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.
Tata Hitachi ZAXIS 470H
Pros
- Competitive price in its class (~₹1.17 – 1.20 Cr range) — often lower than some rivals (e.g., Kobelco SK520XDLC)
- Large fuel tank (705 L) for extended operation without frequent refills
- Decent hydraulic flow (~720 L/min) for heavy work and attachments
