Kat – other excavators: the collective page of backhoe loaders under the register abbreviation Kat, the 920 and WZ30-25, Deutz diesel engine, 71 kW, or 95 hp
This page gathers the backhoe loaders the register lists under the abbreviation Kat without assigning them to a named range: the 920 and WZ30-25 models. A backhoe loader combines a loading bucket at the front and a slewing digging arm with a bucket at the rear on one chassis, covering two work steps that would otherwise need two separate machines. Both machines listed here are fitted with a Deutz diesel engine, the German engine maker from Cologne that supplies air- and water-cooled diesel engines to construction equipment from numerous manufacturers and is known for its robust, low-maintenance design.

The register lists here 2 versions with 71 kW, or 95 hp, from Deutz diesel engines.
Backhoe loaders of this power class are common on smaller building sites, in groundworks, in road maintenance and in municipal use, where one machine is meant to handle both loading and digging work and manoeuvrability tips the balance against dedicated wheeled excavators or wheel loaders. Rental yards often favour such backhoe loaders as an all-purpose machine for short-term jobs, where buying a specialised machine would not pay off.
On used backhoe loaders of this class, the operating hours and maintenance state of the Deutz engine, wear on bucket teeth and bushings, the tightness of the hydraulic cylinders, and the condition of the tyres and brakes all matter. The alignment of the digging arm and stabilisers and the condition of the cab mounts are also worth checking; spare parts for the Deutz engine are well available through the independent engine-service network.

What to check before buying
