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 320D3
Pros
- Strong engine performance for a 20-ton class excavator: 134 HP gross (100 kW), ~114 HP net. Great for heavy digging and lifting tasks.
- Typically well-insulated, ergonomically arranged operator cab with adjustable suspension seat, good visibility, and modern controls.
- Selectable power modes (Power, Smart, Eco) improve fuel efficiency depending on task.
