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 220lc ultra
Pros
- Powerful engine & torque – ~168 HP from an Isuzu engine gives good digging and lifting capacity.
- Strong hydraulic system – high flow and pressure supports heavier attachments like breakers, augers, and thumbs.
- Bucket versatility – options ~0.9–1.22 m³ suit medium earthmoving and loading tasks.
