Komatsu PC 225 LC
Pros
- The ~165 HP engine provides solid torque and power for deep-digging and medium to heavy excavation works such as foundation, quarrying, trenching, and loading.
- Komatsu excavators are known globally for robust build quality, longevity, and reliability in tough jobsite conditions.
- Modern cabins (air-conditioned, ergonomic controls) reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity on long shifts.
JCB JS81
Pros
- Capable of ~7.1 m digging height and ~6.4 m reach — good for site work, trenches, and moderate depth excavation.
- Powered by ~76 HP Kirloskar engine with robust bucket/dipper tear‑out forces, delivering decent performance vs competitors.
- JCB has extensive dealer/service coverage in India, making parts and support easier compared to some smaller brands.
