Closing Recommendation
Both machines suit small digging work, so pick by your ground and how far you are from a pump. Choose the JCB 35Z HD when you dig hard, dry or stony soil and work on jobs far from a diesel pump, because its stronger digging force and bigger tank keep the machine working through a long day without stopping. Choose the Tata Hitachi ZAXIS 33U when your work is farm ponds, canal banks and sloping rural ground, where its better climbing and higher torque help every day, and when you want a lower cost to buy. Ask a nearby owner of each model what he spends on diesel and repairs. So match the machine to your work: 35Z HD for hard digging far from a pump, ZAXIS 33U for slopes and lower cost.
