LA344

[Orange_Crush]

I live in MD and have been looking for a used LA344, but can't find any. All I find are ones included in a sale with the tractor and the sellers won't separate individually for sale. I guess that's pretty normal. Any advice where to find a used one? Any dealers that you would recommend reaching out to for great deal on a new one? I can always just have it shipped. The dealers around me all want full MSRP. Any pro tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I had a similar issue in NZ, I bought an older BX2350 without a loader, and wanted a loader. I ended up buying new. It worked out OK for me, but in reality you're often better to sell the machine you have and buy a machine with a loader. Getting a used loader is hard, and if you buy a new loader, when you come to sell people don't go "oh, that's a 2023 tractor with a 2026 loader on it", it's a 2023 tractor with loader. Loaders are also much cheaper bundled with the machine, so on the used market, a machine with a loader is cheaper than a machine without a loader + a new loader.
