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.
