Message: <blockquote data-quote="dakotadigger" data-source="post: 38012" data-attributes="member: 4503"><p>trealize this is an old thread but i am new here. my brother has a L553 has the kabota diesel (4cyl) 42 hp, i have a l555 has the perkins 4-108, and i have a friend that used to have the l553 deluxe had the kabota (4cyl) 42 hp, all 3 machines have aux hydraulics and we had them all parked next to each other trying to establish the differances... the only thing i could come up with was the delux had the aux hyd ran inside the boom arms and was rated at 1750 lb (on the tag inside the loader ). mine is worn off and cant read the rating and my brothers said 1700lbs. also the delux had a higher back on the seat. my 555 has the disc brakes (its a year or so older) and the other 2 had the sprocket type (wish mine had this i can see why they went to this you can actually tell if you forget the brakes on). other than that the 2 kobotas engines looked identical and all 3 loaderslooked the same. the 553 could actually lift more than the deluxe due to the weight kit.. i have a weight kit as well and could out lift the delux too. the lighter delux would just lift the rear wheels off the ground i am not convinced there was any differance at all and was prob something to do with year of production and sales gimics all three machines are tough as nails and i regret not getting a picture of all of them lined up so i could post itried adding on the the old post but wouldnt let me here are my additions to the topic..</p></blockquote><p></p>
