Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓New Holland's patented Super Boom vertical lift gives class-leading dump height and reach, and operators say it loads the center of high-sided trucks better than anything in its price range.
- ✓The 129-inch hinge-pin height is exceptional for a medium frame, so stacking pallets and loading tall hoppers is genuinely easy.
- ✓The L328 undercuts Bobcat and Cat on price, so value-focused buyers feel they get premium lift geometry for less money.
- ✓The FPT engine has a solid reliability reputation, and the machine pulls strongly for a 74 hp unit in loading applications.
- ✓The cab is roomy with good visibility, and owners appreciate the comfortable layout and low-effort controls over long days.
- ✓The 24 GPM standard flow is generous, and the high-flow option opens up demanding attachments for added versatility.
- ✓Two-speed travel comes standard, making ground-to-ground moves quick on larger sites.
- ✓Owners doing a lot of loading and stacking specifically choose the Super Boom design over radial-lift competitors for the reach advantage.
Cons
- ✗New Holland's construction dealer network is thin in many regions, and owners report that parts and service access can be a real weak point.
- ✗Resale value trails the big three brands, so the lower purchase price is partly offset by a steeper depreciation hit.
- ✗Some owners report electrical and sensor issues on FPT-engined machines that can be frustrating to diagnose.
- ✗The Super Boom linkage adds pivot points and grease zerks, which owners note require diligent maintenance to avoid wear.
- ✗The attachment and used-implement ecosystem isn't as deep as Bobcat's, limiting options in some markets.
- ✗Fit-and-finish is judged by some operators as a step below Cat and Bobcat refinement.
- ✗Because dealers are sparse, warranty and service experience varies widely by location.
- ✗The vertical-lift geometry that helps loading compromises some low-end digging force versus a radial-lift machine.
