Choose the DX17Z-7 if...
The Develon DX17Z-7 is the smallest excavator in the Develon range, formerly sold as a Doosan model before the 2023 rebrand, and competes for the same confined-space and landscaping hire jobs as the JCB 8008 CTS and Kubota KX019-4. UK dealers that previously stocked it as a Doosan now sell and service it under the Develon name with the same parts and support lines. It gives hire companies a mini excavator option outside the usual Kubota, JCB and Takeuchi trio at a similar size point.

The Volvo EC220E is a mid-size crawler excavator used on larger UK groundworks, civils and demolition sites where a mini or midi excavator no longer has the reach or bucket capacity needed. Its Tier 4 Final compliant D6 engine and Volvo cab are aimed at operators running long shifts. It is specified against similarly sized excavators from Caterpillar, Komatsu and Hitachi in the 20-22 tonne class.
