Price on Quick Attach for 264 loader

[Tim_in_IA]

I am working on an order for the 6500 4wd with the 264 loader and I wanted the quick attach option. The dealer quoted me $4500 for this option. That seems like a lot for the small amount of parts involved. Does anyone have this, and if so, what did it cost you at the time?

Thanks!

Tim,

Franzen's can have them made in Miles for about $300.00. They are very good, I have one and love it over the factory made one. You might want to call them as I believe they might have made a mistake. You are welcome to come look at mine and see what you think of it. It is simple and works great! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Right, they did mention that they could make that attachment. I was thinking of something that would be skid steer compatible like the quick attach option on the mahindrausa website. I did confirm the price with them for the $4500 since I was so shocked by it at first. I thought this would be a good thing to do when buying so I wouldn't have a non quick attach bucket laying around. I wanted to be able to allow for a grapple or other skid attachments for the FEL.

I still think that sounds high, but I am also looking into the aftermarket quick attach systems to see what they are going for, like the Tach-All.

Might just have to wait till I need it. I don't want to do a custom job that would rule out skid attachments in the future.

Tim, the prices that you were quoted was on the whole set up...That was the loader not just the Quick tach.
When you price with Mahindra...They have a price for a standard pin loader. Then they have a price for a loader with the quick attach.
So if you ask the for the price on the standard pin loader you will see that it will little cheaper.

Thanks for the info. That was what I was thinking the difference would have to be. I think I will contact them again to get the difference between the regular loader and the quick attach loader.

I will second what Wallace said, got to be the loader with the q.a. for that price.

Got the confirmation back from the dealer. It was $300 for the quick attach upgrade from mahindra. Yeah!!! The $4500 was for the whole loader with the quick attach. $300 for a whole slew of other attachment capability, I'd say it's a bargain!

Better go for it Tim. You won't regret the tractor or the dealer!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I think I have everything figured out. Here is what I am shooting for:

6500 4WD
264/5 loader with skid steer quick attach
511 backhoe with 24" bucket

Should be sweet. Waiting till last minute to see what March financing offers are going to be.


BTW: why does the mahindra site have a 264 loader and the actual loaders at the dealer say 265?

Just put the order in! 3 weeks+ and I'll be working on a Mahindra! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
