Loader question

[guyina4x4]

Is this too big for my 2084?
I haven't seen it in person yet, going tomorrow.
The guy who has it says, he doesn't know what it was on, who made it, or anything about it at all.

What should I be looking at/for?
It looks like it's been welded on a little?
Is there some measurements or something to go by?

Any thoughts on what it might be worth?

thanks guys

Yes, that is way, WAY too big for a GT. Super or not. The bucket and mount are a unloader style. Far too large.

I agree with Jon, it looks way to big and the way it's constructed look very heavy.

ok, I was thinking it looks pretty hefty.

you don't think it could be modified? I've got a torch and welder
he's only asking $250 for it.

Nope. It's simply too big. It's not like you just need to make an adapter, or build a mount. It's like trying to put a dump bed off a 10 wheeler on a pickup. Ain't gonna work.

If you have a torch and welder, just build a loader.

For $250 I'd go get it. Keep in mind that when you modify it you will most likely need new cylinders since they will need to be shorter.

Tim, that bucket is at least 5' wide. Might be 6'..... it's way too big. It's for like a 45hp-60hp compact tractor.

It's a great buy. Buy only if you have a tractor to put it on, or you can flip it. I sold a loader about that size last year. I got $2000 out of it.

I was thinking about building one but steel is pricy these days.

I didn't think about needing smaller cylinders
I'm still going to look at it but I'll most likely pass

thanks guys

Take a tape measure with you. That bucket looks more like 4' to me than 5', might just be the way it looks in the pics.

Heck the 4 rams are worth the $250 especially if he might consider building a loader. Keep the rams and the bucket, scrap the rest.
