I spent a few hours reading up on all the different specs that I could find, both from the manufacturers sites, and filling in the gaps from dealer sites, manuals, pdf's, etc. I've been considering upgrading to a cab, so I figured it was in my interest to find the facts about each tractor... and I figured some of you may be interested as well.
My GOAL was to find/compare ONLY HST models with the most loader capacity.

My GOAL was to find/compare ONLY HST models with the most loader capacity.
NOTE(s):
- TYM makes the Mahindra 5010 (the 5010 is a more stripped down version of the T503, with a Mah loader).
- I did not include the JD 4320 (which was the closest competitor I could find available) ... The closest one I found was out of state, and was $7000 + higher than all the others listed, and spec'd well below the others enough so that it wasn't worth considering.
- I included a Kioti DK45se and NOT the DK50se because the DK50 was harder to find, my dealer has a 45 in stock, AND the only difference was approx 2 PTO HP ... yet the cost was several thousand higher.
- There are 3 Kub's listed, because my local dealer had both a 4240 & 5740 in stock... as well as a new 4760... and wanted to give me prices on all 3 since they use the same loader.
- These were the prices I was given with only slight "negotiating" and reflect either the dealer's 0% financing, or a cash price getting my own financing. (Kubota's 0% was 60 mos, Mahindra's was 84 mos).
- Prices of the Kubota's included ADDING 1 set of rear remotes (to compare to the other tractors). Massey automatically adds a rear remote with the cab package.
- Prices of the Kubota's also included SSQA, which was an option for Kubota, but standard on all others.
- Case / New Holland were not included as LS makes the comparable series
- McCormick not included because Daedong (Kioti) makes the comparable series
