When comparing the CAT 345 GC and JCB 385LC, we see that the CAT model boasts higher engine power and a larger fixed bucket capacity which is suitable for high-load operations, while the JCB model offers a competitive price, greater bucket digging force, and detailed engine specifications.
The final recommendation would depend on the specific needs of the user. If the requirement is for heavily demanding tasks where engine power and bucket capacity are prioritized, the CAT 345 GC may be the preferred choice. However, for operations that demand high torque, superior gradeability, and a more economic upfront cost, the JCB 385LC would be a strong contender.
