Zaxis 27u-2 compact excavator

Hitachi's Zaxis 27u-2 compact excavator is more productive, smoother to operate and features a very comfortable operator's station. Additionally, competitive fuel economy and long service intervals deliver low operating costs. Productivity receives a boost from numerous improvements, including increased operating speeds, 50 percent more drawbar pull and automatic shifting between high and low travel speeds. Cycle times have been cut by 18 percent, allowing operators to dig more cubic yards per hour. A new long arm/counterweight option adds approximately 12 inches of dig depth and reach. Powered by a Yanmar 3TNV88 engine, the 27u-2 engine displacement has increased from 1.496 L to 1.642 L.
