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.
Tata Hitachi EX215lc-SLR
Pros
- Budget‑friendly for its class — Usually lower price range compared with some competitors like higher‑power excavators.
- Good torque for general digging & dredging work (strong engine twist power).
- Relatively large bucket capacity (~0.5 m³) for efficient material movement.
