Features At A Glance

C3.6 Stage V Engine

C3.6 Stage V Engine

The Cat® C3.6 engine meets EU Stage V emissions standards while delivering up to a 10% fuel efficiency improvement compared to the previous model. The aftertreatment system is completely maintenance free with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and a fit for life Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system. This new engine delivers power and torque density as per the C4.4 engine installed in the previous model.

Improved Operator Comfort

Pilot hoe controls are an optional upgrade on your 434. These controls mounted on fully adjustable pods offer the operator finer controls while giving improved ergonomics and comfort.

Greater Lifting Performance

The option of a larger boom cylinder will give greater lifting performance on the back of the 434 machine.

Powershift Transmission Option

The four speed powershift transmission, improves operator comfort by utilizing the Power Shuttle Lever to shift gears. There is no floor-mounted gear shift lever, adding to the already spacious work environment.

Interactive Display Screens

The choice of either a soft key or touchscreen display screen gives the operator information at the touch of their fingertips. Machine Security Software is embedded into the display screen as well as notifications on service intervals.

Excavator Style Boom

The Excavator Style Boom is iconic to the Cat backhoe loader (BHL). This gives the operator more dig depth and reach when working around obstacles meaning less repositioning of the machine is required.

Powerful and Efficient Hydraulics

The load sensing hydraulic system coupled with a variable displacement piston pump deliver powerful hydraulics when the operator really requires it.

Power Management Modes

The operator can choose between Eco Mode, Standard Mode or Standard Plus dependent on job and site conditions. Eco Mode will save the operator fuel, lowering their owning and operating costs, where Standard Plus Mode will give more speed and power when time or tough ground conditions demand this.

Product Link™

Product Link™ comes as standard on the Cat BHL. Many features exist through Product Link including fuel burn and location allowing the owner to access all data to help increase productivity while reducing costs.
