I've been wondering, does anyone have any experience in pricing a used tractor(in 50-70 HP range) without a front loader and then buying an aftermarket one like Westendorf (I'm assuming dealer brand would be more pricey) after? Do you save any money there?
Or have you found that it is better to just look for what you want with a front loader already attached.
PS: As a side note, I'd love a discussion on how do these companies do enough business to exist? I rarely see aftermarket loaders on tractors, do that many people buy a tractor and decide they want one after do they offer better performance than the manufacturer's loader? Obviously there is a market for them, I just know why that market exists.
