Trojan/yale wheelloaders

[Mike Fronczak]

Is anyone using these? They were built in our area (don't know if they still are). I see a bunch of the around used & prices are reasonable, don't know about parts avaliablity either? Any thoughts?

wow I never hear those names any more i don't remember when they stoped making but it has to be well over10-15 years . I bet parts are hard to come buy for them engine s they used detroit's or cummins but not sure

[Mike Fronczak]

It appears they used both engines, apparently went out of business in 1992. They are for sale all over (80's & early 90's models), was wondering why, probably parts avalability.

The old Trojan loaders were a reliable machine in it's hay-day and I believe Ehrbar Inc in NYC is still in business and has the parts. They were a dealer for Trojan

I have 2 of the last model of Trojans made. A 1500z and a 1900z, they have deutz motors, one has a zf transmission and one has a funk I think. Both loaders start up with no ether, not being plugged in right away on every cylinder. Nice machines, easy to get parts for. I spent some money on the 1900 because it was an old city machine and needed some work. But I paid $12,000 for it and put maybe $8,000 into it. I use those 2 machines strictly for snow, unless a loader goes down and we need it on a job.
