Thats a little bit more than I figured. I was only thinking maybe $5k. I must clarify to all that the loader is homemade. Don't get me wrong, It was designed and built well by me a year ago or so.(See my profile and then view posts for more details). It is plenty strong enough and will probably out do most loaders of this size. This thing can and will flip a car onto its roof without a second thought and digs into the ground better than it ever should have. But never the less, it is homemade and reduces it value. Thank you Thomas and all others for future replys on this subject.
