JCB NXT 290 LR
Pros
- Very deep dig capability — class-leading reach (~17.3 m) for deep excavation, water work, river dredging, and civil engineering.
- High operating weight (~47 t) gives stability and strength for heavy long-reach operations.
- Suitable for specialized deep-dig jobs that standard excavators can’t reach.
Tata Hitachi ZAXIS 870 5G
Pros
- Strong power + high hydraulic flow enables fast, powerful digging cycles and supports heavy attachments.
- Its HIOS IIIB hydraulic system with ECO mode reduces fuel consumption (up to ~4–10% vs older models), lowering operating costs.
- Designed for mining and heavy construction with a strengthened upper structure and reliable undercarriage.
