Ok bear with me here.
A 2nd hand loader say a 434s v a newer but still 2nd hand loadall 531.
8000hrs v 3500hrs money similar enough to consider both options.
Usability aside more from a reliability stand point. Used on the pit(434 only would use contractor if bought loadall), loading mixer wagon, stacking bales and loading bales on and off trailers and muck spreader not used in many tight spaces.
Not looking at volvo or the like at the moment but I know of a well looked after jcb available atm.
Opinions welcome.
