OVERVIEW
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Operator Station
- 74 dB(A) internal sound level across the range no matter the engine option.
- Heated seat to keep the operator warm no matter what the conditions are.
- Fantastic layout of switches and controls provide an ergonomic operating environment.
- A redesigned roof cab provides the operator with superior visibility to the loader at maximum dump height, from the comfort of the seat.
- Secure your investment with the Cat Backhoe Loader security system designed specifically for the Cat Backhoe Loader, this device will keep your investment secure, while providing easy access for up to 25 specified people.
- The loader control now gives you more power at your fingertips: Differential lock, transmission neutralizer and auxiliary control.
- The cab design now incorporates a flat profile, and flat glass to ensure replacement and security is as easy as possible.
The 422F2 is fitted with mechanical controls providing low effort operation, with the ability to choose between ISO (Excavator) or SAE (Backhoe) control patterns. Providing easy and safe operation for operators of any experience or ability.
Power Train
- The choice of a 56.5 kW or 68.5 kW EU Stage II power unit provides excellent performance for all applications.
- Outstanding fuel economy, contributes to low owning and operating costs.
- A robust power pack, this engine has been seen in many divisions of Cat for a number of years and remains today a very popular option, delivering power when it is needed most.
- Proven world-class manufacturing and core engine designs ensure reliability, quiet operation, and many hours of productive life.
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 provides 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 422F2 boasts a constant mesh, synchronized 4 forward and 4 reverse mechanical transmission. Capable of speeds up to 40 km/h, directional changes are made from the column mounted shuttle and gear changes using the floor mounted shift lever.
Hydraulic boosted brakes are featured as standard on the 422F2. The hydraulic assistance reduced operator effort. The system produces the same braking performance, with less force exerted, resulting in quicker braking reactions and less operator fatigue.
Hydraulics
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.
- The 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.
Single Tilt Loader
The proven design of the F2 loader provides ultimate performance. This machine makes light work of lifting and loading.
- Single tilt loader from Cat ensures excellent performance, with brilliant breakout forces and lift capacities, combined with excellent height and reach.
- 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.
Backhoe
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 422F2 is capable of high levels of productivity with minimum effort. The boom is a narrow design, ensuring maximum visibility to the work tool and ground.
The 422F2 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.
The F2 Series Side Shift Frame has exterior locking clamps, with no disassembly needed when servicing. The frame is a solid design with E-Coat protection, this prevents material build up in the frame and reduces the risk of rust, increasing the life of the frame.

The 422F2 is equipped with Cat Cushion Swing, which enables very fast trenching by damping the boom oscillation during trenching cycles.
![]()
Provides a hydraulic service to allow the operator to easily position the backhoe across the full width of the Side Shift Frame. Ideal for use in areas with minimal space and utility applications such as gas, electrical, and telecoms.

Serviceability
Caterpillar understands that the easier a task is the more likely it is to be done. We have ensured that to service the Cat Backhoe Loader is as simple as it can be. All daily check points are grouped together and are easy to access. Sealed for life axles and driveshafts remove the need for operators to grease the time consuming and awkward areas below the machine.

The Extendible Stick (E-Stick) is designed to be self lubricating, to minimize the need for operator interaction. The stabilizers and E-Stick all have easily adjustable wear pads that require no disassembly. When wear pad adjustments are necessary, the adjustment bolts are easy to access, taking minutes to complete the adjustment.
