Yeah, they're pricey. Biggest issue is whether your tractor already has a loader valve or not??? Being an SUD, I'm guessing not?? Anyway, that adds a lot to the price and to the technical knowledge required to install.
If you are mechanically inclined you can install yourself and save a lot of money. Even if the tractor doesn't have the valve already, there's enough technical knowledge on this website to lead you thru the install process.
If buying a loader you need to know your needs first, i.e., whether you already have the valve assembly.
I'm gonna gues the bottom end cost if you haul it home and your tractor already has the valve is gonna be $3500.
Thanks ovrszd....just the kind of info I was looking for. The sales contract description indicates 4WD tractor w/foldable ROP. There are no controls for a loader. I'll poke around TBN some to see what's involved with installing the FEL hydraulics.
the 1154 loader for that tractor is $6000 or over installed.now it could be more to set the tractor up for a fel.we boughyt a new tractor that dont have the fel.but its setup fopr the loader.an they say that cost $2000 or a little more.
