Spec SheetStandard vs. E-Stick — one platform, two configs
Standard stick or extendable dipper?
The CAT 420F platform supports both standard and extendable dipper configurations. The standard stick gives you 4.3 m of dig depth — enough for most utility work. Add the E-Stick and you get nearly 5.5 m, which handles deep trenching without bringing in a full excavator.
| Configuration | Dig Depth | Models In Stock | Typical Jobs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Center-pivot | 4,360 mm / 14.3 ft | 420F | General construction, utility work, trenching, loading, roadside maintenance |
| E-Stick extendable | 5,441 mm / 17.9 ft | 420F (extendable dipper) | Deep trenching, foundation digging, extra reach applications |

Field Note 01
Two machines in one: why a backhoe loader
A backhoe loader puts a front bucket and a rear excavator arm on one chassis. On a typical job site, the operator digs trenches with the backhoe, then spins the seat around and loads the spoils with the front bucket — no need for two separate machines. For utilities, municipal work, farming, and roadside maintenance, this dual-purpose design saves on transport, fuel, and operator cost.
Field Note 02
CAT 420F: what makes it different
The 420F uses a one-piece mainframe (no center joint to wear), Cat C4.4 ACERT engine with load-sensing hydraulics, and an optional extendable dipper that adds over a meter of extra reach. The pilot-operated backhoe controls give fine metering for precision trenching — important when you're working near existing utilities. See our brand comparison guide for how CAT stacks up against other manufacturers.

FAQUsed backhoe loader questions
Backhoe loader buying questions
What is a backhoe loader (两头忙) and what can it do?+
A backhoe loader — called 两头忙 in Chinese — is a single machine with a loader bucket on the front and a backhoe arm on the rear. It digs trenches with the backhoe, then turns around to load material with the front bucket. One machine replaces a small excavator + a wheel loader on job sites like utilities, roadwork, farming, and light construction.
How much does a new CAT 420F backhoe loader cost from China?+
Our current stock — a brand-new 2025 CAT 420F with 0 hours — is listed at US$26,000 single unit, US$25,000 for 3+ units wholesale. This is substantially below new-dealer pricing in most markets. The unit is physically in our yard with serial plate confirmation available.
What's the difference between standard stick and extendable dipper (E-Stick)?+
The standard stick reaches 4,360 mm (14.3 ft) dig depth — adequate for most utility trenching and foundation work. The E-Stick extends the dipper by roughly 1.1 m for a total dig depth of 5,441 mm (17.9 ft), which is useful for deep sewer/water line excavation. The 420F can be configured either way — confirm which configuration you need.
Can I ship a backhoe loader in a container?+
A backhoe loader typically ships on a flat rack container or RO-RO vessel due to its dimensions (longer than a skid steer, shorter than a full excavator). We prepare invoice, packing list, and customs documents. Freight cost depends on your destination port — contact us for a door-to-port estimate.
What should I check on a new backhoe loader before paying?+
For a new/zero-hour unit: serial plate and manufacturing date confirmation, engine start and idle test, hydraulic function check (loader raise/lower, backhoe swing, dipper extend/retract, stabilizer operation), tire condition (new tires expected at 0 hours), and paint/finish check for transit damage. We provide photos and video before deposit — third-party inspection can be arranged.
