Cat 906 expert review
Overview
Compact loader for landscaping, municipal, and farm work. Tight turning, parallel-lift arms, and good visibility make it versatile year-round.
Parallel lift improves load stability.
Hydrostatic drive not ideal for long travel.
Performance & Efficiency
Hydrostatic transmission makes it nimble. Parallel-lift arms keep loads level. Load-sensing hydraulics improve control and fuel efficiency.
In Comparison
Volvo L25F matches size with more bucket capacity; JCB 406 offers more clearance but less refined cab.
Verdict
Best suited for operators needing agility over volume in compact loader work.
