I sold my New Holland LX865 skid steer and would like to replace it with a loader with similiar capacity. I like the skid steer very much, but it tears the ground up everywhere I go, so I was thinking about a wheel loader or tractor of some kind. In my quest to find a new loader, I started looking at the compact backhoes offered by Deere and Kubota. Specifically the Kubota L48 and Deere 110. Having a hoe on the back would sure be handy sometimes too!
Which one is better and Why?
Not trying to start a war, but the prices are similiar, and if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want to pick the best one. The Kubota seems to be a couple thousand less in most used equipment ads I've looked at. Not sure about new yet.
Also what's a common problem to look for in either on the used market?
I'm sure they are both fine machines, but would like to hear the good and bad on both of them before pulling the trigger.
Thanks for you input!
