Front loader availability and price?

[rlee6]

I am going to a local auction. If I find one with loader, that's good. If not, can I expect to be able to buy a matching loader, whatever the brand may be? I am looking for 30-40 hp range. Is $2.5-3K a good estimate? Thanks.

I typically tell people 4-5k depending on hydraulic options currently on the tractor. You may be able to get a loader for 3k or so on a mid framed tractor...if you go into the 40hp range however you will probably be in the large frame series and with that the cost typically goes up. Whichever size you get..ask you local dealer about Bush Hog loaders. I use them on alot of the customer tractors that come thru the shop here. Good shopping.

Thanks a lot. I can use that figure to set my bid limit on loader-less tractors.
