JCB 100C1
Pros
- It’s designed as one of JCB’s largest compact excavators (~10 t class), balancing power with maneuverability on tight urban and utility jobs.
- Features heavy-duty boom and dipper with internal baffle reinforcement and robot-welded high-tensile steel, improving durability over simple minis.
- New reduced-loss hydraulics put less demand on the engine, improving efficiency and fuel economy.
Sona RDT-17
Pros
- At ~1.7 t operating weight, easy to transport and use in tight areas.
- Reliable engine brand commonly used in mini excavators.
- 1.8 m digging depth and ~2.7 m height are reasonable for 1.7 t machines
