JCB 35Z HD
Pros
- Efficient & Compact Design — Zero‑tail swing and compact build make it ideal for working in confined urban or tight job sites.
- Good Digging Force — Strong bucket breakout force (~32.4 kN), helping with earthmoving tasks.
- Operator Features — Options like AC cabin and GPS enhance comfort and usability (though not always standard)
LiuGong 921 Di
Pros
- Offers respectable digging depth (~5.9 m) and horizontal reach (~9.2 m), making it suitable for medium‑sized construction and earthmoving tasks like trenching, foundation work, and site prep.
- The boom and reach balance enables both digging and loading without needing heavy long‑reach modifications.
- Compared with heavier or lighter models, the 921Di’s boom reach fits well in the 20‑22 t excavator segment
