Hyundai HX85A vs Mecalac 8MCR

The Hyundai HX85A is about 6% heavier than the Mecalac 8MCR (8,500 vs 8,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Hyundai and Mecalac in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
