Excavator Bobcat E26

2017 Year

I’ve had some time using the Bobcat E26 and, overall, it’s a solid piece of equipment. The digging capabilities are reliable; that 9-foot-plus depth is a definite plus. The hydraulic flow is sufficient for most attachments I've tried, though in heavy-use situations, it could feel a touch underpowered. The cab, especially with the HVAC option, adds comfort during longer hours, but accessing controls feels slightly cramped at times. Maintenance access is fairly straightforward. Pricing seems fair for what you get. If you’re in the market for this class of mini excavator, it’s worth considering.

Used the Bobcat E26 on a recent project. It's overall a reliable piece of equipment. One thing I noticed is that while its hydraulic system performs decently, there's minor wear visible on certain components; though it didn't noticeably affect operations during use. The cab offers a reasonable level of comfort. Digging efficiency was satisfactory, and maintenance seems straightforward.

Excavator Kobelco SK140

I spent quite a few hours in the SK140 and the first thing that hit me was the cab setup, it's way above what I’m used to. Loads of adjustments for seat and controls, even with my height I felt comfy. The screen and all the cameras are really handy, even though that display could use bigger icons - bit annoying squinting to pick the right thing. The foot pedals are super comfy, they actually thought about foot shape it feels like. I do wish they added a backup start system, you only start it through the main control. All in all, cab’s top notch but minor stuff could easily be fixed.

So, I had the chance to operate the Caterpillar 432. Controls are smooth and responsive-didn't face much lag. The backhoe's stability when digging impressed me, though switching between functions could have been slightly faster. Cab comfort is decent, but extended hours still cause fatigue. Maintenance seems manageable; accessing components for service is straightforward. Overall, it does its job effectively with few areas for improvement.

Used this model in various construction settings. Operational controls are decent but somewhat tricky initially, although you'll get used to them with time. Comfort levels are manageable for extended use. The reliability stands out - faced no downtime issues, which is crucial on-site. Service costs feel typical for this type of equipment.

Excavator Yanmar Vio 80

5.0 Operation

4.0 Convenience

I’ve operated quite a few excavators, and the Vio 80 stands out in some ways. Its design aids maneuverability in tight spaces, which is a huge plus. On the flip side, I thought the comfort could be improved a bit for extended use, as I experienced some fatigue. Great overall for construction jobs requiring precise operations.

Ran the 330 on a sandy quarry project. First impression: good power for heavy tasks and silky operation controls. The new hydraulic system keeps things efficient. Fuel consumption is noticeably lower, though the initial cost might sting if budgets are tight. The updated cabin design introduces ample space and less noise. One downside? The monitor's touch response isn't snappy sometimes. Solid choice for construction jobs.

Tried out the Volvo EC250E last month. The spacious cab really stands out, allowing for comfort during extended shifts. However, I did encounter minor hydraulic pressure issues that required meticulous monitoring. On the plus side, the durability this model demonstrates even in tough conditions is significant. It’s a machine that, with proper care, maintains performance stability.

Just operated the M318. It's pretty versatile, especially for urban projects due to its mobility. The hydraulic adjustments and maintenance cost reduction stand out. However, compared to tracks, its stability is slightly limited. Choose it if mobility is a priority.

This excavator handles very well, especially in tight spaces where maneuverability is key. The controls feel intuitive, and the visibility from the cab is impressive. That being said, replacement parts tend to be on the pricier side, which is worth noting. A machine that gets the job done effectively.
