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.
