Anyone know anything about the Great Bend 220 FEL?

Good or Bad?

I have had a couple Great Bend loaders. They are very well built. I have had Koykers as well. The Great Bend have a little better fit and finish. I like there wear points/ bushings better. They are know a part of Bush Hog. The mid mount is attached at the belly and the rear axle. The mount is made out of 1" plate. The short side is they don't fit near as many models as the Koykers.

I have one on my Iseki TA210. Works well. One thing I like is the front grill guard. Great when I have to load/unload tillers and mowers. Can't smash the front of my tractor with this setup. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Got any idea what would be a good price for a new one?

E-bay has a by-it-now price of $1700 for the Model 220 for Yanmars. Seems like a a really low price for a loader, especially if they are as good as the Koykers.

That is good. I wonder if that includes the mount?

Is $1350 with mount a good price?

I guess I'll go pick it up tomorrow.

Too good. I hope the old " If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't" isn't the case.

Me too, I talked to them on the phone today. They are a reputable equipment dealer in Paducah, Ky. Everything seems to be above board. They said the mount brackets were in a separate box. I hope it's a good deal.
