Used compact wheel loader availability

[XTREEC]

I’ve recently started looking for a compact wheel loader. The new ones seem too expensive but there don’t seem to be any used ones available. Anyone have any tricks they’re willing to share to find used? I got quoted over 60k for a 500 series Avant

There's a few on treetrader.com Most say to call for a price but if you keep scrolling a few are listed.

Thank you. It would be nice if they all listed their asking price. i guess there are just not a lot of used to be had.

New is still built by humans, and still can have problems, but not buying anyone else's problems.

Are tree folks ever hard on loaders?

Ha! Tree work is always gentle! Not buying headaches is nice but I can turn a wrench so it’s worth looking to me.

I sold a BMG wheel loader a few months back for 32k... They pop up every now and then. New you're definitely high 50s and up I believe.

I would say not.
Rarely using the auxiliary pump, mostly just fetching and carrying.
Panels probably get a bit of stick but mechanically and hydraulic wise it’s not too hard for them.

You forgot to mention always picking up max weight, tipping over, and shoving (ramming) pieces a little further into the truck.

I would disagree with that statement. We push our loaders very hard, they may not be pushing and pulling a lot, but they certainly are lifting! We have one old caterpillar skid loader that can lift 80% over rated capacity, and does so pretty much every day.

I searched equipment trader for a few weeks before finding my kubota r530 for a good deal. I did notice that the used market is more limited when compared to something like a skid steer or mini excavator.
