A staff member walks through controls, loader quick-connects, and three-point hitch setups before swapping pallet forks and testing front loader capacity on each machine. The test yields one concrete observation: the Massey felt more stable under a heavy load. Best for shoppers deciding between these two specific models.
This is a Massey Ferguson dealership channel, the presenter acknowledges the bias upfront but still sells both brands, so expect a sales-floor perspective rather than independent analysis.
Both picked up the load fine with no hydraulic flow issue, but the Kubota felt super light in the back while the Massey felt a little stronger and heavier in the back.
Yes, both have the same skid steer front end quick connect style, where you lift the handles up, drop the bucket or forks, and pull forward.
The video says the Kubota is super light in the back but still super strong and tough, bulletproof, while the Massey is a little stronger and virtually indestructible.
