553 Loader

[5083Guy]

Was Browsing Tractorhouse and came across this loader. Wanted your opinions on it and what you value it at for what it is after being repaired. Thanks

Price is a little bit high for the condition but not too far off. Looking at the previous "repair" I would say it will never be worth any more then the current price and you may never be able to get it perfectly strait. This loader would be perfect for handling bales with a spear but not much good for bucket work.

I think that depends on what you plan to do.

Loading a manure spreader from a pile? It'll work.
Scraping manure off a concrete floor? Maybe not.

Running a grapple? It'll work.
Pallet forks? Not so much.

For most of what I do it wouldn't make a difference.

Thanks for the reply guys, but I just found out its sold. Can anyone tell me if a 563 loader will fit a 5083E?

 

[MattLynch]

Yes, I have a 563 on my 5093.

Yes, I have a 563 on my 5093.

Thanks, I'll probably be looking around for either one if I come across a deal.

I have a 553 on my 5075E. If I were to move up into the 5083/5093E machines, I would either have a H260 or 563 loader at the least. I think those are better paired for the higher HP E series tractors (even though JD sells them with 553s)

I have a 5083E with a 563 loader and its fine. IT certainly has enough to lift the rear tires off the ground ever with the rear tires loaded. I have even managed to lift the rear end slightly with a 1700lb counterweight lol
