Aliexpress loader or 870K

Hi!

Aliexpress loader looks nice and it a tad bit cheaper but is the 870K still a better buy?

the aliexpress is better. I have had no issues with mine. just weather holds me up from using it. there is no benefit from using the 870k over the aliexpress. the locking diffs and 2 speed make no difference in the dirt. I have put my alixpress through everything and never stuck and never need to go that fast that it needs another gear. save your money and get the aliexpress.

I have the Aliexpress loader. I bought mine from the Emo store. I've had it for 2 years now. It's been a fantastic machine. It see's 6-10 hours of run time every month at our club's monthly gatherings. I replaced the hydraulic valve when it arrived, as mine was leaking. other then that it has performed flawlessly! at our club's most recent meet, the hydraulic pump finally gave up. I'll be replacing the pump shortly. For the money it's a FANTASTIC loader! As Pedrcri mentioned the 870's locking diffs make zero difference in the dirt.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like the Aliexpress one is the better choice then.

I might be able to get a 870K (lightly used) for about 2200 USD (incl sound and light kit). Would you still go with the Aliexpress loader for around 2850 USD?

For me it's all about the pricing for the value! The 870K is a decent loader, & if you can get a decent used machine for less, I'd get the 870K. Just my $0.02
