I have the huina 580, which is fair for an electric version, but I’ve been curious about hydraulic.

The Huina can be a decent model with some upgrades. That being said, it'll never do as much work as a hydraulic unit. It just isn't big & heavy enough to do so.

For excavators, the RC4WD 4200XL is a decent machine.

For a wheeled loader, the one offered on Aliexpress.com from seller Emo, or from the seller Faroe are great loaders. I have this loader featured on my YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj16x0WF1Rk
I forgot how many hours are on the lil machine now, but it's a lot. All I did to it was upgrade the hydraulic valve, & loktite EVERY nut/bolt.
