Tata Hitachi NX 50
Pros
- With ~5.8 m max digging/dump height, it competes well with similar 5 ton machines.
- 5.19 ton operating weight makes it maneuverable on tight sites yet substantial enough for utility, landscaping, and light construction.
- Dual axial piston pumps and decent implement flow (~84 L/min) provide smooth, predictable action — appropriate for breakers, augers, and common attachments.
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.
