New Holland Workmaster 35
The New Holland Workmaster 35 is a 35 HP economy compact tractor built for New Holland by LS, offered with a 12x12 shuttle or hydrostatic transmission. It's the blue-paint value play against the Kubota L2501 and Deere 3025E for owners who have a good New Holland dealer nearby.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Consistently one of the cheapest name-brand 35 HP compacts - typically undercuts a comparable Kubota L2501 or Deere 3025E package by thousands
- ✓Backed by New Holland's dealer network and CNH parts system, so support is stronger than buying the equivalent LS-badged tractor
- ✓26.6 PTO HP through the HST comfortably runs a 5-foot bush hog or tiller, more grunt than the 25 HP economy class it's priced against
- ✓1,808 lb rear lift handles the common box blade, rotary cutter, and rear blade lineup without drama
- ✓13 GPM total hydraulic flow is generous for an economy compact, so loader cycles don't feel sluggish
- ✓Simple, mostly mechanical controls - owners praise how little there is to go wrong versus emissions-laden premium compacts
- ✓Choice of true 12x12 synchronized shuttle for gear fans or a smooth 3-range HST for loader-heavy work
- ✓5-year powertrain warranty at a budget price point
Cons
- ✗It's an LS tractor in blue paint - that's fine mechanically, but some CNH dealers know the Workmaster compacts less well than their bigger tractors
- ✗Loader lift of roughly 1,034 lbs at the pin is modest - a Kioti CK2620 or LS MT225S out-lifts it at similar or lower cost
- ✗The 7.4-gallon fuel tank is small for a 35 HP machine and needs midday refills on long mowing days
- ✗No cruise control even on the HST, a comfort miss competitors include
- ✗Economy fit and finish - flat fenders, basic seat, spartan platform compared with a Kubota Grand L
- ✗Resale is decent but blue compacts don't hold value like orange and green ones do
- ✗No factory cab option in this series, so winter users must look elsewhere or add aftermarket
- ✗Owners report the HST whines louder than Kubota's at transport speed
