ACE AX 130 vs Mahindra Earthmaster SXE: Which One to Buy?

The ACE AX 130 digs harder and lifts more, with a bucket digging force of 5700 kgf and a bigger 79 HP Kirloskar engine. The Mahindra Earthmaster SXE runs a smaller, more fuel-efficient 55 HP engine and carries a bigger bucket and shovel, so it moves more material per scoop even with less digging force.

A contractor doing hard digging in tough soil may prefer the ACE AX 130 for its stronger digging force and bigger fuel tank, which means fewer refuelling stops. A buyer who wants lower running cost and more loading volume per pass may prefer the Mahindra Earthmaster SXE. Both come with an optional AC cabin.
