How Much Does a Used Compact Track Loader Cost? Real Prices from PA Dealers (2026)

Ask ten people how much a used compact track loader costs and you will get ten answers, most of them a national average from a price guide. Pennsylvania dealer listings tell a more useful story. On November 10, 2026, the cheapest used track loader listed by a PA dealer on Heavy Listing was $22,500 and the most expensive was $78,900, and the Bobcat T770s alone ran from $25,000 to $64,900. So we took all 50 used compact track loaders (CTLs) for sale from Pennsylvania dealers on the site and worked out real used compact track loader prices by age, hours, brand, size and dealer, with listings you can click and a quick way to tell whether the CTL price in front of you is fair.

Where these numbers come from

Every price in this guide is an asking price on Heavy Listing from one of two Pennsylvania dealers that had track loaders in stock that day:

• Kurtz Trading in Littlestown, Adams County: 34 machines.
• Keystone Equipment Sales & Service in New Castle, Lawrence County: 16 machines.

Read the numbers with three caveats in mind:

• Asking prices, not sale prices. What a machine finally sells for is often lower. Use these figures as the start of a negotiation.
• Hours are dealer-reported. Keystone lists hours in round numbers (60, 400, 800, 1,600), so treat them as the dealer’s figure and read the meter yourself.
• One hour reading is being confirmed. A 2023 Bobcat T770 counts in the price tables but not in the hours table, and we do not use it as an example until its hours are confirmed.

Old Forge Power Equipment and Five Star Equipment had no track loaders listed that day. For who sells what across the state, see our guide to used heavy equipment dealers in Pennsylvania.

Used compact track loader prices by age

Half of the 50 machines are 2020 or newer, and only one is older than 2013. Here is how model year lines up with the asking price:

Model year	Machines	Median price	Range
2024 to 2025	3	$75,500	$49,500 to $78,900
2022 to 2023	10	$53,700	$28,500 to $67,900
2018 to 2021	19	$35,500	$22,500 to $67,900
2013 to 2017	17	$34,500	$22,500 to $47,900
2012 and older	1	$29,900	One machine

Look at the middle rows: a 2013 to 2017 machine and a 2018 to 2021 machine have almost the same median, $34,500 against $35,500, and the ranges overlap almost completely. A 2022 Caterpillar 249D3 with 2,382 hours is listed at $28,500, less than a 2009 Takeuchi TL140 with 1,300 hours at $29,900. Model year gets you in the right neighborhood. Hours and size decide the price.

How hours change the price of a used CTL

Here are the 49 machines with a reliable hour reading, grouped by hours:

Hours	Machines	Median price	Range
Under 1,000	7	$64,900	$34,500 to $78,900
1,000 to 1,999	15	$45,500	$24,500 to $67,900
2,000 to 2,999	19	$34,500	$24,500 to $57,900
3,000 and up	8	$34,500	$22,500 to $39,500

Most of the drop happens in the first 2,000 hours. Going from under 1,000 hours to the 1,000 to 1,999 band takes about $19,000 off the median, and the next band another $11,000. After 2,000 hours the median stops falling, but the ceiling does: nothing with 3,000 hours or more is listed above $39,500.

Hours also need to be read against age. Our study of how many hours is a lot on heavy equipment found the typical used track loader runs about 280 hours a year. A 5-year-old machine with 1,400 hours is normal. The same machine with 3,500 hours has worked about twice as hard as most.

Prices by brand

Bobcat makes up 20 of the 50 listings. Kubota, Caterpillar and Takeuchi follow.

Brand	Machines	Median price	Range	Model years
Bobcat	20	$41,000	$22,500 to $78,900	2015 to 2025
Kubota	7	$42,500	$22,500 to $67,900	2014 to 2024
Caterpillar	6	$34,700	$28,500 to $39,500	2015 to 2022
Takeuchi	6	$29,700	$24,500 to $57,900	2009 to 2022
Case	4	$34,500	$24,500 to $45,500	2014 to 2023
John Deere	4	$32,000	$27,500 to $67,900	2015 to 2023
JCB	3	$59,900	$54,900 to $67,900	2021 to 2022

This does not mean JCB costs the most and Takeuchi the least. The three JCBs are 2021 and 2022 machines listed with 800 hours or less, so their median says more about their age than their badge. Five of the six Caterpillars sit in a tight $33,500 to $39,500 band, but they range from 1,800 to 3,700 hours. Brand is a tiebreaker. Compare the year, hours and size first.

