Tata Hitachi EX 70 Super Plus
Pros
- Good power for size: 55 HP is respectable for a 7‑ton class — strong for medium earthmoving.
- Decent boom height & reach: ~7.5 m cutting height gives flexibility in loading trucks/stockpiles
- Relatively simple to operate & maintain: Tata Hitachi’s wide dealer network in India
JCB JS81
Pros
- Capable of ~7.1 m digging height and ~6.4 m reach — good for site work, trenches, and moderate depth excavation.
- Powered by ~76 HP Kirloskar engine with robust bucket/dipper tear‑out forces, delivering decent performance vs competitors.
- JCB has extensive dealer/service coverage in India, making parts and support easier compared to some smaller brands.
