Which is basically what I am trying to do over a range of diferent vessels. The comparison of one type of vessel with both power sources is good to make some determination of equivalency along the lines of kg/kW much like the old hp/ton. I don't think you can translate power requirements from a 10 ton cat to a 5 ton one without it. The claims of manufactures varies widely and it is only through looking at a number of real world situations that the understanding will develop. I don't have the time or inclination to build one of each type and then select the best one so I must do it through theory.
Thanks for a bit more data. I didn't realise the 410 came from the factory with electric, more research.
