I have a 2008 Takeuchi TL150 enclosed cab heat/ac 4 in 1 bucket and forks. just over 200 hours. Thinking of selling it. I use it to do side work, but just don't have time to use it lately. Just wondering what I should ask for it. I looked on machinery trader but really didn't find a machine that had all the options I have?

I have the 130 size but in a 08 Mustang and it will not sell, hope you have better luck. Check out what the local dealers, MachineryTrader and IronPlanet.

I checked machinery trader. looks like $45,000ish. I have a potential buyer, just have to come up with a realistic price. How much are you asking for your mustang?

I bought a 07 Mustang, same size as the Tak 150, 9 months ago. It had 300 hours, cab with AC, excellent condition, delivered to my business for $26,000. I could have bout a 140 with 400 hours for $22,000.

I'm gonna say you got a great deal. If mine is only worth $27,000 I would just keep it. Title in hand so I have no worries. Just don't have time you use it with my real job being so busy. I hope its worth more

I wish not having time was the reason I'm not using mine. I bought it, then had a bad encounter with a doctor. I've used a walker since Jan 6th and up till three weeks ago the prognosis was I would never even be able to run a lawn mower again.

I had a good encounter with a new doc in August, and I'm proceeding with cautious optamism. I hope to be able to run it next year.

I guess anything above $40,000. If I can get that I would rather keep it. Even if I only make a $1000 a month with it, I'd rather do that than $30,000 hit in 2 years.


sorry to hear about your health situation. Good luck on your recovery

Wish they were that cheap in Oz they run around $110k new and used with around 2000hrs they still fetch $55-65k nice machine though. My N/H C175 cost $83k new and with 1100hrs is only worth around $45k thats just how it is over here. might have to buy one there and ship it over, good excuse for a holiday to come over clean and box it up.

I think that's a great deal, but I cringe as an equipment owner. :)

Why are they so much? I wouldn't think shipping would be that much? At those prices I'd put all my stuff in shipping containers and send them to you. ;)

Quarantine is the big issue here the machines have to be like new clean to pass inspection.I priced up a Case 440ct last week loaded with A/C heat R/C H/flow etc $107K plus 10% taxes. How our rates compare to you guys?? I roll up on site with Tandem tipper Tag trailer TB145 Tak Exc and C175 CTL and get $110 per/hr. Breaker, auger drive, Slasher, broom, Harley rake I charge $27.50 on top of hourly rate. When bidding work I work on $1000 per 8hr day plus materials, labour hire etc.

I charge $100 an hr. 3 hr minimum. I'll do $700 for a 8 hr day so the clients feel like they're getting a break. I can get the work, just can't free up the time trying to do it on the side. very frustrating!!!
