Closing Recommendation
Both machines come from the same maker one step apart, so pick by your ground and how hard you work the machine. Choose the Hyundai R220LS SMART Plus when you dig hard, packed soil or work on canal banks, embankments and slopes, because the stronger digging force and the longer undercarriage let you work steadily where a shorter machine has to be careful. Choose the Hyundai R210 SMART X Plus when your work changes through the year, the machine runs part of the month, or you simply want a lower cost with a wide range of jobs it can take. Both share the same dealer, so service should not decide this. So match the machine to your work: R210 SMART X Plus for varied jobs at lower cost, R220LS SMART Plus for hard ground and slope work.
