I am looking to add a 410 loader to my JD 4100 in anticipation of starting our house-building project.
Just wondering what a good, average, and too-high price might be to pay for this attachment.
Also, if anybody has any price paid info for the very hard-to-find used variety. Most of the dealers I talk to don't want to remove the loader from a used tractor because it leaves them with a harder-to-sell bare tractor.
The prices I have found so far here in MN:
Low of $1995 used loader (unfortunately, already sold to somebody else).
High of $2600 for new, installed, but I bring tractor to them.
Best price for new that I have found so far is $2400 if I take delivery in the crate and install it myself.
Installing the loader myself actually sounds like less work than loading up and bringing the tractor to the dealer. Any opinions on this?

PS The house construction plan is to use the 4100 and 410 loader for as much as possible of the grading touch-up, back-filling, materials moving, sand and gravel-placing, sidewalk and driveway cutting, final landscaping, etc. The main excavation of basement and footings (600-700 cu yd) will be hired out.
As far as the CFO knows, the "official" plan is to sell the loader when the house is done to recover some of the cost. The secret plan is to let the accounting department forget all about it by then and keep it around.
