What owners say about each
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.
JCB 400T
- The single-arm PowerBoom and side-entry door mean operators never climb over an attachment or under a raised boom - JCB claims up to 60% better sightlines than twin-arm machines, and the boom carries a lifetime warranty.
- The 109 hp 4.4L EcoMax engine hits Tier 4 Final with no DPF, so there are no regen cycles interrupting mulching or grading work and less emissions hardware to maintain.
- The optional Super Flow package delivers up to 42.3 GPM at a selectable 3,300 or 4,000 psi, putting it in true high-production mulcher and cold-planer territory.
- This is JCB's biggest CTL ever - a 3,994 lb rated capacity and 12,544 lb operating weight built on a redesigned chassis and cooling system for sustained heavy work.
- The cab is up to 33% larger than competitors with a heated air-suspension seat, 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, and electro-hydraulic joysticks with ISO and H-pattern options.
- The PowerBoom on this model contains 20% more steel for extra strength, and vertical lift geometry gives clean reach at truck-loading height with a 9'6" dump height.
- MyChoice settings let each operator tune joystick response and drive behavior, which fleets appreciate when multiple people share the machine.
- It's a brand-new model launched in April 2026, so there's no long-term reliability track record and early adopters are effectively field-testing year one.
- The 123-inch hinge pin height is modest for the 100-plus hp class - Case's TV620B and Cat's 285 both place the pin noticeably higher for loading tall trucks.
- At 12,544 lbs before attachments, hauling it legally requires a heavier truck and trailer setup than most compact fleets already own.
- JCB's compact-line dealer network is still thinner than Bobcat, Cat, or Deere in much of rural America, which matters more on a flagship machine you can't afford to have down.
- Pricing starts around $101,000 and climbs past $114,000 equipped, right at the top of the CTL market.
- Getting maximum attachment performance requires stepping up to the optional Super Flow package - the standard 24 GPM circuit is ordinary for this class.
