Caterpillar Inc.

The new Cat F2 Series Backhoe Loaders build

upon the solid performance, reliability, and

durability of previous F Series models with

updated engines that meet U.S. EPA Tier 4

Final emissions standards. These fuel-efficient

machines also feature new operator’s sta-

tions, along with further enhancements to

improve performance and productivity. The

F2 Series includes the 416F2, 420F2, 430F2,

and the new 415F2.

The 415F2 uses a Cat C3.4B engine, rated

at 68 net horsepower, and the 416F2, 420F2,

and 430F2 use the Cat C4.4 ACERT engine,

with net-horsepower ratings (SAE J1349) of

87, 93, and 108, respectively. The 415F2 does

not require diesel exhaust fluid, a conve-

nience for buyers such as rental firms and

governmental agencies.

All of the new F2 Series models have

extremely powerful implement hydraulic

systems and redesigned hose routing for

extendible sticks, adding to overall reli-

ability and durability. Using a load-sensing,

variable-displacement piston pump that

provides full lifting and digging forces at all

engine speeds, hydraulic flow is matched to

work demands for highly efficient operation.

All models can be equipped with auxiliary

hydraulics, including a third-function loader

valve and a six-function backhoe valve.

The redesigned F2 Series operator’s station

has ample legroom with air-suspension seats

for exceptional comfort. A new rear window

design also improves trench sight lines.

The 420F2 and 430F2 continue to be avail-

able with both single-tilt and Integrated Tool

Carrier (IT) front linkage. The IT machines

have a standard hydraulic loader quick

coupler. New for the IT models are twist-to-

connect hydraulic quick disconnect fittings

that can be connected under pressure. Four-

wheel drive is standard for the 430F2 and

available for other models.
