I don't see where its a 'loader special' looks to me like a stripped down tractor with no 3pt or hydraulic someone stuck a loader on and it still has the row crop front end.It should be priced a lot cheaper than one with 3pt,hydraulic and a PTO that could be used to power a piece of equipment.

funny i was looking at the same tractor on their craigslist ad thinking wow priced more for a stripped down tractor, think i will pass

What you're describing is the "Loader Special" 1555. Actually looks cheap. Machinery Pete reported on one of those recently,brought something like $19,000 and it didn't look as nice as that one.

I can't see the attraction,looks like if it were built for a loader the front axle would be a whole lot stronger than a regular farm tractor.Did it have the reverser in it? My IH 464 built for a loader has a very heavy front axle and shuttle shift on the steering column.

I don't know why they called them a loader special. They were just a stripped down,cheap chore tractor made to sell cheap to livestock operations. From what I've read,there was a short supply of decent used tractors of that size at the time,so they stripped those down to sell for the price of a good used one.

I want to say there was an article about the loader specials in the HPOCA magazine a few years back. They are rare as hens teeth. Seems that most of them ended up in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas. The ones that I have actually seen had Farmhand hay loaders on them so its not like you could have used them for much more than a loader tractor anyway.

Just got to wondering in the late 60 early 70 ag took a downturn and didn't some companies make cheap tractors just to keep going .an example would be 4020 vs 4000 john deere i think oliver did the same though I don't know the number might not be this tractor was from that era ?

There's nothing special about it.
Not worth 7 grand either,..half that maybe if it would be a diesel.
Gas job,..2 1/2 grand.

I guess they were OK for raking hay,pulling wagons,things of that nature. Like owning a 77 or 88 with a mechanical lift.

It is a fairly rare tractor.

Ludens Implement thinks EVERYTHING they have is special.... I have tried dealing with them a couple of times but they are always way over priced. We had a neighbor that bought a 1555 like that brand new along with a new Farmhand F-25 loader.

I saw that tractor sell at Mecums's auction on RFD-TV. The tractor looks very good. Nice paint job. No flaws in the tractor. The same auction sold a John Deere 4020 for $25,000 and an IH-1206 for $20,000.

The one that I saw him talking about on TV was on a farm auction or dealer auction. It had faded paint and automotive type tires on the front.

If a gas burner will bring that I have a 1555 diesel with all new engine original paint 3600 hrs on tractor I will take 9500 for and everything works on it.
