John Deere 110TLB or Kubota L48

I'm looking to buy one of these TLB's.

I have a skid steer with many attachments and would like to use some of these on a TLB.

Would want to use the Front Aux. Hydraulics off the loader.

If anyone has any feedback on these I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Ralph

i tried out both those units. i found them to be pretty evenly matched. each did diffrent things better. i ended up with the bobcat tlb and haven't looked back. i would also consider the new yanmar tlb. from what i understand it has some newer upgrades the 110 doesn't.
good luck

Thanks

the B300 is not a skid steer so it doesn't tear sod like one. the only damage to sod is from the weight of the machine. it biggest advantage is the 4 wheel steering and when switching from forward controls to the BH controls you don't have to get out of the seat. just spin around.
good luck

I bought an L48 2 years ago- Great machine, I push it hard and have never had a problem. For a small-to-mid size machine, you can't beat a Kubota engine.

Only down-side is, the front end loader with a set of forks will only pick up about 2800 lbs. If you have 3000 - 3500 lb. pallets, you can unload them from a truck- but forget about picking them up off the ground.

The backhoe is a beast- awesome power here.
