Buy or hire the KX019-4 if...
- you want one that digs 26cm deeper
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 is the bigger machine by 17kg
The 1.5 tonne class is the busiest size in UK hire fleets. At 1,797kg it digs to 2,323 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.
