Interesting. I thought the M20 etc. loaders were a new thing here. Not so?

No, the M20 (M30 etc) are the default normal M series Kubota Canada loader made by Quicke. Quicke have been Kubota Canada's M series normal loader for oh, 20 years or more now?
In my opinion, the Quicke's are better built, but they cost a bit more too. The first LA's showed up on M series with the MX5000 (not a real M to be fair) then on the 40 series a few at a time.
I've got an LA on my L series, and I'm happy with it except you can't fix the sloppy bushings. I've got a quicke on my MF, the quicke loader uses steel backed oil impregnated bronze bushings at all pivots. The euro tach is also a lot more common in Canada, although skidsteer q/a stuff is showing up bit by bit.

For the pallets of sod I'd say that the M-series is a better bet for you as you would be pushing the L's loader capacity.
