Yes, The C-50 is a little more exspensive and the C-30/40 has the parallel linkage which some prefer. But the joystick and its location is much nicer on the C-50. If you look under the tractor where your (Ansung) sub frame mounts to the tractor you will see the Ansung unit is comparable to many of the loaders on the market today but the C-50 mount is much more substantial and over the long run for someone who does a lot of loader work I think you will find the C-50 will stand up better and be more comfortable to operate. I too would be very interested in any one who has any seat time using booth loaders.

Chipperman,

Yes the joystick is definitely in a better location from the operator's standpoint. I wonder, though, whether the hydaulics, which have to run under the deck, are a bit more exposed to some damage in rough stuff. I also have looked carefully at the frame and agree it's heavier than the bl20. Sometimes, though, things are overengineered (I do it all the time when I build), to the point where the extra $500 will not really be noticed in either short term or long term performance. No doubt the C-50 has some advantages. Just curious about a "head to head" comparison.
