I have an ARK 600 front end loader for the Powermax series of tractor. I was wondering what everyone here thought they were worth these days. I know what I paid years ago, and I've never really seen them go down in value.. It does need a couple hoses, etc, but it functioned when I bought it. It's not the prettiest thing in the world as far as cosmetics, but would make a great candidate for a restoration. I do have a new hose or two for it that I never installed. I also have the subframe and pump for it. Thoughts? I can get some pictures in the next few days.. GB :) |

I guess someone, a collector maybe that may be interested will be willing to pay a $1,000 if it’s in workable condition. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

I'd think it would be easily worth a thousand. There's not any others up for sale that I can find. They don't pop up that often either. I don't know of any other similar sized loaders for any other tractor models that would sell for a thousand. Thanks for the thoughts. I appreciate it. GB :) |

You can always put a higher price on it to see if you get someone interested. Without seeing a picture of the condition I may be on the low side. Just going by your description of condition. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Sorry guys, no pics just yet. I was just looking for a roundabout value I guess. I had bigger fish to fry today. My furnace quit. So I was diagnosing that and calling all over for parts. Finally got what I needed locally, but at a 1100% markup of what another one (same exact brand) cost me on Ebay later on.. (figured I might as well have another on hand and save $110 while I'm at it, for when it quits again) GB :) |

The powermax loaders are really not all that uncommon. The 600 tends to fetch the least $$, as it was the weaker design of the offerings. The 700 was beefed up, and the Danco's were designed with a much nicer mounting system. The Danco SV41 even allowed mower deck or mid mount sickle use, and tends to be the most desirable and hardest to find. Anyone looking for a loader and inspecting a 600 should look hard for cracks and weld repairs, as they are almost a garauntee. I still think $1500 would be easy to get for a nice condition, ready to work 600. ------------- Patterson B1*B1/B1Forklift*B10*BigTen/B1Loader*B110*B208*B206*616*Homelite T16H/T8/T7/RM7E*Landlord/Loader/Trencher*Broadmoor717*Serf525*2110*7790*Legacy XL*Twin 20*Squire9*Squire6*JCPenny 494 |
