Wheel loaders and yard loaders we buy
Compact wheel loaders are among the machines we know best. On dairy farms, horse yards, at contractors and landscapers, articulated yard loaders from Weidemann and Schäffer do the daily work of feeding, mucking out and moving material. They last a long time, and even with many hours on the clock there is steady demand for them. That is why we buy them in almost any condition.
We buy Weidemann loaders across the range, from small 1140 and 1160 models to the 1370, 1380 and 1770, as well as telescopic models like the 3070 and 4070. From Schäffer we buy the 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series, including the 2028, 3345 and 4042. Zeppelin and Cat loaders such as the ZL8B, Kramer, Giant, Volvo and Liebherr wheel loaders are welcome too, as are larger loaders from contractors.
What makes a loader worth more or less
With a loader, the front end tells a lot. We look at play in the pins and bushes of the arm and the bucket linkage, at the articulation joint in the middle of the machine, and at whether the hydraulic cylinders are dry. A loader that has done years of heavy work often shows it there first. We also listen to the engine, check the drive and look at the condition of the tyres, which on a loader are an expensive part to replace.
Hours matter, but they are not the whole story. A Weidemann with 6,000 hours that has been serviced on time can be worth more than one with 3,000 hours that has been neglected. Attachments make a real difference too: a muck grab, a pallet fork, a high-tip bucket or a hydraulic quick coupler can add noticeably to the price, as can a cab with heating.

What we check on a wheel loader
| Part | What we look for | Why it affects the price |
|---|---|---|
| Loader arm and pins | Play in pins and bushes, welding repairs | Replacing pins and bushes is labour-intensive |
| Articulation joint | Play and wear in the central joint | A worn joint makes steering imprecise and is costly to repair |
| Hydraulics | Leaking cylinders, hoses, pump noise | Hydraulic repairs quickly add up |
| Engine and drive | Starting, smoke, power, hydrostatic drive | The most expensive components of the machine |
| Tyres | Tread depth and damage | A set of loader tyres is a substantial cost |
Selling your loader step by step
You start by contacting us with the form, by phone or by WhatsApp. Name, phone and email is enough. We ask about the type, year, hours and condition, and if possible you send a few photos and a short video of the loader running and lifting. Based on that we give you a price indication and explain which points determined it.
If you agree with the price, we make arrangements about payment, the purchase agreement and the handover. We buy from private sellers as well as businesses: for a business seller we work with an invoice; a private seller signs a simple purchase agreement. We can arrange transport in consultation. You are welcome to visit us in Wenum Wiesel by appointment.
Selling a loader from abroad
Weidemann and Schäffer loaders are common across Belgium, Germany and France, and we speak regularly with owners there. The order is the same: contact first, then photos and details, then a price indication. If you want to proceed, we agree the handover and the paperwork together, including how the invoice is drawn up for a sale across the border. How the loader travels is something we discuss for each case; we can arrange transport in consultation.
