To find low-cost Bobcat attachments, compare listings across online marketplaces (eBay, MachineryTrader, IronPlanet), local classifieds (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace), and auctions. Check rental-company and dealer-used inventories, and consider salvage yards for parts. Verify compatibility, inspect wear, and include freight or refurbishment in your budget. Choosing OEM vs. aftermarket depends on fit, warranty, and price.

Owning a Bobcat opens up a lot of possibilities because of the wide range of attachments available. You don't have to buy every attachment new from a local dealer. With a little searching you can find low prices on new and used attachments that meet your needs.

Online marketplaces and specialty sites

Large marketplaces and equipment-specific sites are often the fastest way to compare prices. Check general platforms such as eBay and Facebook Marketplace, and equipment marketplaces like MachineryTrader, EquipmentTrader, and IronPlanet. These sites list new, used, and remanufactured attachments across regions, so you can compare condition, price, and shipping options quickly.

When shopping online, read photos and descriptions carefully. Ask sellers for serial numbers, wear measurements, and proof of compatibility with your Bobcat model. Factor in shipping or freight costs for heavy items.

Local classifieds and peer-to-peer sales

Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and regional classified sites remain useful for finding nearby deals. Local sellers often prefer in-person pickup, which can eliminate freight costs. Inspect any used attachment for structural cracks, worn pins, and hydraulic hose condition before committing.

Auctions and liquidation sales

Public auctions and farm liquidation sales can yield low prices if you're willing to bid and transport equipment. National auction houses (including online bidding platforms) and county farm auctions list attachments from contractors and farms downsizing fleets. Auctions carry risk - equipment is usually sold as-is - so plan inspections and transport in advance.

Rental companies, dealers, and salvage yards

Rental companies sometimes sell retired attachments at reduced prices. Local rental yards and independent used-equipment dealers can be good sources because they typically service the gear before sale. Salvage yards and recyclers are worth checking if you need parts or heavily worn implements at low cost.

OEM vs. aftermarket and compatibility

Decide whether you need an OEM Bobcat attachment or a compatible aftermarket tool. OEM attachments maintain factory fit and often have known performance and warranty support from authorized dealers. Aftermarket attachments can be cheaper but vary in quality and fit - verify pin sizes, hydraulic couplings, and rated loads.

Tips to save

  • Buy off-season when demand is lower.
  • Bundle attachments or negotiate in-person for better pricing.
  • Check for certified used programs from dealers that include limited warranties.
  • Factor transport, mounting adapters, and refurbishment costs into the total price.
You don't have to accept the first price you see. Combining online searching, local pickup options, auctions, and rental-company sales will help you find attachments that fit your budget and your Bobcat.

FAQs about Bobcat Attachments

Are aftermarket Bobcat attachments safe to use?
Aftermarket attachments can be safe if they match your machine's pin sizes, hydraulic fittings, and rated loads. Inspect build quality, ask for specifications, and prefer sellers who provide clear measurements or warranties.
Where can I find used Bobcat attachments nearby?
Check Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, local equipment dealers, rental yards selling decommissioned inventory, and regional auction listings for nearby used attachments.
Do auctions offer good deals on attachments?
Auctions can offer low prices, but equipment is typically sold as-is. Attend previews when possible, budget for transport, and understand buyer's fees before bidding.
Should I buy from a rental company?
Rental-company sales often include well-maintained attachments retired from fleets. They can be a good balance of price and condition, but inspect the unit or request maintenance records when available.
How do I factor shipping into the total cost?
Get freight quotes early for heavy attachments. Local pickup eliminates shipping but may require a trailer and loader. Compare total landed cost (price plus transport and any repairs) before buying.
