Buying Advice Satoh 650G - Front Loader

billveon · Aug 26, 2011

I am currently looking at a Satoh 650G to purchase, it does not have a front loader but I would want one. Can any one help me by telling me some front loaders that would fit this tractor.
Thanks, Bill

Not to be discouraging, but you will probably end up paying as much or more for the FEL as you will for the tractor. That's what I found when I was going to add one to my Mitsubishi D2000. Keep checking craigslist (or whatever ads are popular in your area), I see a few 18 to 24 horsepower 2 and 4wd diesel CUTS with loader in the 4k to 6k range. That's from a private party. Dealers will want 2 to 3k more , but they usually will offer a warranty, financing, and service, not to mention most good dealers will go over the machine before they offer it for sale.
