2.5T2.5T Mini Excavator
If you are not sure which size the job needs, it is usually this one. Enough reach and breakout force for driveways, footings and drainage runs, while still small enough to work comfortably on a suburban block.

3.5T3.5T Excavator
Where you go when the 2.5 is working too hard for the job. Noticeably more reach and breakout force, plus a heavier blade, which tells on bulk cuts and anything with rock through it.

5.5T5.5T Excavator
The production machine in the fleet. When there is genuine volume to move or depth to reach, this is what turns a three-day job into a one-day job, which usually costs less overall than hiring something smaller.
