Product notes
Kubota D1105 Compact Track Loader
The Kubota-powered model uses a D1105 3-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine and a closed-loop hydraulic system with 17-20MPa working pressure. Its narrow 1090mm body design is built for tight spaces, and automatic bucket leveling plus a quick-attach system reduce the work of switching buckets. The listed attributes include a 0.20 m³ bucket capacity and a 63° dump angle. The 480 kg maximum loading capacity is the stronger figure in this pair. The trade-off is the listed price, which is the higher of the two machines. If the Kubota engine and the larger bucket capacity are top priorities, this model makes the case for spending more.
RATO 740 4-in-1 Bucket Loader
The RATO-powered model runs on a RATO 740 twin-cylinder engine with a 3-stage hydraulic pump and heavy-duty all-rubber crawler tracks. It comes with a 4-in-1 bucket plus two attachments, and the universal quick-attach hitch makes it simple to swap in pallet forks or an auger drill. The 30° climbing ability and 375 kg maximum lifting force give it a useful edge on sloped ground. The smaller bucket capacity is the main trade-off, and the engine is a RATO rather than the Kubota found on the other machine. For a lower listed price and attachment flexibility, this model is the practical pick.
Final choice by use case
Before you decide, think about the surfaces you work on and how often you switch attachments. If your priority is a Kubota diesel engine and a 63° dump angle, the Kubota D1105 Compact Track Loader is the one to choose. If your priority is a 4-in-1 bucket with two attachments and a 30° climbing ability, the RATO 740-powered skid steer loader is the better fit. The two loaders come from the same size class, but they prioritize different parts of the job.
