Pros
- 48 hp (35.7 kW), Stage‑compliant engine with ~143 Nm torque helps keep jobs moving.
- Excellent for working close to walls/obstacles in confined sites without damaging structures.
- 3.8 m digging depth and ~6.1 m reach offers versatility across trenching and site prep
Tata Hitachi Zaxis 80
Pros
- 7 m reach and ~8.2 m cutting height help with truck loading and general excavation.
- Counted as a mid‑size excavator, it’s stable yet not too heavy for site access.
- Suitable for attachments like breakers, grapples, and augers with decent auxiliary flow (~178.5 L/min referenced).
