dealer list, not MSRP
Cheapest way into a full-size compact rather than a sub-compact: a naturally aspirated 1.3-litre Mitsubishi S3L, 2,469 lb of tractor and a 1,808 lb hitch for $21,657 with the 12x12 shuttle. Hydrostatic is a $2,405 option and there is no cab.

On the price: This maker publishes no price, so the figure comes from dealer listings. Regional dealers price the same machine differently.
Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
Gathered from owner reports
The strongest evidence about this tractor comes from two New Holland mechanics, independently and in the same direction. One calls them fantastic little tractors and tough to kill, and says a customer of his has beaten on one relentlessly and it simply keeps going. The other says he can attest to their durability from what he has seen customers do, and offers the most useful single figure in the file: a customer who has put 3,000 hours on his in three years with no repairs beyond some bolts backing out of the backhoe. Both also make the same practical point about parts - the machine is essentially the same as an LS MT125 and a Case IH Farmall 25A, so even without an LS dealer nearby you can get parts through any New Holland or Case agricultural dealer, which broadens your service options considerably.
Buyers who chose one did so on specification per dollar rather than brand. One on seven acres picked the larger-frame version deliberately and lists a bigger bucket, a stronger loader than most rivals in the class, plus cruise control, rear hydraulics and a skid-steer quick attach at no extra cost, at a price well below the equivalent Kubota and Deere. He had to have one transferred in from another dealer, which took a fortnight. The limitation worth knowing before you order is that the mower deck and the backhoe subframe conflict, so you cannot run both - a mechanic states this plainly. On the fault side, one owner pushing snow lost his three-point hitch after about three hours, with the hydraulic pump whining and the loader and third function still working normally, and it repeated the following day after ten minutes. Another owner who admits to thrashing his has his tie rods taking a beating and a steering knuckle seeping.
Summarised from public owner discussion, not from testing. Nothing here was measured by this site, and a report that recurs is not the same as a defect rate.

New Holland
An LS-built three-cylinder on New Holland's compact frame, sold with either a 12x12 synchronized shuttle or hydrostatic drive. The 35C has since taken over with a cab-capable chassis, but the older 25/35/40 series page is still up alongside it.

The original Workmaster compact range ends here, still listed at $29,239 in the MY2026 book but overtaken by the Workmaster 40C that New Holland showed in February 2026. Same 1.9-litre LS engine as a Boomer 40 in a plainer, cheaper wrapper.

The one Boomer still built on the smaller 12x12 frame: 1,808 lb at the ball ends against 2,756 lb from the 45 up. The $32,551 list is the ROPS synchro-shuttle; hydrostatic adds $2,405 and there is no cab at this hp point.
