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
LS MT7101CPS
What they like
- 8,378 lb of Category II lift, which is more than double what the 63 hp MT463 will pick up
- 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds through a power shuttle, so direction and ratio changes happen without the clutch
- 85.5 hp at the PTO from 100.6 gross is a 15 percent loss, good for a machine of this size
- Factory cab with heat and air conditioning is standard rather than an option, so there is no stripped build to regret
- 30.4-gallon tank and a 5,139 lb LL8100 loader make it a genuine working machine rather than a large hobby tractor
What they complain about
- LS publishes no price; the two dealer figures found were $84,707 and $88,777, and one of them notes pricing is subject to change
- Cab-only means there is no cheaper open-station route into the MT7 frame at all
- LS identifies the engine only as an 'F5G' and does not name its maker anywhere on the model page, unlike the Yanmar and Mitsubishi units lower in the range
- 22.2 GPM total flow is only 1.1 GPM more than the 63 hp MT463 carries, so the hydraulics have not scaled with the engine
- The 3-point figure is quoted at the hitch end here, where the MT4 series quotes 24 in behind - the two are not comparable even within LS's own range
- No loader measuring point is published, and at 5,139 lb that rating is doing a lot of work in the buying decision
- At 7,985 lb and 100.6 hp it is at the top edge of this catalog's coverage, with a correspondingly thin dealer network for parts
New Holland PowerStar 75
What they like
- Forward-reverse power shuttle on a wet clutch, so loader cycles do not wear a dry disc the way the Workmaster's mechanical shuttle does
- Category II three-point with Lift-O-Matic Plus and an ASAE-rated 3,664 lb at 24 in., a proper step above the Workmaster's Cat I/II
- Four cylinders and 207 cu in against the Workmaster's three-cylinder 179, which shows up as smoother running under PTO load
- 23.8 gal of fuel and 22.4 GPM of total flow, with 12.9 GPM reserved for implements
- Turbocharged and aftercooled rather than just turbocharged, and still Tier 4B on DOC plus cooled EGR with no DPF
- The loader is factory-installed rather than dealer-fitted, so the mounts and plumbing are engineered in
What they complain about
- $90,725 is the highest price in this hp class by a wide margin - a Farmall 75C or a Workmaster 75 cab does similar work for materially less
- 61 PTO hp from 74 engine hp is a 18% loss on a tractor at this price
- Cab only in the MY2026 book, so there is no ROPS version for a shed-height or orchard setting
- The 655TL/710LU loader is rated 800 mm ahead of the pivot pin, a convention that makes 2,478 lb look weak against pin-quoted rivals and cannot honestly be converted
- Base cover is 24 months or 2,000 hours, short against the six-year powertrain warranty New Holland puts on its own compacts
