LS jumps from a 1700# 25HP machine to the MT3 which is 45hp and 3700 pounds. So they really have no offering to compare to the L3901
The TYM T394 is a 3000# tractor
The 4015 branson is a 3000# tractor
These models are really in between kubotas models. Kubota offers the Lxx01 at ~2600-2700# then jumps to the GrandL at 3700#. None of which really compare to one another
That leaves the Massey 1739e, The CK4010, and the Boomer 37 to compare
The massey only lifts 1450 to max height. A tad more than the kubota....but at ground level it specs WEAKER with a break-out of 2288 vs kubota 2462. So I'd say these two arent gonna be much different in the real world. One is a few hundred pounds stronger down low, the other a few hundred stronger on the top end.
The boomer seems to be a standout with 2200#. But on tractors this size, 1000# hanging off the back + loaded tires is "just" enough for the 1200# loaders. So unless you put 1500#-2000# hanging off your 3ph......that extra lift capacity gains you NOTHING.
The kioti.......maybe someone else can shed some light. They had the 3000# CK35 paired with a 1200# loader. Tier IV hits and they can manage to shed 300-400# off the tractor, while adding all the emissions crap, boosting 5HP, and still give 50% increase in loader capacity? But again, better have a TON of ballast back there or it is useless.
Like someone said earlier, you could put some 4" diameter cylinders on the loader (like off a logsplitter). ANd on paper that baby would spec for 6000# lift capacity. But the specs are all theoretical. And NOT a true indication of what it can actually lift.
Ironic that two of the biggest players in the game.....deere and kubota......both have the lowest lift "rating". Think maybe there is a reason for that?
Also ironic that those who always complain about the weak kubota loader on the economy L's are those who are just window shopping and looking at a spec sheet and not the people who own and actually use them.
The people that actually own them are the ones making comments like:
