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.

The Hyundai R35Z-9A is a 3.5 tonne class zero tail swing compact excavator that gives UK contractors and hirers a lower-cost alternative to the equivalent Kubota, Takeuchi and JCB machines in the same size band. It uses a Yanmar diesel engine rather than an in-house Hyundai power unit at this size, reflecting how compact excavators across brands often share third-party engines and hydraulics. Hyundai's UK dealer coverage for this class is thinner than the market leaders, spread across several regional appointed dealers.
