The bright segment is what Case TV450B 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.

A full 800 lbs of capacity separates the TV450B from the TV370B below it: 4,500 lb rated, out of a large-frame vertical-lift compact track loader with a 90 hp FPT engine. With a 9,000 lb tipping load and an available 4,000 psi enhanced high-flow package, it's built for heavy pallet work, truck loading, and demanding hydraulic attachments.

The same machine is sold as the New Holland C345 — different paint, different dealer network, same hardware, so the choice is usually about which dealer is closer and which one you would rather owe a service call to.

Suits: Heavy pallets and demanding attachments, with big capacity but not the massive TV620B Its vertical lift path reaches highest at full extension, for loading high-sided trucks and stacking.

What owners report

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

Sitting one size below the outsized TV620B, this is the machine most contractors actually mean when they say they want a big Case track loader - 90 hp, vertical lift, and enough capacity to handle full pallets of block and stone without the weight and licensing problems of the range-topper. Owners talk about it as a truck-loading and material-handling machine first and a dirt machine second, which the 131.6-inch hinge pin supports.

Day to day the engine is the good news and the option sheet is the trap. The 90 hp FPT makes 282 lb-ft and 84 net hp and pulls harder than its gross rating suggests, but it carries SCR aftertreatment, so the DEF-free simplicity that sells the 74 hp B-Series machines is gone at this size. Two separate high-flow packages exist and they differ in the way that matters: one adds flow, the other adds pressure to 4,000 psi, and only the second one genuinely suits a cold planer or a big mulcher. An enclosed cab is an option rather than standard. Undercarriage remains the largest recurring cost, and Case's own advice on gradual turns and straight slope travel is worth passing to whoever runs it.

Loading trucks and moving heavy material daily, without stepping into 16,000 lb territory, is exactly the gap it fills. On price it undercuts a John Deere 331 P-Tier that it matches exactly once both capacities are stated on the same 35 percent basis, which is the comparison worth making rather than the headline one. Before signing, settle the high-flow choice, confirm whether the quote includes a cab, and get a price on the equivalent New Holland C-series machine - it is the same loader from a different dealer, and the dealer is the part of this purchase owners complain about most.

What owners like

  • Levelled onto the 35 percent basis most brands quote, its 3,150 lb matches a John Deere 331 P-Tier exactly while listing for several thousand dollars less - the value case survives the honest comparison, which is not true of every Case headline.
  • The enhanced high-flow option raises pressure rather than just flow: 35.0 gpm at 4,000 psi, against the ordinary high-flow option's 39.5 gpm at 3,450 psi. Pressure is what cold planers and large mulchers actually run short of, and owners who bought the plain high-flow package are the ones who wish they had read the two lines more carefully.
  • The 90 hp FPT makes 282 lb-ft of peak torque and 84 net hp, and operators consistently report it pulls into a pile harder than the gross horsepower number leads them to expect.
  • A 131.6-inch hinge pin and 9,188 lb of bucket breakout cover both ends of the job - loading high-sided trucks and digging into compacted material - without the machine feeling specialised for either.
  • 17.7-inch tracks spread a 10,610 lb machine well enough that it stays usable on soft ground, and Case's cab is one of the widest in the class with a low entry threshold and a backup camera as part of the B-Series interface.

What owners complain about

  • The 4,500 lb headline is quoted at 50 percent of tipping load where Bobcat, Cat, Deere, Kubota, ASV, Gehl, JCB and Yanmar quote 35 percent, which means less reserve at the same number rather than more. Case's own 35 percent figure is 3,150 lb - so the machine that looks like it out-lifts a 2,900 lb Bobcat T76-2 by half actually leads it by about 9 percent.
  • The 90 hp engine is listed with SCR aftertreatment, so this is where the B-Series gives up the DEF-free, maintenance-free emissions setup that makes the 74 hp models popular - back to a DEF tank and dosing hardware.
  • An enclosed cab is an option, not standard equipment; the base machine is specified with a canopy and a suspension seat. Buyers comparing list prices against rivals that include a cab are not comparing like for like.
  • There are two different high-flow packages and they are easy to confuse - 39.5 gpm at 3,450 psi, or 35.0 gpm at 4,000 psi. Neither is a dealer-fit item after the sale, so ordering the wrong one is corrected by trading the machine, not upgrading it.
  • Undercarriage is the dominant running cost, and Case's own guidance is to avoid counter-rotation and repeated one-direction slope work - which is precisely what grading crews do all day unless someone is deliberately managing it.
  • Resale trails Bobcat, Cat and Deere, so part of the purchase-price advantage is handed back at trade-in rather than kept.
  • At 10,610 lb it has outgrown the 12,000 lb trailer a lot of owners step up from, and with a bucket and forks aboard the rig needs rethinking.

What buyers ask

Why does it show 4,500 lb when a similar Bobcat or Deere shows much less?
Because the two numbers are not measured the same way. Case states rated operating capacity at 50 percent of tipping load, while most of the industry states it at 35 percent, which keeps more in reserve. Case publishes the 35 percent number as well: 3,150 lb. That figure is identical to a John Deere 331 P-Tier's, which tells you far more about how the two machines compare than the headline does.
Which high-flow option should I order?
If you plan to run a cold planer or a large mulcher, the enhanced high-flow package at 35.0 gpm and 4,000 psi is the one, because those attachments are usually limited by pressure rather than volume. The ordinary high-flow option gives more flow - 39.5 gpm - at the standard 3,450 psi. Neither can be added by a dealer afterwards, so this decision has to be made at order time.
Does it need DEF?
Yes. The 90 hp engine in this machine is listed with SCR aftertreatment, unlike the 74 hp B-Series models which use a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst and no DEF at all. If a DEF tank and its sensors are something you specifically want to avoid, the TV370B gives up 90 hp but keeps the simpler emissions setup.
Is a cab included?
Not as standard. Case specifies the base machine with a canopy and a suspension seat, and lists the enclosed cab among the options along with high-flow hydraulics and electro-hydraulic controls. Check what any quoted price actually includes before comparing it with a rival whose cab is standard equipment.
Is it the same as a New Holland C345?
The specifications line up - the same 4,500 lb rating, 9,000 lb tipping load, 90 hp engine and 10,610 lb operating weight - because CNH sells the platform under both badges. Worth quoting both, because the price and the dealer differ even though the machine does not, and owners consistently report that dealer support quality matters more to the ownership experience than anything on the spec sheet.
