Opinions on value of my 544 Hydro

Dave from MN · May 14, 2009

I love the tractor, but with going totally away from small squares, and doing mostly row crops with bigger machineryI am seriously considering selling my 544.It is a 1970 544 hydro, row crop diesel. Wide front, 3 point, new 14.9x38's. 4600 hours. Has IH 2001 loader with dirt/manure bucket and snow bucket and has new paing and decals, also the big bucket cylinder has been rebuilt within the last 3 years.Rebuilt starter. Strong hydro, will stall engine under extreme load, hydro does not slip! Tractor was painted in '04 but will be repainting hood and fenders due to some cracking and peeling. I tried searching tractor house and iron search and could find no 544's with the sme set up as mine so I am asking some opinions if I decide to sell this summer. Tractor runs great and starts pretty decent in MN winter weather if plugged in.

Sounds like a handy loader tractor to me. Somewhere in the $7000 range?

Dad was offered $10,000 for our 544 gas with the shuttle transmission and loader - told the guy to take a hike because it would take $25k to replace it with something similar.

I'd say yours is worth a minimum of $7,000 - maybe up to $12k if you found the right buyer... just my opinion.

I could use a good loader trac - shoot me an e-mail.

I had a 2001 loader briefly. It had single acting boom cylinders. Kind of a deduct to the value so far as I'm concerned. Sounds like a very nice tractor with a so-so loader attached.

This one is has dual way cylinders, and hydrualic bucket. No oil leaks and the loader is very strong stable. I have seen some pretty cheap looking 2001's myself.
