Case SR240B
The Case SR240B is the current B-series successor to the popular SR240 - a large-capacity radial-lift wheeled skid steer with a 74 hp FPT 3.4L diesel that skips both DPF and DEF entirely. With 2,400 lbs of capacity, an 8,680 lb breakout force, and a heavy-duty hydraulic coupler standard, Case pitches it as large-frame performance with medium-frame running costs.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The 8,680 lb bucket breakout force is the strongest of any radial B-series Case and embarrasses machines with far more horsepower in the dirt.
- ✓Tier 4 compliance via cooled EGR and a DOC only - no DPF regens, no DEF tank - keeps emissions maintenance at effectively zero.
- ✓The 3.4L FPT's 232 lb-ft of torque is the story rather than the 74 hp rating, and owners consistently report it lugs through hard pushing without stalling.
- ✓The 24.2 GPM standard flow with an available 37.6 GPM high-flow package runs a genuinely wide attachment range for a radial machine.
- ✓A heavy-duty hydraulic attachment coupler comes standard on the SR240B - it's only optional on the smaller B-series machines.
- ✓The B-series update added the 8-inch LCD display with backup camera, push-button start, and adjustable EH controls over the outgoing SR240.
- ✓Case's wide cab, big door opening, and low entry are repeatedly praised by larger operators who feel cramped in Bobcat and Deere mid-frames.
- ✓Price per pound of capacity undercuts a comparable Bobcat S76 or Cat 260 build by a healthy margin.
Cons
- ✗Radial lift geometry limits reach and dump height at the top of the arc, so loading tall trucks is the vertical-lift SV280B's job.
- ✗Case's construction dealer network is thinner than the big three, and slow parts availability is the most common owner complaint.
- ✗Owners report B-series sensor faults - the operator-presence seat sensor especially - that can lock out hydraulics until cleaned or replaced.
- ✗Resale value trails Bobcat, Cat, and Deere, clawing back some of the attractive purchase price at trade-in.
- ✗At 7,400 lbs with a bucket it's past half-ton towing territory, needing a 3/4-ton truck and a stout trailer.
- ✗Electrical gremlins and display glitches show up in owner forums often enough to be a pattern, usually resolved by dealer software updates.
- ✗High-flow, ride control, and the comfort cab package are all extra-cost options that move the real price well above base.
- ✗The FPT engine is less familiar to independent mechanics than Cat or Kubota power, which can complicate rural or out-of-warranty service.

Case SV280B
The Case SV280B is a large-frame vertical-lift wheeled skid steer that pairs a 2,800 lb rated capacity and 130-inch hinge pin with a 74 hp FPT diesel that needs neither DPF nor DEF. It's the wheeled sibling of the TV370B's formula: big-machine lift and truck-loading height without big-machine emissions plumbing.
Case
Case SR210B
The Case SR210B is a medium-frame radial-lift wheeled skid steer built around a 74 hp FPT 3.4L turbo diesel with maintenance-free Tier 4 emissions - no DPF and no DEF. With a 2,100 lb rated capacity and 7,270 lbs of breakout force in a relatively compact package, it's Case's all-purpose dirt machine.
Case
Case SR270B
The Case SR270B is the biggest radial-lift machine in Case's wheeled lineup - a 90 hp, 8,117 lb large frame built for serious dirt work. With 282 lb-ft of torque, an available 8,677 lb breakout force, and an enhanced high-flow option pushing 4,000 psi, it's the radial counterpart to the vertical-lift SV340B for buyers who dig more than they load.
