L2350 versus NH 1720 Loader work

[53Willys]

Can anyone give me advice on the reputation and loader work performance on the Kubota L2350 and or the New Holland 1720 tractors. Is 1100 hours 1996 asking for trouble as I fear?I am getting opposite opinions from dealers that actually carry both lines despiet the larger HP of the 1720 @ 27 HP versus the 2350 @ 23-25 HP both Diesel 4WD. The L2350 is 1996 with 1100 hours while the 1720 is a 1997 with 300 and a $1000 more with a loader than the L.
I realize that torque rise plays more into this as well.Thanks for your help.
Thanks
