A highlighted cell wins its row on the rule named above the table: more power, lift, capacity or flow, or a lower price. A lift row is left unwon whenever the two makers measured in different places, or where either of them did not say — a figure quoted at the pivot pin and one quoted 500 mm ahead of it describe the same loader and differ by roughly a third, so ranking them against each other would invent a result. Prices are typical list and move with dealer packages.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners of each one say

Kioti DK4220

What they like

  • 16.5 gpm of pump flow is 41 percent more than the CK line's 11.7, and it moves a loader and a rear remote at the same time without stalling either
  • 2,716 lb at the 3-point is over 1,000 lb more than any CK, which opens up heavy box blades and larger cutters
  • The KL5521 loader lifts 2,474 lb at the pivot pin to 107.7 in - high enough to load a dump trailer over the side
  • 3,523 lb of bare tractor is its own ballast, so a full bucket does not need rear weight to stay planted
  • 12.7 gal tank is nearly half again the CK series' 9.0 gal
  • 72-month powertrain coverage with no hour cap and 24 months bumper-to-bumper, parts and labor, no deductible
  • Factory cab is offered on this trim rather than requiring a step up in horsepower

What they complain about

  • 29.1 PTO hp from 39.6 gross is only 73 percent, a bigger drivetrain loss than the CK4020's 33.3 from 39.6
  • No gear or shuttle option at this hp point - the SEH is hydrostatic only, so there is no cheaper way into the DK frame
  • $32,594 is about $6,000 over a CK4020 with no extra engine to show for it
  • Kioti publishes neither the aftertreatment nor the word turbocharged for this engine, so both come from the dealer
  • The 2,716 lb hitch figure carries no measuring point, so it cannot be lined up against a maker that quotes lift at the ball ends

New Holland Boomer 35

What they like

  • The 1.9-litre LS L32L19 is turbocharged and common-rail at every hp point in the series, so the small end is not a detuned naturally aspirated engine
  • Cheapest way into the Boomer line by roughly $2,500 against the Boomer 40, which shares its chassis and weight exactly
  • Boomer Guard-6 runs 24 months or 750 hours bumper-to-bumper before the powertrain cover carries on to 72 months or 1,500 hours
  • The synchro shuttle is the no-charge transmission, so the list price is a real shuttle tractor rather than a stripped gear box
  • 8.2 GPM on a dedicated implement pump, with steering fed from its own gear pump so loader speed does not fall away at full lock

What they complain about

  • 1,808 lb of 3-point lift at the ball ends is the series floor - the 45 and up lift 2,756 lb on the same family of implements
  • No cab is offered at 35 hp, so winter work means the ROPS and a jacket
  • Cruise control comes only with the $2,405 hydrostatic option; the shuttle tractor has none
  • The 250TLA tops out at 104 in. to the pivot pin, which is short for loading a tall trailer
  • Identical 2,870 lb ROPS weight to the Boomer 40 means no extra ballast advantage for the money saved
