Particulars Komatsu PC81 JCB 81
Overview Summary

The Komatsu PC81 and JCB 81 are both small excavators designed for light to medium earthmoving and construction tasks. While the Komatsu PC81 boasts standard features like an AC cabin and GPS, and a smaller swing radius, the JCB 81 is more powerful with a higher HP engine, greater fuel efficiency, and a larger fuel tank.

Komatsu PC81 Small Excavator

Pros:
  • Standard AC cabin and GPS for comfort and convenience
  • Good engine power of 60 HP for efficient operation
  • Bucket digging force of 47.1 kN suitable for light earthmoving tasks
  • Has a smaller minimum swing radius (1750 mm) which is ideal for tight spaces
Cons:
  • Lower maximum dumping height compared to JCB 81
  • Operating weight is less than that of JCB 81, which may affect stability
  • Fuel tank capacity is smaller in comparison to JCB 81

JCB 81 Small Excavator

Pros:
  • Higher engine power rating at 76 HP and better fuel efficiency at 5.5 L/hour
  • Larger fuel tank capacity of 164 L for extended operation times
  • Greater hydraulic main pump flow (2 x 70.3 L/min) which may indicate more efficient hydraulic operations
  • Increased bucket digging force (56.4 kN) for more robust digging capability
Cons:
  • AC cabin is optional, which might add to the cost if required
  • Higher gradeability of 70% while potentially advantageous, may not be necessary for all operations
  • The operating weight is larger, which could affect transportability

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

Choosing between the Komatsu PC81 and the JCB 81 should be based on specific needs. For longer operating times and better digging capabilities, the JCB 81 might be the better choice. However, if you require a machine that comes standard with comfort features and is more agile in confined spaces, the Komatsu PC81 would be advantageous.