Size matters more than brand: Bobcat’s lineup as an example

A track loader’s frame size sets its lifting capacity, horsepower and price. Bobcat’s own buyer’s guide puts it simply: small-frame models have lower rated operating capacities (ROC) for lighter tasks, larger frames have higher ROCs for heavy work. Since Bobcat is the biggest group in our sample, here is how its model series compare:

Bobcat series	Machines listed	Median price	Current spec, one model (bobcat.com)
T5xx (T550, T590, T595)	4	$34,500	T595: 70 hp, 2,100 lb ROC
T6xx (T650)	4	$61,700	T650: 74 hp, 2,500 lb ROC
T7xx (T740, T770)	10	$44,000	T770: 92 hp, 3,475 lb ROC
T8xx (T870)	2	$39,500 and $62,900	Not in the current Classic line

Specs from the Bobcat compact track loader lineup on November 10, 2026. Older model years may differ.

The T6xx median is high only because two of its four machines are 2025 T650s with 60 hours. Leave those out and the T7xx series is where the money is: the T770 is the most common track loader in our sample, and its roughly 1,400 lb of extra capacity over a T595 is part of why a 2017 T770 lists for more than a 2018 T590.

One more thing if you are cross-shopping a wheeled machine. Bobcat’s guide notes that ROC is typically 35% of tipping load for a track loader and 50% for a skid steer, so a CTL with the same ROC as a skid steer is usually the more capable machine. Our skid steer vs compact track loader comparison works through this with real spec sheets.

What can you buy at each budget?

Asking price	Machines	What you typically get
Under $25,000	5	2013 to 2018 models, mostly 2,100 to 3,900 hours
$25,000 to $34,999	18	The widest choice: mostly 2014 to 2019 machines, plus six 2020 to 2022 units, five of them with 2,000+ hours
$35,000 to $49,999	16	Mostly 2017 to 2021 machines, 13 of 16 under 2,500 hours
$50,000 and up	11	2021 and newer, plus a 2018 Bobcat T870 with 1,600 hours

• Under $25,000: five machines. Two are listed at $22,500: a 2018 Bobcat T740 with 3,008 hours and a 2017 Kubota SVL95-2 with 3,910 hours. Budget for tracks and an inspection.
• $25,000 to $35,000: the sweet spot if you need a working machine, not a new-looking one. This is also where several 2021 and 2022 small frames with average hours land.
• $35,000 to $50,000: a T770-class machine from 2017 to 2021 with under 2,500 hours.
• $50,000 and up: nearly new. At the top, two 2025 Bobcat T650s with 60 hours are listed at $75,500 and $78,900.

Two dealers, two different inventories

The median Keystone listing is $58,900; the median Kurtz listing is $34,500. That gap is about what each dealer stocks, not one being expensive and the other cheap:

• Keystone (16 machines) sells a younger fleet: 10 of its 16 are 2021 or newer, with a median of 1,300 listed hours. It also has the three JCBs and the two 2025 T650s.
• Kurtz (34 machines) has a deeper, older mix: 17 are 2018 or older, with a median of about 2,360 hours. That is where most of the $22,500 to $35,000 machines are.

Even among 2021 to 2023 machines, most of Keystone’s show 1,600 hours or less and most of Kurtz’s show 2,000 or more. Want a late-model, low-hour machine? Start at Keystone. Want the most machine for $30,000 to $40,000? Kurtz has more choice.

Same model, different price: what the listings show

Seven Bobcat T770s, from $25,000 to $64,900

An eighth T770, a 2023 whose hours are being confirmed, is left out.

Year	Hours	Asking price	Dealer
2015	2,665	$25,000	Kurtz Trading
2017	2,491	$42,500	Kurtz Trading
2017	1,960	$45,500	Kurtz Trading
2018	3,389	$37,500	Kurtz Trading
2020	1,959	$47,500	Kurtz Trading
2021	1,694	$49,500	Kurtz Trading
2022	900	$64,900	Keystone

From 2017 to 2021, the T770s with around 2,000 hours sit between $42,500 and $49,500, and the 2018 with 3,389 hours drops to $37,500. That is a clean, hours-driven ladder. The value pick is the 2015 at $25,000: only 174 hours more than the $42,500 2017 machine, yet $17,500 cheaper. Age, track wear, cab and options all move T770 prices, so ask the dealer what the price includes and inspect it like any other machine. If it checks out, it is one of the cheapest ways into a large-frame Bobcat in the state.

Four Bobcat T650s: the depreciation curve of one model

Keystone lists four T650s: a 2015 with 2,400 hours at $29,900, a 2017 with 1,800 hours at $47,900, and two 2025s with 60 hours at $75,500 and $78,900. Two nearly new machines $3,400 apart means options: check the spec sheet of each before you assume they are the same.

