Choose the Digger Plant 2 if...
Fits landscapers and small contractors running a micro or mini excavator that does not need the bigger bed of the standard Digger Plant. The lower unladen weight leaves more of the gross rating free for the machine itself.

The same market as the GD85 with about 60cm more bed length, which is the difference between fitting a load and not. Landscapers and anyone moving long materials or a quad choose it for the length rather than the payload, which is unchanged.
