As spring approaches, the agricultural and construction sectors are ramping up activity. At Catalyst Communications, Hot Line Farm and Antique Monthly Update, we provide valuable insights into auction trends to help buyers make informed equipment investments.

Since their introduction in the late 1950s, skid steer loaders have revolutionized material handling with their compact design and versatility. Advancements in hydraulics, lift capacity, and attachments have made them indispensable in agriculture and construction. With high demand for tasks ranging from material handling to landscaping, monitoring auction trends is essential for those considering equipment investments.

The following are recent skid steer loader sales at auctions across the United States:

• MUSTANG 342 OMC( 2011 – 2021 models) sold in Pennsylvania for $ 14,200 –$ 37,200, with newer units securing the highest bids.

• KUBOTA SVL75-2 units sold in Georgia and Pennsylvania for $ 25,500 –$ 55,500, with newer models commanding top prices.

• John Deere 325G loaders sold in Georgia for $ 21,000 –$ 40,100, with 2021 low-hour models bringing around $ 40,000.

• CAT 259D3 units sold across multiple states for $ 9,000 –$ 52,000, with 2022 – 2023 models exceeding $ 50,000, while older, high-hour units sold for less.

These figures highlight strong demand for late-model, low-hour skid steer loaders, with newer models commanding premium prices. Buyers seeking cost-effective options should closely monitor auction trends to make strategic purchasing decisions.
