New Holland LX565 skidloader value

jacksonduper · Mar 14, 2012

I have a LX 565 skidloader that I want to sell in the near future to buy a bigger machine but I don't know what a fair price would be for it. It is a high hour machine but I feel it is still servicable but needs some work. I'm looking for any input. I know it is hard to say but give me a ballpark.
9000+ hours on meter (I put on 2000)
-has a few leaks
-started hard this winter (needed a little ether)
-starter doesn't always engage (spins but doesn't engage wheel)
-engine is dirty as I had a hydraulic line break this winter.
-new fan belt
-new exhaust manifold
-would come with one bucket that has been welded but is servicable.

Tires have some life in them but a have 2000 hours on them

I have attached a photo for you to look at. Thanks for any help in advance.

Guess it would depend on how tight the boom and bucket pins are... how good the hydro and motors are.
This idea that it may need a starter or ring gear, mabey glow plugs... or an engine... does not sound good.
I guess you could put it this way. I see LS series loaders here with half the hours in decent working order for under 10K. If I was looking I think I'd be around 3K knowing what you state. You might get 5K. Who knows. If the boom, pumps and whatnot are all tight and I though a set of glow plugs would fix it... I'd be more willing to gamble.
If you get 2K hours from a set of tires it's not been worked too hard...
I get 5-800 from most of mine on an LS170.

It was not worked hard when I had it because it was used mostly to stack and feed hay bales and to clean maure. I was told that it was used to push feed prior to me soo those hours should have been easy as well.

Thanks for the info as that is what I thought it was worth but wanted some ideas.
