Found Used loader

[mitchash]

I found a used Koyker 160 loader for sale. I was wondering if it would fit my Jinma 254, if so what would I have to get to make it fit. I'm not sure what it was off. Also what would be a fair price for this loader/ Looks in great shape. Thanks,
Ash

First impression is that it's too much loader for the JM254. Pretty sure it's main application is in the larger framed 30-35hp tractors. If I'm not mistaken, the Koyker 140 is more appropriately sized to the JM254

Greg is right although my co worker does have a 160 on his 254 which he bought from Rural King. You will need a mounting kit for your tractor which I believe Tommy at Affordable Tractors can have drop shipped to you.

Good point, it possibly depends upon which version of the Mitch found. Cuz I'm pretty sure Rural King spec'd the downsized 160; 4' bucket and 1-3/4" cylinders (~1100# capacity). Which sorta describes the 140. The 160 on my TS354 has the 5' bucket and 2" cylinders (~1500# capacity).

Prices vary but a new one will be around 3500 (including the brackets) the mounting brackets will probably run aroun 300 to 400. (i'm not in my office as I type this) I think I may have a set of brackets that will work, I'll look for them and if I have them, I'll send you a pM, (they will be a bargain). Is your 254 a newer model with steering on the front axle or older model with steering cylinder mounted alongside the engine?.

Greg is right, the 160 is a little more loader than the 254 needs so be careful with it. when we started, that is all we could fit to the tractor, then Koyker came up with smaller cylinders and eventually the 140 which was a little lighter made and lower cost.

Important consideration: does the used loader have the joystick attached? (value about 450.00 new).

If Chip does not have the mounting brackets ,I think I have a set or 2 also.The Koyker 160 was installed on alot of 254/284 tractors and the loaders are strong so you have to use common sense when using it.Send me a PM or e-mail about what they are wanting for the loader,condition, valve ,bucket size,ect.I can let you know what the mounting kit will cost,plumbing kit ,I just sold a nice used Koyker 160 with the brackets for $ 1,500.00

I also have some very nice New Korean loaders with brackets that will fit your tractor

His has a 5' bucket. I know for a fact because I had RK order me a replacement bucket and put it on my ZL-20 loader with some fabrication in place of the 4' bucket. I now have both buckets and put teeth on my 4' bucket for digging although I have never put it back on after 4 years. May never use it again. I am guessing though it does have the 1.75" cylinders like you said Greg. If it does not have the joystick it probably will not be a bargain. Some tractors have the joystick affixed to them but not the case with Jinma. Make sure its complete.
