Doosan DX27Z’s in terms of price/performance and spec it does a very solid job. For everyday site work like tight-access utilities, landscaping, and light trenching it’s more than capable; hydraulics respond well for its class and the cab/confort level is better equipped than many rivals. The package makes sense if you don’t want DPF/DEF headaches but still need current emissions compliance, and there’s nothing weird or scary in the engine or electronics layout. The weak side is brand perception and resale value: you won’t sell it like a Cat or Deere, so you have to accept a more modest price when you move it on, and dealer coverage isn’t equally strong in every region, so you really need to confirm local parts and service support up front. If your work is constant heavy rock breaking, abusive attachments, and running everything at the limit, it’s smarter to look at more heavy-duty lines; but if you want a well equipped 2.7-ton machine that runs without drama and makes money by the work it does rather than the logo on the boom, the DX27Z is a buy you can feel comfortable with as long as you get it at the right number.
