Sona SDT-10
Pros
- Ultra‑compact & lightweight — easy to transport and operate in tight spaces (750 kg class).
- Lower initial cost and operating cost vs larger excavators.
- Good digging depth (~1.65 m) for its class.
SANY SY35U
Pros
- At ~3.8 t operating weight, it strikes a balance between power and maneuverability for urban/medium jobs.
- Makes working in tight spaces easier — minimizes side‑overhang when swinging.
- Powered by a Yanmar 3TNV88F (~18.2 kW / ~24–28 hp) with efficient load‑sensing hydraulics.
