I'm going to build a new house and want a backhoe around during construction. I bought a 7 ac tract and it will require a good bit of grading, ditches, water lines, footings, and will need a loader to put plywood/ stuff up to roof level. I have looked at several,ie ford 555A-case 580C-JD310A- Ford 3400-Ford 4500. I have also found a big Dyna-hoe. The Case,Fords,JD all were fairly rough, The 555 and the 310 ran and worked good,tires good. The Dyna-Hoe is in much better condition, paint,tires, overall apperance. I will be selling whichever machine, after the house is complete. My question is how much money difference would you folks think is reasonable, since the Dyna-Hoe is a " offbrand"? I have bought and sold several hoes/loaders/dozers/skidsteers ect. over the years, but have never owned a Dyna-Hoe, so don't know the price difference. I do know the if you compared the ford 555 to a ford 555 that is in the condition of the Dyna-Hoe, it would be worth 1500-2000 more than the rougher one. I also know a comparable 555 would be worth more than a Dyna-Hoe in the same condition. If I were going to keep it it woildn't make any difference, sense the old Dyna-Hoe are tough, slow machines but knowing I want to sell after the job is done how much will being "offbrand" hurt the sale of the Dyna-Hoe? Anyone have any ideas, or opinions? Thanks, Nat
