A used loader is about as rare as hens teethe, everybody wants them and nobody hardly sells them. I think your going to have a real hard time finding a used loader for that large of a tractor you have. Might have to fork out some cash and get a new one...

I watch the local Craigslist and Bulletin Board, and don't think that I have ever seen a used loader for sale. Most people don't seperate them from the tractor.
I would check with Coldwatertractors.com, or if you are handy working with metal, look into making your own. North Idaho Wolfman is doing that now-

I haven't, but the search for a loader comes up every now and then, and Coldwater gets suggested. At one point, I searched this and other tractor forums for experiences with Coldwater, and what I read was favorable. I didn't find any negatives. Mind you, that is second or third hand knowledge, but sometimes that's all you have. If I were looking for a loader, I would consider them, from what I have read and seen.

Coldwater normally does smaller loaders from what I've read, but give them a shout maybe they do deal in bigger ones.

Good point. I hadn't realized that he has a larger tractor until after I had posted that. But, maybe they do make loaders for bigger tractors. You don't know if you don't ask.

Hey I got my best Implement (Snow blower) at a John Deere dealership, so looking for things in different places can be a good thing!

I'm still look I missed the one on eBay

I've seen several on ebay in the past year. Always worth a look. The problem is finding one in your area, or paying gas/freight to get it to you.
