JCB 385LC
Pros
- High Engine Power & Torque: 284 HP and 1150 Nm deliver strong digging performance and lifting ability for tough jobs.
- Large Bucket Range: 1.4 – 2.3 m³ bucket capacity supports varied applications from heavy earthmoving to quarry tasks
- Powerful Hydraulic Flow: ~608 L/min combined flow promotes responsive hydraulics and faster cycle times.
Komatsu PC1250-8R
Pros
- Komatsu SAA6D170E‑5 produces 514 kW (688 HP) @ ~1800 rpm for strong digging/hoisting performance.
- Long boom + optional arm lengths give deep reach (~9–11.6 m) and wide working envelope (~15–17 m) for loading and heavy excavation tasks.
- Supports 3.4 m³ minimum up to ~7 m³ (shovel configurations) bucket capacities for big cycle productivity.
