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.
Tata Hitachi Zaxis 23 U
Pros
- Zero Tail Swing: The rear of the machine stays within the track width, making it perfect for working next to walls or in narrow lanes.
- Versatility: Equipped with a boom swing feature, allowing you to dig offset to the machine's path (useful for digging foundations along walls).
- Ease of Transport: At roughly 2.3 tons, it can be easily transported on a standard small truck or trailer.
