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.

Suits groundworkers who need to tip to the side or rear without turning the whole machine, useful in trenches or narrow access where reversing to line up a straight-tip skip is awkward. The 6 tonne capacity sits in the middle of JCB's swivel dumper range.
