Buy or hire the EZ80 if...
- you want one that has 26kW more power
A 6 to 10 tonne machine for site clearance, drainage and bulk digging, often run with a dumper alongside. At 7.9 tonnes it moves on a lorry or low-loader. Dig depth is 4,169 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.
