Right now I am at $25.9 with two very aggressive and capable suppliers left to bid. I will only go one round-treat others like you want them to treat you or something like that...I always get that wrong and will have some 'splaining to do later :):)

Thanks!

This must be a buyer's market. The quote I got today was $25.8 with a HD bucket. $25.5 with no HD bucket.

I really will never use a back hoe. But I will constantly use the FEL.

How much does the 'two lever quick coupler' cost and is it worth anything?

MSRP is $443. If you think you might want to take your bucket off sometimes, either for mowing, to be more compact in tight spaces, or whatever ... or switch between the bucket & say pallet forks ... the quick coupler allows you to take the bucket off lickety split.

There are so many things to do with a FEL with quick coupler and extra hydraulics on the loader boom. Have a regular bucket, bucket with grapples, root grapple bucket and a set of forks for the loader.
Can pick up logs, dig up roots and move bolders with the root grapples and leave the dirt in place. The grapple bucket is good for piling brush and trash on the burn pile. Use the forks for unloading the truck or equipment trailers of heavy items and moving pallets.

Don't buy the loader without the Quick Coupler. My wife only had a 3 pin
loader for many, many years and now that she has the 2 lever QC she's
still amazed by it. She drops the bale spike and picks up the bucket in like
less than 2 minutes if you include the unlatching and latching of each. I
doubt you'll find many dealers that will have a loader in this range without QC.
