Buy or hire the CX25D if...
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.

Buy or hire the ZX225US-7 if...
- you want one that has 115kW more power
For contractors working in restricted yards or alongside live structures who still need the dig performance of a 20-tonne-plus machine. The reduced tail swing keeps the counterweight closer to the tracks than a standard crawler excavator of this size.
