MF 481 w/ Loader

I assume that the loader would also have a greater lift capacity.

If you have the 1070 massey loader, you could lift the the 4720 easy. 4000lbs of breakout is serious power compared to compact loaders.

I went to look at the tractor last Thursday. It didn't have the MF loader, it was a third party manufacturer -- QuickE or something like that.

It was a pretty beefy loader -- like the tractor itself. Obviously much more heavy duty than the 4720. I think that if my work called for the larger tractor this would be a great buy. Unfortunately, I just don't see that it makes sense for me to buy a tractor that large. A lot of the work I have to do will be done in smaller areas. I think I'm going to pass on this 481. If somebody's in the market for that size tractor, I think it would be a good buy. The $28,000 sales price includes a pretty big box scraper as well.

Yeah, the loader was nice. I did some quick (pun intended) research on it and was pretty happy with what I found. If I wanted a tractor that size, I think I'd be all over that deal.
