Default 870k loader or ??

I've been looking into buying a loader to add to my construction equipment. I have contacted tang from eagle and got pricing on the 870k loader with the exchange rate the way it is it'll be little over 5000 canadian by the time it's here. I was wondering is there alternatives to the eagle machine? I know it will cost more but I'd be willing to pay extra for quality and less down time.

The german Wedico CAT966 is the next step up. It comes as a painted kit, no radio or other electronics incl. (Can get one for about 6400-6800 CAD incl shipping from Europe)

So it has come to my attention that a graupner 574 loader. It's a original not a bruder conversion. I don't know much about it was wondering if anyone had some information about them.

I did a search on this forum for the wa500, only one person posted a build thread on it from germany. Maybe one other person has one. It does look great. I'm thinking of adding one to compliment my pc700. Any other info on the wa500?

1/16 scale based off Bruder's FED just like Magom's. It's not a heavy model, so it's best suited to play with lighter materials.

good choice on the 870k. I have had mine for a few months and this machine is always ready to get the job done. I would recommend this peice for anyone who may be interested in a loader.
