Pros
- Excellent for tight sites (small footprint) and urban construction.
- Reliable Yanmar engine with decent torque for its class.
- Dual variable pumps allow smooth implement control.
JCB NXT 150
Pros
- Larger 0.75 m³ bucket gives good material movement per cycle.
- Deep digging (~5.2 m) and high reach (~8 m) handles typical construction tasks comfortably.
- 600 mm wide shoe tracks and reinforced links help stability, especially in sloppy/soft conditions.
