Overview Summary

The JCB 51R and Yanmar Vi050-6B are mini excavators geared towards efficiency and performance in compact spaces. The JCB 51R boasts a higher power output and a more significant bucket capacity, while the Yanmar offers a slightly lower price and enhanced arm digging force.

JCB 51R Mini Excavator

Pros:

Higher engine power rating at 47.8 HP for better performance
Higher capacity fuel tank (76 L) for longer operation
Additional horsepower can lead to improved productivity for heavier tasks
Longer undercarriage length (2490 mm), potentially enhancing stability
Greater maximum digging depth (3450 mm) for more versatile applications
Larger bucket capacity range (0.17 - 0.22 m³), allowing more material to be moved per cycle
Faster travel speed-high (4.6 Km/h) for quicker onsite movement
GPS as standard for better tracking and fleet management

Cons:

Marginally higher price range (₹ 37-38 Lakhs)
Slightly heavier operating weight may restrict access to certain areas
The JCB 51R has a lower arm digging force (21 kN) compared to Yanmar Vi050-6B

Yanmar Vi050-6B Mini Excavator

Pros:

Slightly lower price range (₹ 35.5 - 36.5 Lakhs)
Increased arm digging force (22.7 kN) for potentially better bucket penetration
Less ground bearing pressure (29.9 kPa) could result in reduced ground compaction
Higher swing speed (10 rpm) for potentially faster cycle times in operations involving repeated pivoting
Variable displacement pump which may offer better efficiency and control in hydraulic operations
Longer warranty duration of 2500 hr. (compared to JCB's 2000 hr.)

Cons:

Smaller fuel tank (66 L) may require more frequent refueling stops
Lower engine power at 37.7 HP which may affect performance on demanding tasks
Narrower track shoe width (350 mm) which may impact stability
Reduced bucket capacity (0.14 m³), limiting the amount excavated per cycle
Lower maximum digging height (5530 mm) and maximum vertical wall cutting depth (2690 mm) reducing work range
Not as fast in high-speed travel mode (4.3 Km/h) compared to the JCB 51R

Closing Recommendation

Choosing between the JCB 51R and the Yanmar Vi050-6B would depend on the specific needs of the task. For heavier duty tasks requiring higher engine power and larger bucket volume, the JCB 51R may be more suitable. If cost-effectiveness, higher arm digging force, and reduced ground compaction are priorities, the Yanmar Vi050-6B could be the better option. Evaluate the pros and cons with the context of the job requirements to make the best choice.
