Market direction

Market analysis

Stable market

Older utility-class wheel loaders maintain a baseline value driven primarily by basic operational functionality, engine condition, and local buyer demand for farm or yard use.

Regional pricing

National estimate assumes standard transportation accessibility; actual values vary locally depending on freight costs and local agricultural or construction demand.

Hours and usage

No hours were provided for the subject machine. The single reference unit shows 25,000 hours, which is typical for a machine of this age; high hours or unknown wear significantly impacts lower-tier pricing.

Data quality

Data relies on a single asking-price comparable. Absence of subject machine hours and condition necessitates a broader range and lower confidence.

Pricing and time to sell

At $12,000

1 to 3 weeks for a quick-sale or auction-style liquidation.

At $18,000

1 to 3 months for a standard private-sale transaction.

At $24,000

3 to 6+ months for a patient retail buyer seeking a specific older utility unit.

Comparable asking prices

Active asking prices provide market context but are not confirmed sale prices.

Factors considered

  • High age (1977 model year) increases variability based on operational state.
  • Lack of specified hours and condition for the subject machine requires a wide valuation range.
  • Single asking-price comparable provides a basic market benchmark but lacks sales verification.
