    Can't tell you about the oversize load, but I can say the cp/Cs-433 are very top heavy for there size and when turning get a good lean when at speed. The compaction factor is hard to say what will be better without knowing what your compacting, material, compaction runs, how long you have to compact, size of the job or area it needs to work in. A 563 is a good unit it would be my pick if you can get one used in good condition for a good price
