JCB 220X vs Komatsu PC210LC-11

The Komatsu PC210LC-11 is about 3% heavier than the JCB 220X (22,750 vs 22,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

The JCB 220X has about 5% more engine power (129 kW (173 hp) vs 123 kW (165 hp)).

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