Cat 931 expert review

Reviewed by Hussain E. on February 4, 2026

Overview

The Cat 931 delivers 46.23 kW net power with 4,853 kg breakout force and a 0.84 cu m bucket for dependable crawler loader work.

Pros Excellent traction, simple mechanics, reliable breakout.
Cons Slow travel, dated cab comfort.

Efficiency

Tracked stability favors steady pushing and backfilling over fast cycles.

In Cabin

Functional cab with good bucket visibility but higher noise than modern loaders.

In Comparison

Between John Deere 850 and 855, the 931 sits as the balanced middle option.

Final Verdict

Rated 4 stars, the Cat 931 fits site prep and soft-ground loading in the AED 182,000–389,000 range.
