Need ideas for a cheep wheel loader.

[Dangerous Dan]

Afternoon everybody. As the title says, I'm looking for a cheap wheel loader. I've spoken to a few dealers and they are quoting 21k upwards for a machine. Unfortunately our finances just wont stretch that far. The reasons for wanting a wheel loader are.....we rear calves in a barn and need a small machine to get into pens without disturbing others. Looking at something that can comfortably lift 800kg(provin bag) lift bales from a stack, move straw about and muck out. Would rather have side entry rather than skid steer through front. Another reason is children and visibility. Reason for wanting a machine? My body is really starting to struggle doing things by hand. (Pulled back shifting metal work few years ago and its never been right since).

Like i said, dealers are quoting 21k plus and they all say that second hand models are like hens teeth. What other options do i have? Really hoping you guys can help. Budget on finance would probably be £2-250 a month for now......

Theres a company advertising new everun loaders in dublin on donedeal. Nice handy sized 1 for €15000. Would that not fit ur budget plus its new. Be better than some main brand clapped out second hand 1 at 15k imho

In all honesty, ill look at everything at the minute.

If I was looking for loader I would have no hesitation in buying brand new direct from chinese manufacturer for considerably lower than s/h in uk

There are plenty of jcb 926 forklifts for sale but maybe they are too big. There are some advertised on machinery locator £10,000 ish along with plenty of poa.

You will get a good jcb 530/70 for a lot less than 21k. Great handy machine around a yard

Thanks for your input so far guys. A few of the machines mentioned are just too big for what i need. A small wheel loader is preferred or a wheeled skid steer as a 2nd option.

Skid steer is the way to go, on tracks.

Visibility round back is the problem though. I've 3 young children and as much as you can say "just keep them out of the way", we all know accidents happen. Not ruling them out completely but would prefer more all round visibility.

These things look decent in the flesh. Can usually buy them £8-9k

Understand, maybe a reversing camera would solve..??

A jcb 409 is a handy little loader , I bought one for a neighbour last year for €9000 . He’s delighted with it.

The dealer i spoke to was looking at a 408 and a 407. How much bigger is the 409?
