How the Komatsu WA320 and Caterpillar 950 compare
Both are wheel loaders in a broadly similar class, which is exactly why buyers cross-shop them. Here is the honest truth: on a used machine, condition, meter hours, service history, attachments and how good the local dealer and parts support are will decide your ownership experience far more than any brochure figure. That is why we compare them on real market value instead of quoting spec numbers that say little about a specific used unit.
What actually drives the value
Hours, tire condition, transmission health, and bucket/coupler setup drive value; quick-couplers and ride control add a premium.
How to choose between them
Inspect both against the wheel loader buying guide, then compare their real market values above and the total cost of each (including tires or undercarriage, attachments and any deferred service). Where one has stronger dealer and parts support in your area, that is worth real money over the life of the machine. Whichever you choose, verify its serial or VIN before you pay.
