Compact design with a 270-degree drum slewing for flexible operation.

Cons:

Lower engine power at 48 BHP compared to its counterpart.
Brakes are mechanical and may require more maintenance.
Does not specify gradeability for assessing its slope handling.

Venus Ultra 3.0

Pros:

Higher engine power at 74.5 HP for potentially enhanced performance.
Features Crab Steering for optimal maneuverability on job sites.
Includes a modern BS IV engine type for better emissions.
Offers a substantial water tank capacity of 650 liters.
Higher ground clearance at 305 mm which could be beneficial on rough terrain.

Cons:

Slightly smaller drum capacity of 3.0 cubic meters.
Higher price range, which may impact budget considerations.

Closing Recommendation

The Universal SLM-2 is suitable for those who prioritize a larger drum and compact maneuverability at a lower price point. In contrast, the Venus Ultra 3.0 is ideal for those who need higher engine power, better ground clearance, and are willing to invest in a higher price range for advanced features.
