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
SANY SY220C-9LC
Pros
- Competitive power & size — ~155 hp in 22 t class suitable for general earthmoving, trenching, site prep, utilities and drainage work.
- Strong Mitsubishi engine base — reputable diesel engines help with durability and serviceability.
- Efficient hydraulics — twin pump system with good flow (~2×220 L/min) for smooth implement control.
