Following the topic from last week about the Track Type Loader, which are sharing the same product line number with the Wheel Loader. How is it possible to identify them on a list of machines? To find out you need to pay attention to the last number, if it's 0-2-4-6-8 Ex= 950, 988, 992 we are talking about Wheel Loaders if it's 1-3-5-7-9 Ex= 931, 953, 977 it's Track Loaders But ⚠️ There are exceptions ⚠️ 🚨 907, 993 and 995 are Wheel Loaders 😉

The first Caterpillar wheel loader the 944A was introduced in 1959 with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, the smaller 922A and the larger 966A followed a year later. All 3 models had rear wheel steering. The first articulated wheel loader the 950 was introduced in 1965.
