Particulars Komatsu PC81 Kobelco SK80
Overview Summary

The Komatsu PC81 and Kobelco SK80 are both small excavators ideal for light duty tasks. The Komatsu PC81 prioritizes lower ground pressure and includes standard AC cabin and GPS, while the Kobelco SK80 provides superior digging forces, better gradeability, and higher speed.

Komatsu PC81

Pros:
  • Designed for light earthmoving and construction with reliability and fuel efficiency
  • Standard AC cabin and GPS
  • Decent bucket digging force of 47.1 kN and arm digging force of 35.3 kN
  • Lower ground bearing pressure of 33.2 kPa may result in reduced ground damage
  • Equipped with a 60 HP engine and tracks well with a two-speed travel system
Cons:
  • Lower engine power compared to the Kobelco SK80 model (60 HP vs 46.7 HP)
  • No mentioned gradeability, which could be a downside in various terrain conditions
  • Maximum digging reach, dump height, and digging depth slightly less than the Kobelco SK80

Kobelco SK80

Pros:
  • Offers reliable and fuel-efficient performance tailored for light earthmoving and compact construction
  • Higher bucket digging force (52.7 kN) and arm digging force (39.4 kN) compared to Komatsu PC81
  • Better gradeability at 58% which benefits operations on slopes
  • Faster travel speed coupled with a stronger tracking force of 82 kN
  • Equipped with a Yanmar engine with better torque specifications
Cons:
  • AC Cabin is an optional feature, not standard
  • Lacks GPS which can be a deterrent for those requiring advanced tracking and mapping
  • Slightly higher ground bearing pressure range which might not be as delicate on sensitive terrains

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

Your choice between the Komatsu PC81 and the Kobelco SK80 should consider the requirements of your projects. If you need standard in-cabin amenities and GPS for tracking, go for the Komatsu PC81. If performance in terms of digging force, gradeability, and travel speed is your priority and you are okay with the AC cabin being optional, then the Kobelco SK80 may be the better choice.
