I think you’ll find that they are all the same machine. 

They definitely look similar, all powered by Yanmar. I think the Bobcat E60 and Doosan DX62R-3 are the only other options in the same weight class?

Huyundai build minis for CNH. They are all the same machine. Hyundai usually cheapest but backup has been abysmally slow for me. Gone with bobcat for my new 2.7t machine. 

 

Doosan and bobcat are generally the same too, with a few exceptions. Not sure about that particular model.

Look at the Takeuchi TB260 and Kubota 57 too - they are the best machines in that weight class imo.

And go with the long dipper on whatever you buy - I have never ever wished I couldn’t quite reach as far, but often wish I could reach a tiny bit further.....

Unless you are going to be running primarily an implement with a high build height, or a tilt rotator, or regularly handling loads close to the machines limit... then it’s not such an easy choice.

I’m sure Eddie would be recommending the Kubota KX57-4.

What attachment do you use? A ripper or small bucket?

A guy I work with just got this set up, he wants to look into a small grapple saw for Macadamia orchard pruning

Just a narrow bucket, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a ripper tooth though Dan.
