Buy or hire the S450 if...
- you want one that has 22kW more power
Bobcat's entry-level skid steer, small enough for tight domestic and groundworks sites but still able to run a full range of buckets and attachments. Plant hire fleets keep it as their smallest skid steer for jobs a mini digger cannot reach.

Buy or hire the CX25D if...
- you want one that is the bigger machine by 345kg
A compact mini excavator sized for tight gardens, drainage runs and small groundworks jobs rather than large site cuts. Its sub-3-tonne operating weight lets it travel on a plant trailer behind a car-derived van, which is why small tool and plant hire firms keep one alongside larger diggers.
