The F2 Series of Cat Backhoe Loaders boast Heavy Duty Cat Axles

• Providing high durability, low noise levels and superb traction on uneven surfaces.
• Three chamber system provide constant lubrication of the heavy duty running gear and bearings on all gradients.
• 100% locking differential is fitted as standard on the Cat Backhoe Loader ensuring maximum traction in all conditions.
• The 444F2 is an equal sized tire machine which delivers many additional benefits: Flotation and low ground pressure, increased loader performance and all wheel steer.

This six speed transmission will perfectly match itself to the application, carefully selecting the appropriate gear whether you're driving between job sites or using the loader function. Now the gear box has been tweaked, smoothing gear shifts and extending the top gear providing a more efficient and comfortable driving experience.

Intelligent hydraulics provide the right amount of power at the right time. Load sensing, closed center hydraulic system, actively matches hydraulic power and flow, allowing full hydraulic forces at any engine speed.

• Flow-sharing valves actively manage the flow of oil between each function of the machine. When the operator demands multiple operations the machine responds, providing smooth, effortless operation.
• Electronic Torque Limiter on the machine helps to provide perfect synchronization between the engine, transmission and hydraulic system.
• Cat Backhoe Loaders have always provided a superior solution and this machine is no different. A high capacity variable displacement piston pump allows for perfect matching of power and operator demand, providing power when it is needed as well as great fuel economy.
• The operator has the ability to adjust the flow to the auxiliary lines. This means the machine can be tailored to the operators preference or to perfectly match machine and work tool.

The proven design of the F2 loader provides ultimate performance. This machine makes light work of lifting and loading.

• Parallel lift loader arms offer excellent forward visibility and self leveling, ensuring excellent material retention throughout the lift and lower cycles.
• Ride Control option offers loader suspension to improve ride comfort when moving around the job site or transporting the machine on the road. There is also the added benefit of increased material retention providing an invaluable boost in productivity.
• The Return to Dig system returns the bucket to level, great for applications with repetitive work cycles.
• An optional hydraulic Quick Coupler provides safe and simple exchange of work tools. The quick coupler also allows access to a wider range of Cat Work Tools.

Whether close-up truck loading or digging over obstacles, the iconic excavator style boom tackles the toughest jobs with ease. Combine this versatility with powerful breakout forces, controllability, a flow-sharing hydraulic system and the 444F2 is capable of high levels of productivity with minimum effort. The boom is a narrow design that ensures maximum visibility to the work tool and ground with the addition of a 4.3 m or 4.9 m stick option.

The 444F2 is available with an extendible stick that increases dig depth and reach capability increasing the machines versatility and utilization, reducing the amount of machine repositioning and therefore reducing site damage. A sliding inner section design helps to ensure the wear pads remain as dirt free as possible, extending adjustment and replacement intervals. Auxiliary lines, for operating hydraulic work tools, have been routed so that they are protected from damage when working in the narrowest of trenches.
