Backhoes comparison

Backhoes comparison

Backhoes comparison

(OP)
Hi,

I want to realize a comparative study of three backhoes:
- CASE 695
- JCB 4CX expert
- FB 200.2 (Fiat Hitachi)
After reviewing their main technical characteristics, I can't really decide which one has the best ratio quality/price. I need some feedback from experience. So if you've already worked with one of these please let me know.

Thanks

RE: Backhoes comparison

In my evperience, JCB tops them all. there other brands like CAT and John Deere but the JCB has been superior performer in terms of maintenace and overall quality/cost ratio.

RE: Backhoes comparison

Have all three do a test using a few of the actual tasks you want the machine to do. Have the people that have to use them do the work. Then get their feedback. This will sort out things like respone to controls, lifting capacity, etc. Make the machine approach its theoritical limits. Then get three references from each. Talk to their customers. Make sure you talk to the shop foreman that has to fix them, too
