Compare engine sizes and overall weights. Many manufacturers offer something around 2.5t with an engine not much bigger than a 1.9t. You want the one around 2.7-2.8t. Often a 'premium' model with twin aux and rollers on the joystick, which is essential for arb work with a grab IMHO.

 

Bobcat E27 (not E27z or Doosan DX27, both are zero and smaller engines)

Kubota KX30, not KX27

I think the new CAT models rate highly here too, and I know air con is standard which is a big leap forward.

The Eurocomach 2.7t machine has a fourth pump dedicated to the aux, so there's not much to touch that for flow rate (at a cost!) I've seen videos of it tracking and flailing a hedge, and doing a decent job of it too.

 

Just had a look at the eurocomach, looks immense for that weight class. Does anyone know a rough price?

Will do, top 20’s isn’t that bad of a price in todays climate? Sure it’s not more?

I'm guessing that Eurocomach 4th pump is an additional option. Just looking at the spec sheet for the 2.7t model and it says still only giving out 50 lpm on the auxiliaries...

I think it's standard. Engine will only do 50lpm I reckon- but with the fourth pump, if the aux needs it it gets it. Kind of like a priority valve?

 

I was amazed at the video I saw.

I'll bet it's a lot more.