Three Kubota SVL97-2s: the newest is the cheapest

A 2023 with 1,000 hours is $67,900, another 2023 with 2,066 hours is $52,500, and a 2024 with 2,006 hours is $49,500. On late-model machines, about 1,000 extra hours moved the price more than a model year did.

Three John Deere 333Gs, and one surprise

A 2023 with 1,600 hours is $67,900. A 2019 with 3,945 hours is $34,500. And a 2021 with 1,785 hours is $29,500, cheaper than the older, harder-worked 2019. For a buyer who wants a newer, lower-hour 333G on a budget, that one stands out. As with any used machine, ask for the service records and inspect the tracks and undercarriage before you buy.

The undercarriage: the cost hiding behind the price

Worn tracks and rollers can be one of the biggest repair bills a track loader will ever have, and it lands on whoever owns the machine when they wear out. That is a big reason two CTLs of the same year and hours can be thousands of dollars apart. Before you agree on a price, look at:

• Track condition: tread depth, cracks across the lugs, and steel cords showing through the rubber.
• Sprocket teeth: hooked or pointed teeth mean the sprocket is worn.
• Rollers and idlers: oil leaks, flat spots, or rollers that do not turn.

Then ask the dealer for a price on a replacement set of tracks for that exact model, and subtract it from the asking price if the tracks are close to done. Our used excavator inspection checklist covers rubber and steel undercarriages in more detail, and most of it applies to track loaders too.

What else moves the price of a used track loader

1. Cab: an enclosed cab with heat and air is worth real money on a Pennsylvania jobsite in January or July.
2. High-flow hydraulics: needed for mulchers, cold planers and some trenchers. A buyer who runs those will pay more; one who does not should not.
3. Controls and travel: joystick controls and two-speed travel are upgrades buyers look for.
4. Attachments and records: a grapple or forks add value only if you will use them; a service history always does.
5. Where it worked: rental fleet, landscaper, demolition contractor or farm. The same hours mean different wear.

Dealer price vs auction price: compare the full cost

Auction results often look cheaper than dealer asking prices, but at auction you add a buyer’s premium, sometimes an online bidding fee, and sales tax on the total. Our guide to what a buyer’s premium really costs shows the math, and the auction calendar lists upcoming sales in and around Pennsylvania.

Tax applies either way. The Pennsylvania sales tax rate is 6%, plus 1% in Allegheny County and 2% in Philadelphia. Our guide to PA sales tax on heavy equipment covers exemptions, including farm use.

Example (illustrative numbers, not a specific sale):

❌ Wrong: “A T770 went for $38,000 at auction, so the dealer’s $42,500 is way too high.”

✅ Right: “With a 10% buyer’s premium and 6% tax, the $38,000 hammer price is about $44,300 out the door, as is, with no chance to run it first. The dealer’s $42,500 plus tax is about $45,050, and I can inspect it and negotiate.”

How to tell if a used CTL is fairly priced

• ✓ Find its row in the hours table above. Under 2,000 hours, each extra 1,000 hours should cost the seller real money.
• ✓ Work out hours per year. Well above 460 a year is a hard-working machine.
• ✓ Price in tracks, rollers and sprockets if they are worn.
• ✓ When a machine is priced well below similar ones, like the 2015 T770 or the 2021 333G above, ask what drives the price and check the service records. It may simply be a good deal.
• ☐ Run it cold, or ask the dealer for a cold-start video, before you agree on a price.

Common mistakes when comparing track loader prices

Comparing a small frame with a large one

A $34,500 Bobcat T590 and a $45,500 T770 are not the same machine at different prices. The T770 is the larger, more powerful machine. Compare within a size class.

Taking the hours at face value

Round numbers, a missing reading, or the same reading on two machines are reasons to look at the meter yourself and check the wear against it.

Judging a CTL against wheeled skid steer prices

Track loaders sell for more. On our used skid steer price data, the median wheeled machine was about $10,000 below the median CTL. If you mostly work on concrete and gravel, a wheeled machine may be the better buy.

These are some of the newest track loader listings on Heavy Listing, straight from the dealers:

The bottom line on used compact track loader prices

Used compact track loader prices from Pennsylvania dealers center on the high $30,000s: the median was $37,200. In practice:

• Under $25,000 buys an older or high-hour machine. Budget for tracks.
• $25,000 to $35,000 is the widest choice, mostly machines from 2014 to 2019.
• A T770-class machine with under 2,000 hours typically lists from the mid $40,000s.
• Under 1,000 hours, the median is $64,900.

Check the hours, look hard at the undercarriage, and ask the dealer what explains the number. Pricing other machines too? See our breakdowns of used excavator prices and used wheel loader prices.
