- Kubota L5740, Unimog 404 w/ snowblower, Deere 620i UTV, MX5100 (sold)
What am I missing on the advantages of each?
L5740HSTC- Simpler Tier 3 Emissions, Better (more protective) hose routing, slightly lower prices, more used units on the market
L6060HSTC- Less smoke, larger cab, newer, slightly more power (insignificant?), slightly less fuel(?)
I haven't been seeing/hearing of many real issues related to Tier 4. My MX5100 stinks up my shop and I wouldn't mind Tier 4 for that reason, but there is obviously something to be said for the relative simplicity of Tier 3. I have not found a LXX40 series cab to check out around here, so I don't understand the difference in sizes of the two cabs. Overall I'm thinking maybe I don't care which model, if I find the right tractor?
