JCB 37C HD
Pros
- Compact yet powerful for its class — good balance of size and performance for tight zones.
- Fuel‑efficient Perkins engine (25.3 HP) for lower running costs.
- Superior bucket digging force (~32.4 kN) useful for harder soils.
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
