Loaders??????

[Boone]

Hi I read this pricing stuff off the Carver site. This is why I made the statement, if this is the case for trading I would be concerned.

8. Value to add for a front in loader (Different brand as tractor) that does NOT show lots of sloppy space in the arms and buckets pins, control valve levers ... $100.
9. Value to add for a front in loader (SAME brand as tractor) that does NOT show lots of sloppy space in the arms and buckets pins, control valve levers ... $1000.

cJ,

No confusion just clarity, and it was not meant to be taken seriously that's why the /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

I had a Mistubishi Beaver 18 HP 3Cyl for 2 years before the Kubota's and the aftermarket unit on that one was a bit weak, but that's what it came with when I bought it.

The Woods and other brands are good, however resale may suffer some. I also think the Carver difference of $900 is a dealers perspective, as they 1. want to sell packages, and 2. trade in values for non brand equipment probably are lower from a dealer, however I doubt that will effect the general used value in the open market by a large margin.

Of course your talking a dealers perspective on trade in versus resale to a private individual. The latter is the way I alway sell my former equipment. There seems to be a never ceasing demand for used compact tractor/loaders units. So as long as you don't abuse a unit to badly, people come readily knocking on the door.
