Caterpillar 320
Pros
- Strong and reliable engine performance
- Excellent fuel efficiency for its class
- Advanced hydraulic system for precision work
SANY 245C-9LR
Pros
- The long boom + arm combination gives ~15 m reach and ~12 m depth — great for dredging, riverbank jobs, slope trimming
- 140 hp Cummins engine and 220 L/min hydraulics give steady performance on extended-reach tasks without excessive lag.
- Works with breakers, augers, grapples, etc. — useful for many applications beyond just digging.
