*NEW 2022* Compact or Mini Excavator Comparison 35 Class (3 ton excavator)! NON PARTISAN!!!

In this video, Upstate Equipment set out to find the "average Joe" opinion of what machine felt best to them in 3 ton excavator class. This is a subjective and non-scientific opinion video with as close to we could get of impartial opinions based on equal machines with same conditions. These are not paid actors and these individuals are truly and accurately reflected in the video as they are in real life. We appreciate their help and support in volunteering for this experiment!
Machine setups for comparison:
Bobcat E35 R2 With 24" Bucket and Clamp
Kubota U35-4 With 20" Bucket and Clamp
Caterpillar 303.5 E2 With 24" Bucket and Clamp
Sany 35 With 24" Bucket and Clamp
John Deere 35G With 24" Bucket and Clamp
(1:09) We first had the operators spend 5 minutes in each machine for awareness and climatization.
Each operator was then told to perform a cycle test in each machine which consisted of digging a hole and then swinging the house and then depositing the load over a fixed line at their machines right side then returning to the hole for another scoop. Each repetition of this process counted as 1 point.
(2:41) The 2nd test was an awareness of machine capabilities and we let each operator spend 4 minutes in each machine just operating some of the other functions in a free-for-all format.
(4:03) The 3rd test was a travel speed test in which we tested standard drive speed drag race style as well as 2 speed drag race style.
(06:20)The last portion of the video covers testimonials: the real meat and potatoes of the operators real opinion of which machines performed best and why.
