Power comparison
 

I was just thinking today about which excavator currently on the market was the most powerful hydraulic wise? Just a random thought but i thought it would be a good discussion.

Heres all the companies I can think of that currently produce equipment, please help me with this list. Premacon, RC4WD, Fumotec, Vario, the china kat, wedico. I know there are several more so please feel free to add to it.

Most German companies use pumps from Jung. Typically they are either 900ml/sec or 1200ml/sec. I think they rate up to 45 bar.

My vote goes to Mother Earth's Komatsu 700. Oro2 also makes beastly Cat excavators.

Weight of an excavator is what allows it to dig a bigger hole and lift heavy objects, (which translates to powerful I think). Fortunately hydraulic pumps are not the bottle neck for our scale models. Main difference between the various pump manufactures are how quiet and efficient they run, and of course volume flow.
The heaviest to date is mother earth pc700 (91 lbs) , second would be Vario. Hope that answers.
