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
New Holland Workmaster 75
What they like
- The turbocharged 74 HP FPT diesel meets Tier 4 without a DPF, so owners avoid regen cycles and enjoy a long 600-hour service interval
- The 12x12 power-shuttle transmission makes direction changes effortless, ideal for constant loader work
- 3,500 lb 3-point lift (optionable to 4,000) handles heavy field implements with ease
- 60 PTO HP runs large mowers, balers, and tillage tools with real authority
- New Holland runs aggressive package pricing and financing that make it a strong value in the 75 HP class
- The large 22-gallon tank and stout frame make it a genuine all-day working machine
What they complain about
- It's a big purchase - loaded with a loader it lands near $40K
- The base model is fairly basic, and adding a cab and options drives the price up substantially
- The FPT engine, while capable, doesn't have the resale cachet of a Deere or Kubota powerplant
- No hydrostatic option, so finish-mowing precision and beginner ease aren't its strengths
- At over 5,000 lbs plus loader it needs a heavy-duty truck and trailer to transport
- The compact-and-utility side of some New Holland dealers is less focused than their big-ag operations
New Holland Workmaster 55
What they like
- Tier 4B is met with cooled EGR and a diesel oxidation catalyst only - there is no DPF and no regeneration cycle to sit through
- 3,500 lb of lift measured 24 in. behind the ball ends is nearly double what a 55 hp Boomer manages
- 21.7 gal of fuel against 10.5 on the compacts, which is the difference between refuelling at lunch and not
- 12.6 GPM on a dedicated implement pump with a separate 7.6 GPM steering supply
- Cab with air conditioning, two doors and a hinged rear window is standard rather than a several-thousand-dollar option
- The 179 cu in three-cylinder is the same FPT block used across the Workmaster utility range, so it is not a one-model engine
What they complain about
- 40 PTO hp from 54 engine hp is a 26% loss, which is heavy - the Boomer 55 gives up only 15%
- The 12x12 shuttle is mechanical with an 11 in. single dry disc clutch, so every direction change on loader work wears a clutch a power shuttle would not
- $69,496 is a lot of money for 40 PTO hp; the Workmaster 75 cab is $77,044 for half again the output
- New Holland publishes the 555LU loader figure 800 mm ahead of the pivot pin, a convention nobody else uses, so 3,153 lb cannot be compared straight against a rival's pin rating
- The MY2026 book lists no ROPS version, so there is no cheaper way to buy one
- Base warranty is 24 months or 2,000 hours, against the six-year powertrain cover New Holland gives its own compacts
