Volvo EC650
Pros
- Large bucket capacity (~3.2–4.4 m³) suitable for heavy earthmoving and quarry work.
- Robust undercarriage and planetary final drives typical of large Volvo excavators of the era.
- Older EC650 machines often have durable components and parts that can be sourced in secondary markets.
CAT 305. 5E2
Pros
- Strong hydraulic performance & digging forces: Excellent digging and stick forces for a 5‑ton mini.
- Load‑sensing hydraulics: Smooth, responsive controls and efficient power delivery
- Durable CAT design: Heavy‑duty components and proven undercarriage.
