Westerndorf Loader B7100

[521]

Tossing around the idea of buying a new Westendorf loader (TA-55) for my 1994 B7100 D HST with 950 hours.

Tractor smokes a little but not bad. It's $5300 for the loader, bucket, joystick control, valve, quick disconnect, lift 7'2 height and roughly 700-800lb lifting weight. No other fabrication to fit my tractor. Essentially plug and play other then me setting up remote hydralic lines that are not there yet. Tractor has never had a FEL installed.

Is this worth is - $5300 is a lot of money for one attachment. But I only paid $3500 for the tractor 4 years ago - then it only had 400 hours. Tractor is used every week, 50% minimum per week - sometimes more. Hauling manure (hand shoveling into a dump cart), firewood (in dump cart), mowing pastures, snow removal, etc.

FEL is a super addition to a Tractor, but that's a lot of $$ for that one.
I only paid 2K (used) for my Woods loader for my L3450.

$5300.... Yikes

I paid $10,000 for my B and no way would I spend $5500 for a cab.

Not to be "that guy", but you could sell your machine, and with the 5300 buy a more equipt machine for your needs.

Where did you come up with $5500 for a cab?
