Compare Apples to Apples
There are many components to consider when comparing loaders. At Westendorf we price loaders as a “complete” package price. Make sure you compare the following value added components when sourcing your new loader.
Easy On & Off: Westendorf, the original patent holder for the first all-hydraulic on and off loader, has a tried and true system with over 20 years of experience to back its performance. When we say our loader comes off, or goes on easy – it really does. All Westendorf loaders include either the Power-Mount or the Freedom-Mount style mounting system. It is the quickest and most user friendly dismount system on the market.
Quick Attach: A loader without a quick-attach system is like buying a screwdriver instead of an electric drill. All Westendorf loaders include a Quick Attach system of some type on most loader models. Value: $700-$1500
Bucket: The bucket can impact the overall price of a loader. Value: up to $1300. This is where size does matter. We don’t skimp on what really matters. Westendorf is known for their bigger, and stronger buckets. Others may skimp to achieve a lower price point by offering a small bucket, the bucket included with a Westendorf loader package (i.e. large capacity, high-capacity or bolt-on blade) is of good size and quality to match your tractor.
Hoses & Manifold: These commonly overlooked items can add several hundred dollars to a loader package.
Bucket Gauge Rod: Why would anyone sell a loader without one? It’s like a car without a speedometer. Value: $100
Mounting Brackets: Mounting brackets are included in the loader package price. Value: depends on loader size.
