Well I never got a chance to look at that green yanmar 1500D. I just hope it's still there later this week. Does anyone know where you can get a bulldog or VTEC loader for this tractor?? I would like to get the Koyker 80, but also know that will cost around $3,500. Anyone here have any suggestions on the loader for this?
Ok so I found out that Coldwater will build a loader for $1,900 and ship to my door for $450. So $2,350 for Coldwaters or $3,500 for a Koyker 80. The Koyker I would have to pay sales tax of $245 and pick it up myself which isn't a huge deal, it's 15 miles away. But it would make it $3,745. Just need to decide if I want that Green 1500d now. All in all if I could get it for $3,500 plus $100 in fuel to get it and $2,350 for the loader total of let's say $6,000 after I buy myself a meal during travel. What do you guys think? Or buy a 1700d from Fredricks with a used loader for $7,800 delivered to me. Is that $1,800 worth it? It would be refurbished.

I do have another question though.... I have never sat on or seen a 1500d or 1700d. According to information on the internet, the 1500d is longer, 102" and the 1700d is 94" long. I would have thought the bigger 1700d would be longer than the 1500d or at least equal to in length. I know it weighs more and has a bigger engine, just confusing that it is that much shorter. Is the foot room the same betweent the two models? Anyways I am hoping to go look at the 1500d this saturday. And if I get it, coldwater could have me a loader in 2 weeks.
