baerpath 517 #1 Posted November 25, 2015 Has the price of loaders gone up ? I've had 10 on different GT's over the years Most I payed was $1200 for one on a 520 that came with 60 deck and single stage snowblower, cheapest was one on a Bolen's large frame for $200. I see loaders mostly over a grand upto wow who'd a thought price range. There is a Quickway in Kentucky complete for $750 that's about what I would think normal price would be. Maybe I'm just old 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadapples 6,981 #2 Posted November 25, 2015 I`m old too but it seems everything wheel horse has gone up in the last few years. I`m glad more people are getting in to the hobby to save these old tractors, but I think supply and demand is causing the prices to rise. Personally, got more than I need anyway, if that`s possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,682 #3 Posted November 25, 2015 I looked for a with a FEL for a couple of years before finding an acceptable unit, a GT-14 with Johnson loader and three point hitch mounted York landscape rake. It was a 1400 mile round trip away and cost $ 1,800. It isn't pristine, but was the nicest I had found under $ 2,000 and in good condition. I have watched garden tractors with FEL on prior to and since buying the GT-14 and haven't seen anything that I considered a better buy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #4 Posted November 25, 2015 I agree, the prices are getting out of sight. I can buy a used front end loader here in Iowa for my Ford 860 Ag tractor for less money, and in working condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm just old Duane- You might be getting old ... Honestly I think they have been about $1500 +/- range for a while. If you could find a complete one in good shape for $1000 you are doing real good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can whlvr 991 #7 Posted November 30, 2015 years ago I priced a loader at the dealer,4500 installedso I ended buying a bobcat 743 skid steer,ya it was well used but what it can do is not even in the same categorie as a garden tractor,and the implements I can run with it is a large bonus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #8 Posted November 30, 2015 Nice loader machine you picked up Duane. If that one runs good I'd probably leave that loader right on that one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
