One thing to know before comparing any advertised figure between these two: Wacker Neuson rate track-loader capacity at 50 per cent of tipping load, where most makers use 35. The capacity rows above are recomputed on one basis so they are comparable, but the numbers on the brochures are not. Why that happens.
Which models actually line up
Machines within 12 per cent of each other on capacity, measured the same way, and of the same type. These are the pairs worth worth comparing directly.
