Due to the restraints of my budget, most of the used JD loaders are at the top of my price range.
However, I have noticed that Bush Hog and others make loaders that sell new for what the JD loaders sell for used.
Anyone know anything about the 2426QT loader by Bush Hog?
I have priced one in green to match the tractor, with an 84" heavier duty bucket on it, a tooth bar and shipping to Jacksonville, Florida and it just falls under my $5k limit for a loader.
Is the 84" bucket going to be TOO BIG??? Mostly I will use it for scooping dirt, moving junk, and with the toothbar installed, clearing some land of stuff that is just a little much for the rotary mower.
This loader uses the remotes on the back of the tractor, and the valves already there. The salesman suggested that JD put their valves in the best place, better than where a twin valve, or joystick would mount and that I ought to try them before I buy a valve. I figure some of you have already done this, so which is better? Should I spend another 6 or 8 hundred on a valve for the loader?
I could save $200 if I went with an 80" bucket, but it is lighter duty, and I know how hard I am on equipment. Another $75 savings if I went with a 72" bucket
Anybody got any comments? Any would be appreciated.
