- Heavy‑duty steel bodywork and ROPS/TOPS canopy protect the machine and operator.
ORANGE OR-EX 0.6
Pros
- Ex‑showroom price in India ~ ₹1.75 – 2.25 lakh for the OR‑EX 0.6, making it extremely affordable for basic digging tasks.
- Small engine and simple hydraulics mean low fuel use and easier maintenance compared with larger machines
- Small size and low weight make it ideal for very tight spaces, gardens, farms, light landscaping and utility trenches.
