on big open sites.
- Unlike the 74 hp TV370B's DEF-free setup, the 90 hp engine uses SCR aftertreatment, so you're back to filling a DEF tank and living with dosing-system sensors.
- The 'operator not fully present' seat sensor faults common to B-series machines can lock out hydraulics until sensors are cleaned or replaced.
- At 10,610 lbs plus a trailer you're into CDL territory in many states, a jump owners coming from mid-frame machines don't always anticipate.
- Owners report electrical gremlins and display glitches on B-series machines, and owners describe dealer software updates as a recurring fix.
- Enhanced high-flow, ride control, and the premium cab package are expensive options that push a well-equipped unit well past base price.
- Resale values trail Bobcat, Cat, and Deere, so the attractive purchase price gives some value back at trade-in time.
- The rigid-mount undercarriage rides rough at speed compared to torsion-suspended machines like ASV, and tall vertical-lift towers limit rearward visibility.
Case TV620B
- The 6,200 lb rated capacity and 12,400 lb tipping load are the biggest numbers in the CTL industry - it lifts pallets of block that would flip a Cat 299D3 or Bobcat T86.
- 12,907 lbs of bucket breakout force and 339 lb-ft of torque let it doze and strip topsoil like a small crawler dozer, and owners routinely use it with a 6-way blade.
- The 140.2-inch hinge pin height loads full-size dump trucks and even end-dumps with ease - clearance no other CTL matches.
- The 41.6 GPM high-flow option through a 3/4-inch coupler feeds the hungriest mulching heads and cold planers without starving them.
- Case fit the same wide, pressurized B-series cab with a huge door and 360-degree visibility, so the biggest CTL is also one of the most comfortable.
- It undercuts the cost of buying a small dozer plus a large CTL, and contractors say one TV620B replaces two machines on many jobs.
- At 16,300 lbs before attachments, hauling it requires a 20k+ trailer and a CDL - a logistical and licensing hurdle many buyers hit only after purchase.
- Ground pressure of 6.1 psi is the highest in the B-Series, so despite the tracks it will rut soft lawns and wet ground worse than smaller CTLs.
- The 114 hp engine uses SCR aftertreatment with DEF and a DOC, bringing back the emissions plumbing that Case's 74 hp models famously avoid.
- Its sheer size defeats the point of a 'compact' loader on tight sites - it won't work between houses or through gates where mid-frames live.
- Tracks, rollers, and idlers for a 16,000 lb machine cost dramatically more to replace than standard CTL undercarriage parts.
