Input needed (What to Get) Looking at MX5200 / L4901

Same loader on both?

I would get the one with the biggest loader capacity u can afford. That 5740 looks really good vs those $'s.

Not always true, but more people report disappointment with too little HP than too much and as mentioned, I believe the L4760 comes with a stronger loader.

Looking hard at a L5740HST with standard FEL bucket. Low hour machine very lightly used. Getting pretty enthused about looking at it....

I've had my L5740HSTC a bit over two years and really like it. I compared the L6060 with it and bought the 5740. I really didn't like the exposed hydraulic hoses on the L60 Series on the standard FEL and especially third function. Some prefer the L60 over the L40, just not for me.

A word of caution, my L5030 trade in was sold before it was even prepped, never made it to the lot, so I wouldn't wait too long.

Yep, going tomorrow morning ready to write the check. The machine looks so clean in the photos that it's hard to believe he used it at all.
