CS-423E & CS-433E Differentiation

Engine
CS-423E - 3054C naturally aspirated engine with 83 hp CS-433E - 3054C turbocharged engine with 100 hp
Both models have the same grade climbing capability, but the CS-423E, with less power, cannot climb the same slope at the same speed as the CS433E.

Features
Tilting steering column CS-433E only Padfoot shell-kit both models Leveling blade CS-433E only

Target Application
CS-423E Construction projects with low to moderate slopes at low altitudes. > Machine of choice where price and lower O&O costs are the primary buying criteria. CS-433E Construction projects with steeper slopes, higher altitudes or where a leveling blade is required. > Machine of choice where overall productivity and versatility are the primary buying criteria.
