Oliver 550 on my horizon?

bahmi · Jul 31, 2013

Looked at a fine 550 yesterday. 1329 hours, all new rubber, original paint, original decals. Had the Allied 380 loader in great shape on it. Bucket like new, unit never worked hard.

4k asking price, seems well worth it. Just curiously, would most of you folks retain the loader on the tractor or sell it off? I own a Bobcat 753 and technically don't need the loader. Would that be a mistake, would I find that I "wished I still had the loader"?

thanks to all

Loaders on utility tractors are very handy- but you only need one of them. 550 front end is a little light for loader work, and if I had a Bobcat loader already, I'd ditch the loader.

I'm going to take the loader off my 550, when I refurbish it, because I have a Kubota 4WD now that is much better for loader work. And the loader definitely inhibits the "handiness" of the 550.
