New Member here. Been lurking for a while. I'm looking at a new tractor (cab-50-80horse), I'll post in the other section later. BUT, for this spot I don't know if I fully understand the New Holland current offerings.

What is the difference between a 2018/19 Workmaster and Powerstar in the 75hp motor?

Thanks in advance,
WL

I am wondering the same thing. From what I can tell the Workmaster is a 3 cylinder that weighs 6800lbs.
The Powerstar is a 4 cylinder but weighs less at 6200 and seems to be more expensive. I got a quote from 2 dealers here in Austin tx area for the Workmaster and they are at $44k and $45k with skid steer style loader. I have not quoted a Powerstar. The Workmaster seems to be an economy version of the Powerstar.

Exactly. It seems to be an economy version, but its heavier and has (as far as I can tell) an identical feature set. I think the Power in a 75 no longer exists but no one will tell me that. Not simple!

When I was tractor shopping a year ago I seem to remember that the Workmaster was just a simpler, plainer version than the Powerstar. 3 cyl versus 4 cylinder engine. Only available transmission was an 8 speed; the Powerstar gets a 12 speed and even a 20 speed if the creeper option was selected. Most important to me - the Workmaster was NOT available with a cab. The Powerstar has, in my opinion, the best cab in the business - even nicer than my Kubota!

I can't find any info on the Powerstar. In the smaller tractors, the comparison between the boomer and the workmasters shows a huge difference (20-30%) in loader capacity. Don't know if it carries over to the bigger ones, but that's the first thing I'd compare. Of course the Boomers are generally heavier and wider than the Workmasters in the same horsepower range, and the opposite appears to be the case with the bigger ones, so that might not be a problem.

VERY helpful... thank you. (at least very clear on one of the two machines)

Youtube has some good videos of the Powerstar. They appear to be similar but the Powerstar has more options available and a little nicer cab. The price of them doesn't seem to be too far apart.

Here is a video where Messicks reviews the Powerstar

Personally, I am going to purchase a Powerstar 75. A little nicer features and better resale. With the NH 3.9% for 60mos financing, I am being quoted about $45k for the PS75
