Introduction
Caterpillar Competitive/Comparative

The 365CL is the successor of the 365BL Series II. The The PC650-7 is a heavy-duty version of the PC600-7. The
365CL meets the EPA Tier II Emission Regulations as PC650-7/PC600-7 are the successor of the PC600-6/PC650-6
standard. The engine horsepower and hydraulic performance and were introduced in Japan on Sept. '03. The engine and
are the same as the 365BL. engine horsepower are the same as the former models.
