JCB 409 vs Volvo L30G
The Volvo L30G is about 5% heavier than the JCB 409 (5,250 vs 5,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
The JCB 409 has about 38% more engine power (55 kW (74 hp) vs 40 kW (54 hp)).
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for JCB and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
