SANY SY38U Pro
Pros
- Compact yet capable: Good sized machine for urban jobs and landscaping, similar to other mini excavators in the 3.8 t class.
- 28 hp power: Enough power for typical digging, trenching, and utility work.
- Works well in tight spaces: Likely zero/minimum tail swing and rubber tracks help with maneuverability.
CAT 320D
Pros
- Proven Cat C6.4 ACERT engine with solid torque and power for mid‑size excavator tasks (earthmoving, trenching, loading).
- 5.7 m boom and ~9+ m digging height help in both shallow and medium depth work.
- Caterpillar’s dealer network is extensive — spare parts availability is usually strong globally.
