Two new 24HP loaders, both powered by the Kubota D1105 diesel, sit at opposite ends of the compact loader price range. The NEW 24HP Mini Skid Steer Loader is listed at USD 12,399.00, while the Skid Steer Loader 24HP Kubota D1105 Compact Track Loader is listed at USD 17,399.00. That's a $5,000 spread between machines that share the same engine, the same compact equipment size, and the same 63° dump angle. The decision comes down to whether you want the lower listed price or the broader capability list.
Quick verdict: If your priority is the lower listed price, the mini skid steer is the direct choice. If you need the broader capability set, the compact track loader is the one that lists those features.
Here's how the two listings compare side by side on the fields both share.

Where the mini skid steer wins
The mini skid steer's advantage is the lower listed price paired with loader fundamentals. The 3-pump/3-valve hydraulic layout, dual-zone independent cooling for the engine and hydraulic oil, a 40 L fuel tank, and 25° gradeability are the listed details that support continuous work cycles.
Where the compact track loader wins
The compact track loader's advantage is the broader job-site capability. The 4-in-1 bucket, radial lift path, and EPA / Euro V emission standard are the features that separate it from the mini loader.
NEW 24HP Mini Skid Steer Loader 4171lbs Kubota 3 Pumps 3 Valve 500 Kg Rated Load
This loader puts the buying decision on the lower listed price and the mechanical fundamentals. The title states a 500 kg rated load, and the attributes back it up with a 3-pump/3-valve hydraulic system, dual-zone independent cooling, a 40 L fuel tank, and 25° gradeability. It's the choice when you want Kubota D1105 power without the higher price tag. The feature set is focused on the skid steer's hydraulic and cooling strengths. For loading, dumping, and tight-space work where those strengths matter, this is the straightforward pick.
Skid Steer Loader 24HP Kubota D1105 Compact Track Loader W/4-in-1 Bucket Display
This is the loader to consider when the job needs more than basic loading. The title calls out the 4-in-1 bucket, and the description details a compact track loader with radial lift, a 3-cylinder water-cooled Kubota D1105 engine, and an EPA / Euro V emission standard. The rated operating capacity is listed at 350kg, with a 480kg maximum loading capacity, and the bucket capacity is 0.20 m³. That puts the trade-off in clear terms: the higher listed price buys the track-loader layout and the listed capability set, not a meaningfully larger bucket.
Final choice by use case
If your work centers on loading and dumping in tight spaces and you want the lower listed price, the NEW 24HP Mini Skid Steer Loader is the one that matches your budget. If your jobs call for the broader capability list, the compact track loader is the listing that answers with those specific features. The $5,000 spread is the tiebreaker: it moves you from the mini skid steer's hydraulic-focused package to the track loader's expanded feature set.
