SANY SY20U
Pros
- Zero-tail swing design makes it ideal for tight, confined job sites such as urban construction, landscaping, housing sites, and utilities work.
- Load-sensing hydraulics deliver smooth flow and good fuel use for a mini excavator of this size.
- • Works well for small earthmoving, trenching, irrigation, and utility trench jobs where a bigger excavator isn’t practical.
Sona RDT-17
Pros
- At ~1.7 t operating weight, easy to transport and use in tight areas.
- Reliable engine brand commonly used in mini excavators.
- 1.8 m digging depth and ~2.7 m height are reasonable for 1.7 t machines
