Did some calculations for boom lift and curl on the mt3 vs mt3e based on the piston diameters used on the loaders for these tractors.

The mt3e bucket curl cylinders put out a combined 11,995 lbs vs 17,475 lbs on the mt3. That's 31% less than the mt3.

The mt3e boom lift cylinders put out a combined 18,415 lbs vs 21,910 lbs on the mt3. That's 16% less than the mt3.

The bucket curl on my mt345e is seriously weak.

Anyone else considering one tractor vs the other, I'd say the higher loader capacity and the included rear remotes are by themselves worth the extra money. Not to mention numerous other upgrades. I was trying to save some money. Hindsight, I would buy the mt3 if given a second chance. I hope this helps someone.
