    Particulars JCB 81 Komatsu PC71
    Overview Summary

    The JCB 81 is a powerful and efficient small excavator that is suitable for compact earthmoving and light construction tasks, while the Komatsu PC71 is ideal for compact construction and landscaping tasks with a focus on precision and efficiency. The choice between the two will depend on specific needs such as power, budget, and comfort features.

    JCB 81
    Pros:
    • Higher engine power of 76 HP for potentially better performance
    • Bigger fuel tank capacity at 164 L for longer operation time
    • Optional AC cabin for operator comfort
    • Greater bucket digging force of 56.4 kN for stronger digging capability
    • Larger bucket capacity range (0.24 - 0.32 m³) for more efficient material handling
    Cons:
    • Higher price range of ₹ 34-35 Lakhs
    • Slightly heavier operating weight may restrict mobility in certain conditions
    • Lower max tracking force (compared to Komatsu PC71)
    Komatsu PC71
    Pros:
    • More affordable with a price range of ₹ 24-26 Lakhs
    • Standard AC cabin included
    • Higher ground bearing pressure may indicate better stability
    • Travel speed is lower, which could suggest better control in precision work
    • Longer warranty of 1 Yr. / 3000 hr. offering peace of mind and potentially lower maintenance costs
    Cons:
    • Lower engine power of 60 HP could mean less robust performance
    • Smaller fuel tank capacity at 130 L may require more frequent refueling
    • Reduced bucket digging force of 47.1 kN might limit digging capabilities in tough conditions
    Pros:
    Cons:
    Closing Recommendation

    If budget is of concern and a more fuel-efficient operation with a comfortable standard AC cabin and a longer warranty is preferred, Komatsu PC71 may be the better option. However, if greater digging power and fuel tank capacity are a priority for extended operation and performance, then the JCB 81 would be the preferred choice despite its higher price.
