KUBOTA U22-3
Pros
- Small footprint and tight turning radius make it ideal for urban jobs, landscaping, and utility trenches.
- 2.39 m digging depth and 3.88 m reach cover most common mini‑excavation tasks.
- 36 L/min auxiliary flow supports small attachments (auger, breaker, etc.)
JCB 18Z
Pros
- Zero tail swing design lets you work in confined spaces without the rear counterweight hitting obstacles.
- Easy access service panels and 180° opening door make maintenance quicker.
- Heavy‑duty steel bodywork and ROPS/TOPS canopy protect the machine and operator.
