c-series don 8,708 #29 Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I paid $1500 for just the loader 15+ years ago. I put it on my C-141 8-Speed and the paint matched like they had been together since new! Edited December 1, 2023 by c-series don 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used various sizes of loader machines, years ago I worked in a paper mill and my job was moving raw material with a payloader. I have a 3010 Kubota with a bucket, now obviously the c81 can't do what the 3010 can. I've been able to get a full bucket of dirt pushing into a compost pile. Lots of weight on the back is a must and lots of common sense is a must because it's powerful enough to get in big trouble. Very hard to steer and I use low range most of time because my reflexes aren't great. The little eight screams but gets the job done and sips fuel. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,817 #31 Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I think it would be a great worker even given it's HP limitations. Real handy for moving a little fire wood, some light landscaping work, yard chores. I saw the one on FB and thought it was a little high but I only paid 2500 for this beast. Yah the seller was nuts for letting it go for that little... sorry Craig... so 22 was a fair price. Not exactly a fuel sipper tho Darbs.

That's an awesome tractor right there, my C81 has seen better days and has been abused some. Kinda the way I like them, not that I intentionally abuse it but sometimes it can't be avoided. When you acquire them beat up, might as well treat them like their accustomed. I kinda need it for that reason. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As soon as I saw this pics I said 2500 in my head. 2200 is more than fair in my book. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCW 1,295 #34 Posted December 1, 2023 An extra 200 over ten years comes out to $20 a year. You'll be kicking yourself if you miss it for so little. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody is missing anything. They're asking 2200 I'm paying 2200. They're holding it for me to come up with more cash. 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was leaning towards 2 even just to dicker Bair but yes 22 is fair. We know the loader is worth the 15 to 18 range is good so that leaves a couple of Franklin's for the tractor. Ballast box tops it off. You did good Kate. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,276 #37 Posted December 3, 2023 When the deal offered is fair or below what I was thinking, I pay the man. I show up with cash and get them when I leave the driveway and give estimate on ETA. I have had sellers give me money off without asking just because they have been low balled and no showed so many times. I am pretty much done buying unless the item up for sale has an engine I need or maybe a complete deck in good shape. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,817 #39 Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Saw another one on FB today. Bolens yes but looked real nice and in the low twos. Joe Mazur has got a nice group on FB... GT FELs. Edited December 5, 2023 by WHX?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
