What owners say about each
New Holland C337
- The Super Boom vertical lift delivers class-leading dump height and reach, and owners say the C337 loads and stacks better than CTLs costing thousands more.
- The 3,700 lb rated capacity is genuinely large-frame muscle, and farmers moving hay bales and heavy pallets specifically choose it for the strength.
- The 131-inch hinge-pin height makes loading high-sided trucks and tall hoppers effortless, a real production advantage.
- New Holland pricing undercuts Bobcat and Cat large-frame CTLs, so value-focused buyers feel they get a lot of capability for the money.
- The cab is roomy and comfortable with good visibility, and the low-effort controls hold up well over long days.
- The 24 GPM standard flow plus high-flow option covers a broad range of attachments for versatility.
- New Holland's construction dealer network is sparse in many areas, and owners cite parts and service access as the machine's biggest weakness.
- Some owners report electronic and sensor gremlins on FPT-engined machines that need a knowledgeable dealer to sort out.
- The Super Boom linkage adds pivot points and grease points that require diligent maintenance on a heavy machine.
- Undercarriage and track costs are significant on a machine this size, especially on abrasive ground.
- The attachment and used-implement ecosystem is thinner than Bobcat's, limiting options in some markets.
- Fit-and-finish is seen by some operators as a notch below Cat and Bobcat refinement.
- At 74 hp, some operators feel the C337 is under-powered relative to its high capacity for the heaviest dirt work.
New Holland C345
- 4500 lbs of rated capacity moves full pallets of block or wet material that mid-frame CTLs simply can't pick, and owners say it feels planted doing it.
- The 90 hp FPT with 9,188 lbf of bucket breakout force powers through packed piles that stall 74 hp machines.
- Super Boom reach puts loads over 100 inches high and deep into truck beds - a decisive advantage over radial big-frames.
- The 39.9 GPM high-flow option at 3450 psi runs forestry mulchers and cold planers competently.
- At 4.4 psi ground pressure it treads lighter than its 10,610 lb weight suggests, sparing finished grades.
- Substantially cheaper than the Case TV450B and Bobcat T770-class machines it competes with head-on.
- The wide 300 Series cab with 8-inch display and backup camera keeps operators comfortable through long loading cycles.
- At 10,610 lbs plus attachments it needs a 14k-rated trailer and a serious tow vehicle.
- The 90 hp engine carries full DEF aftertreatment, adding cost and regen downtime versus sub-75 hp machines.
- Undercarriage wear on a machine this heavy is expensive - tracks, rollers, and idlers add up quickly in rocky conditions.
- The Super Boom linkage demands consistent greasing across many pivots, and slop develops fast when neglected.
- Standard 24.2 GPM flow is unremarkable for a 90 hp machine - the high-flow package is nearly mandatory for attachment users.
- Owners report FPT emissions electronics can throw codes that require dealer software to clear, painful when the dealer is hours away.
