New Holland L328 Skid Steer

Introduction

The New Holland L328 is a large-frame skid steer in New Holland’s 300 Series, stepping up in power and lift capacity for heavier work while keeping the comfort and visibility the series is built around. A capable wheeled loader for larger farms, feedlots, and construction, it handles heavy loading, big buckets and attachments, and demanding material work, with a vertical lift for good dump height and the wide Comfort Deluxe Cab. For a prairie operation that needs serious skid steer capacity in a wheeled machine, the L328 is a strong choice near the top of the range.

What defines the L328 within the range is high lift capacity on the large-frame 300 Series platform. It pairs a strong engine with a vertical lift for dump height and reach, and it carries the 300 Series operator features: the wide Comfort Deluxe Cab, an 8-inch LCD display with an integrated backup camera, and the choice of mechanical or electro-hydraulic controls. Multiple auxiliary hydraulics packages let it run a wide range of attachments for heavy work.

On Aglist, the focus is on where the L328 fits against skid steers from other brands, compact track loaders, and its own 300 Series siblings.

What the L328 Does Well

As a large-frame 300 Series skid steer, the L328 pairs high capacity with operator comfort, and its strengths follow from that.

The first is strong loading and lift capacity. With more power and lift than the mid-range models, the L328 handles heavy loads, large buckets, pallet forks with full loads, and demanding material work, while its vertical lift gives good dump height and reach for loading trucks and stacking. For a larger farm, feedlot, or construction operation that moves heavy material all day, that capacity is the reason to choose a large-frame machine, and it keeps productivity high through long days.

The second is the operator environment. The 300 Series Comfort Deluxe Cab is one of the widest in the industry, with excellent ergonomics, all-round visibility, and reduced blind spots, and the color LCD display with an integrated backup camera makes heavy work easier and safer. Improved joystick controls reduce fatigue, which matters when running the machine hard, and a Bluetooth radio and USB port add convenience.

The third is versatility and simple ownership. Multiple auxiliary hydraulics packages, including high-flow options, let the L328 run a wide range of attachments, from heavy buckets and grapples to more demanding hydraulic tools, the choice of mechanical or electro-hydraulic controls suits different operators, and service is straightforward with grouped daily points, tool-free access, and a tilt-forward cab and boom. For an operation wanting high skid steer capacity in a comfortable, versatile wheeled machine, the L328 delivers near the top of the range.

How It Compares

The L328 sits in the large-frame skid steer class, and the comparison is about capacity, comfort, and machine type.

Against skid steers from Bobcat, Kubota, and other brands, the L328 competes on lift capacity, the wide Comfort Deluxe Cab, and strong visibility, while those brands bring their own dealer networks and followings. For the competing machines, see the Bobcat skid steer buyer’s guide and the skid steer vs compact track loader comparison.

Against a compact track loader, including New Holland’s own C-Series, the L328 is the wheeled option: less expensive, faster on hard ground, and simpler to maintain, but with less flotation and traction on soft or wet ground than tracks. If your heavy work is on firm surfaces and yards, the wheeled L328 is efficient and capable. If you work on soft prairie ground or need maximum traction under heavy loads, a compact track loader may suit better. Within the 300 Series, the L328 sits above the L321 in capacity, and below the top L334, which tops the skid steer range.

Best Applications

The L328 is a strong fit for:

• Larger farms, feedlots, and construction needing high skid steer capacity
• Heavy loading, big buckets, and full pallet forks
• Running demanding attachments with high-flow auxiliary hydraulics
• Operators who want a wide, comfortable cab for long days of heavy work
• Firm-ground and yard work where wheels are efficient under heavy loads

For soft or wet ground, a compact track loader suits better, and for less capacity at lower cost, the mid-range models cover it. The L328’s place is high-capacity skid steer capability in a large-frame wheeled machine.
