What compares with Kubota L4060?

The Yanmar YT Series offers a great deal to like w/ a very unique hybrid transmission.

Visited my local Kioti dealer today and was quoted $32,500 for the NX4510NST with FEL and backhoe. Looks like it is presently my first choice to buy later this year.
Maybe when I called the other dealer before we had a miscommunication.

This dealer wrote out the quote.

That sounds a lot more reasonable. Maybe first guy thought you wanted TWO back hoes

Only one question remaining at this point. Next visit will ask the dealer how much to move up another 5 hp to the NX5010. If I can upgrade for about $1,500 just might.................one can never have to much HP.

If it were me, I wouldn't chose the NX5010 over the 4510 unless you had a specific need for the ~10% more HP. Just happen to have brochure sitting here so did a scan for you. Very little difference. If your $1500 is close guess on price difference, that's enough for a set of SSQA pallet forks, good box blade, toothbar for FEL bucket, & 50 hr service.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like a solid plan. Some people are still trying to talk me into a shuttle shift but it would take a lot of convincing for me not to buy the HST.

I do way too much loader work and some tight areas to bush hog to mess with that. Powershift like an industrial machine or GST like the Grand L had (still have?) maybe would be just fine for me. But a typical shuttle - no thanks. Plus, my wife can just jump on it and do stuff with the tractor - that would have been a much steeper learning curve throwing shuttle shift into the mix.

I have a HST DK45 and a NH TN 55 with a hyd shuttle shift. The only advantage of the shuttle shift is less fuel burn for loader work and a more efficient transmission. The HST makes loader work much easier to control and without punishing a clutch.
