Where the Grand L70 changes loaders: the LA1056 replaces the LA806 and pivot-pin lift jumps from 1,726 to 2,427 lb. The 50 hp V2403-CR-TE5 is the same block as the L4470 below it, turned up and given a longer frame.

Same 72.1 hp V3307 as the M4-071 in a plainer, lighter and $16,943 cheaper package. The 12-speed HD12 build adds a limited-slip front differential, electro-hydraulic 4WD and a 16.2 gpm pump for the price of 2 PTO hp.
