Particulars Kobelco SK80 Tata Hitachi EX 70 Prime
Overview Summary

When comparing the Tata Hitachi EX 70 Prime and Kobelco SK80 excavators, both provide efficient performance for their intended light earthmoving and construction tasks, but with unique features that set them apart. The Tata Hitachi EX 70 Prime offers a standard GPS and a larger variety of bucket capacities, while the Kobelco SK80 boasts greater bucket digging force and a higher engine displacement.

Tata Hitachi EX 70 Prime

Pros:
  • Compact and versatile which is good for construction and landscaping tasks
  • GPS system comes as a standard feature
  • High bucket digging force (47 kN) for its class
  • Optional AC Cabin for operator comfort
  • Lower ground bearing pressure (33.3 kPa) potentially means less ground disturbance
Cons:
  • TATA engine might be less familiar to some users compared to international brands
  • Engine displacement not specified
  • Travel tracking force not provided
  • Less warranty time span compared to Kobelco SK80 (1 Yr. / 2000 hr. versus 1 Yr. / 2500 hr.)

Kobelco SK80

Pros:
  • Strong bucket digging force (52.7 kN) for effective earthmoving tasks
  • Greater engine displacement (3.319 L) may suggest robust power delivery
  • Higher max tracking force (82 kN) indicates strong traction
  • Good gradeability (58%) which means improved climbing performance
  • Longer undercarriage (2830 mm) may provide better stability
Cons:
  • GPS not available, which could be a downside for fleet management
  • Less reach compared to EX 70 Prime (6470 mm vs 6800 mm)
  • Higher minimum swing radius could affect working in confined spaces
  • Absence of detailed warranty coverage information

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

The best choice between these two machines will depend on the specific requirements of the job and operator preferences. If technology integration and a range of bucket capacity options are paramount, go for the Tata Hitachi EX 70 Prime. However, if raw earthmoving power and engine performance are more critical, the Kobelco SK80 might be the better option.
