New Holland L320
The New Holland L320 is a mid-size wheeled skid steer with the patented Super Boom vertical lift and a 67 hp FPT diesel. With 2000 lbs of capacity, standard dual-range travel, and a 91.7-inch dump height, it's the sweet spot of the smaller 300 Series frames.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The 2000 lb rated capacity handles a full pallet of most materials, which is exactly why buyers step up from the L318.
- ✓Super Boom vertical lift delivers a 91.7-inch dump height with nearly 30 inches of reach, so filling high-sided trucks is genuinely easy for the frame size.
- ✓The 300 Series dual-range transmission comes standard, giving travel speeds over 11 mph for quick moves across larger sites.
- ✓At 67 hp the FPT engine avoids DEF-heavy aftertreatment while offering noticeably more grunt than the 60 hp frames below it.
- ✓The wide 300 Series cab, 8-inch LCD display, and standard backup camera make long days more comfortable than the class average.
- ✓A 30.7 GPM high-flow option lets it run attachments normally reserved for larger machines.
- ✓New Holland pricing undercuts comparable Bobcat and Cat models, and ag-dealer crossover means farm buyers can often bundle financing.
- ✓Owners note the low-effort EH joystick controls and creep mode make precise trenching and grading easier than older NH models.
Cons
- ✗New Holland's construction dealer coverage is thin in many areas, so parts and warranty service can mean long waits or long drives.
- ✗Resale values trail Bobcat, Cat, and Deere equivalents, which eats into the lower purchase price over an ownership cycle.
- ✗The Super Boom linkage has more pivots and grease points than a radial arm, demanding disciplined maintenance to avoid slop.
- ✗Vertical-lift geometry sacrifices some ground-level digging and prying power compared to radial-lift rivals.
- ✗The 20.6 GPM standard flow is midpack - several competitors give more hydraulic flow without the high-flow upcharge.
- ✗Owners report FPT-engined machines can throw sensor and emissions codes that are frustrating to chase without a nearby dealer.
- ✗The cab pressurization and door sealing draw mixed reviews in dusty conditions versus Cat's D3-series machines.
- ✗Wheeled traction limits wet-ground work, and there's no direct tracked twin at this exact capacity short of the C327.
