The bright segment is what Case TR340B is rated to carry; the grey run past it is the rest of its tipping load. Bar length is tipping load drawn to the same scale on every machine on the site, so a short bar is a smaller machine and not a conservative rating.

Nothing in Case's B-Series lineup has more radial-lift power than the TR340B, a compact track loader running a 90 hp FPT diesel. It's built for heavy earthmoving and grading with strong breakout force at a competitive price.

Suits: Heavy earthmoving and grading for contractors who want radial digging power Its radial lift path reaches furthest at mid-height, for digging, grading and backfilling.

What owners report

Summarised from the sources listed below. Nothing here was tested by us.

Case's heaviest radial track loader exists for contractors whose day is dirt - trenching, backfilling, grading, pushing - rather than truck loading, and it is specified accordingly: 90 hp, 282 lb-ft, and 17.7-inch tracks that are wide for a radial machine. Owners who do that work tend to prefer the radial arc, because it puts the bucket where a backfill or a trench wants it without swinging through a tall tower.

The interesting thing on the spec sheet is what the extra horsepower does not buy. Bucket breakout is 8,700 lb, a rounding error above the 74 hp TR310B and slightly below the 74 hp TV370B, so the 90 hp engine is paying for sustained speed under load rather than for a stronger bucket - and it brings SCR and a DEF tank with it, which the 74 hp radial machines avoid completely. Dump height is capped at 102.2 inches by the radial geometry. Undercarriage is the dominant running cost, and Case's own product guidance about gradual turns and straight slope travel is worth relaying to whoever runs the machine, because those habits move track life more than the hour meter does.

Heavy groundwork crews get the biggest radial machine available here, provided the trailer is rated well past 10,000 lb. Cross-shop it carefully, though: on the 35 percent basis the rest of the industry uses, its 2,380 lb sits behind a Cat 255 and a Takeuchi TL10V2 despite a headline that suggests otherwise, and the 74 hp TR310B gives up almost no breakout force while keeping the simpler emissions system. New Holland sells the same platform in its C-series, so the nearer or better dealer is a legitimate tiebreaker.

What owners like

  • Most powerful radial machine Case builds: 90 hp gross, 84 net and 282 lb-ft of peak torque, which shows up as the ability to keep travelling into a pile instead of stalling the hydrostat.
  • High flow reaches 37.6 gpm, enough to run the broad middle of the attachment catalogue without dropping into the pressure-limited territory smaller circuits hit.
  • 17.7-inch tracks are unusually wide for a radial loader and keep a 10,000 lb machine from sinking on the soft, churned ground that radial machines spend their lives in.
  • Radial geometry puts the bucket where backfilling and trenching want it through the middle of the arc, and owners doing that work all day prefer it to a vertical tower.
  • Case's cab is one of the widest in the class with a low entry, large rear window and a backup camera in the 8-inch display.

What owners complain about

  • The 3,400 lb headline is a 50 percent of tipping load figure where Bobcat, Cat, Deere, Kubota, ASV, Gehl, JCB and Yanmar quote 35 percent - less reserve at the same number, not more. Case's own 35 percent figure is 2,380 lb, which puts it behind a Cat 255 at 2,499 lb and a Takeuchi TL10V2 at 2,525 lb, machines its headline appears to tower over.
  • Paying for 90 horsepower buys very little digging force here: 8,700 lb of bucket breakout is barely above the 74 hp TR310B's 8,680 and actually below the 74 hp TV370B's 8,776. The extra power shows up as sustained speed under load, not as a stronger bucket.
  • The 90 hp engine is certified with SCR, so this machine carries a DEF tank and dosing hardware while the 74 hp radial models in the same family avoid both entirely.
  • Radial lift caps dump height at 102.2 inches, so clearing the sides of a full-height dump truck is a stretch that the vertical-lift TV370B handles comfortably.
  • At 10,000 lb it sits right on the limit of the trailer a lot of owners already have, and adding a bucket and forks pushes the combination past it.
  • Undercarriage dominates the running cost, and Case's own advice against counter-rotation and repeated one-direction slope work runs contrary to how most grading crews actually operate.
  • Resale trails the Bobcat, Cat and Deere equivalents, giving back part of the purchase-price advantage at trade time.

What buyers ask

Is 3,400 lb really more than a Cat 255's 2,499 lb?
No, and this is the trap on Case's tracked machines. Case rates at 50 percent of tipping load while Cat rates at 35 percent, which keeps more in reserve. Case's own 35 percent figure for this machine is 2,380 lb, so a Cat 255 actually lifts a little more, not a lot less. Always compare the two numbers on the same basis before deciding.
Is the 90 hp worth it over the 74 hp TR310B?
Only for some work. Bucket breakout is 8,700 lb versus the TR310B's 8,680 - effectively identical - so digging force is not what you are buying. The 90 hp engine gives more sustained power for travelling into piles and running demanding attachments. Against that, it brings SCR and a DEF tank, which the TR310B does not have, and it weighs about 1,100 lb more.
Does it use DEF?
Yes. Case certifies the 90 hp B-Series engine with cooled exhaust gas recirculation plus selective catalytic reduction, which means a DEF tank and dosing hardware. The 74 hp machines in the same family use a diesel oxidation catalyst only and need no DEF at all, which is a genuine consideration if you have had dosing-system trouble before.
Can it load a full-height dump truck?
It can, but not comfortably. Radial lift caps dump height at 102.2 inches, so the bucket reaches the top of the sides rather than clearing them with room to spare, and spillage down the outside of the truck is the usual complaint. If truck loading is a daily job rather than an occasional one, the vertical-lift TV370B is the better-shaped tool.
How long does the undercarriage last?
It depends far more on how the machine is run than on hours. Case's own product specialists advise against counter-rotation turns and against working consistently across a slope in one direction, recommending wide gradual turns and straight up-and-down slope travel instead. Track tension and ground conditions do the rest - abrasive, rocky ground shortens life sharply.
Is there a New Holland version?
CNH sells this compact track loader platform under both the Case and New Holland badges, built alongside each other, with the C-series carrying the New Holland name. Because owner frustration with these machines centres on dealer support and parts availability rather than the hardware, it is worth pricing both and choosing on the strength of the local dealer.

Skipping DEF entirely, the 74 hp FPT engine in the Case TV370B backs a 3,700 lb rated capacity in a large-frame vertical-lift compact track loader. It's the tracked sibling of the SV340B, aimed at contractors who want big-machine lift and truck-loading height without big-machine emissions plumbing.
