The Cat 950 series (2006–2025) covers four distinct trims — G, GC, H, and M — aimed at different fleet priorities. Operating weights range from 18.1–20.1 t, bucket sizes from 2.7–4.4 m³, and net power sits around 168–186 kW (225–249 hp). The G and H focus on heavy-duty production, the GC trims costs for lighter applications, and the M brings modern tech with payload weighing, enhanced hydraulics, and better fuel burn rates.

Cat 950 expert review
Overview
Mid-size loader balancing capacity and maneuverability. GC suits low-cost utility, G/H bring proven durability, M focuses on efficiency and integrated tech.
Pros Wide trim range from utility to heavy production.
Strong breakout and stability, good resale value.
Strong breakout and stability, good resale value.
Cons GC lacks advanced hydraulics and tech.
G and H less fuel efficient than M.
G and H less fuel efficient than M.
Performance & Efficiency
High breakout across variants. M benefits from adaptive hydraulics, auto-dig, and payload weighing for fewer passes and lower fuel burn. G/H are simpler and tolerant of mixed fuel quality.
In Comparison
Volvo L120H offers smoother hydrostatic feel; Komatsu WA470 matches breakout but carries more weight. Cat’s service network remains a buying advantage.
Verdict
GC for lowest entry cost, G/H for durability, M for efficiency and tech integration.
