Just for the sake of the conversation, (not to be a butthead) how would you classify a Grand L5030HSTC with 853 FEL and an 85 BH? (Besides really nice.) )</font>
Great question. That one does kinda blur the line since it has a cat 2 3pt. It is however still a light weight tractor, with an HST - so I'd say its still a compact. Its drasticly different than any of the M-Series machines, even though its operating loads are on par with some of them.
