Buy or hire the 352F if...
A large excavator for bulk earthmoving and quarry-scale digging rather than site groundworks. Contractors hire it for big-volume dig and load jobs where a mid-size machine would be too slow.

Buy or hire the EZ36 if...
A midi excavator for groundworks, utilities and landscaping contractors. At 3.7 tonnes it arrives on a lorry rather than behind a car. It digs to 3,497 mm. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.
