Case CX220C LC vs Tata Hitachi EX 215 LCQ Prime: Which One to Buy?

Both are 21-tonne class excavators built for construction and earthmoving work. The Case CX220C LC has a more powerful engine, a bigger fuel tank for longer shifts without a refill, and it digs into the ground with a bit more bucket force. The Tata Hitachi EX 215 LCQ Prime comes with AC cabin and GPS already fitted as standard, turns faster while repositioning on site, and is the more budget-friendly of the two.

For a buyer who wants a fully-equipped machine without paying extra for AC and GPS later, the Tata Hitachi gives more as standard and is easier on the wallet. For long, heavy shifts where fuel tank size and raw digging force matter most, the Case's bigger engine and tank help you work longer between stops. See the full Case excavator range, the Tata Hitachi excavator range, all excavators, or read our excavator applications guide.
