Tata Hitachi ZX870-5G
Pros
- Uses Isuzu BB‑6WG1XQA‑04 6‑cyl turbocharged engine producing ~483 HP / 360 kW @ 1,800 rpm, which gives strong performance in heavy digging cycles.
- Dual high‑capacity main pumps (~1,024 L/min total) provide robust flow for demanding implement actions and attachments.
- Multiple boom/arm combinations expand working range from trenching to deep/exceeding reach applications.
Tata Hitachi EX 215LC Prime
Pros
- The Cummins 6BT5.9C diesel with ~140 hp and ~566 Nm delivers dependable power and torque for typical medium‑duty excavation tasks.
- A bucket capacity up to ~1.70 m³ helps with larger material handling and improved cycle efficiency.
- With a boom of ~5.68 m and ~9.25 m reach, the machine suits general earthwork, trenching, foundation digging, and site preparation.
