Buy or hire the KX019-4 if...
- you want one that is the bigger machine by 56kg
Chosen as much for what it weighs as for what it digs: under two tonnes means it can go on a modest plant trailer behind a light vehicle, which removes the transport problem that decides many small jobs. Very common in UK hire fleets for garden and trenching work.

- you want one that digs 1cm deeper
The 1.5 tonne class is the busiest size in UK hire fleets. At 1,724kg it goes on a braked plant trailer behind a large 4x4 or pickup, and digs to 2,590 mm for footings, drainage runs and fence posts. 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.
