We are in the process of buying a new loader. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with any of the above machines. We are having trouble narrowing down the 3 to just one. So just asking for some general opinions. Thanks, E.

400 h on a L 220h very happy. smouth and powerfull. I think a Cat 982 is closer to L220h and wa500-7 than a 980

The Komatsu's don't seem to have the power that they once had but the free services for the first 2k hours is worth something
