"I ran a 210-7 for three years on a pipeline job. It’s not as fast as a Deere, but it never broke down. The fuel tank lasts almost two shifts." –

The Cat 320D commands a premium for name recognition. The Komatsu has a slightly faster cycle time. But the Hyundai 210-7 offers the best value —you get comparable performance for 20–30% less upfront cost on the used market.
