Whats a fair price to pay when buying a bull?
Again it varies and you don’t always get what you pay for. El Toro upgraded their machine to provide a variable buck and spin and sold them for about $8500. I’ve heard some vendors are asking upwards of $20,000. Most nice ones have real bull hide covers. Of course fully variable buck and spin speed is a MUST for safety. Some makers will sell them with a head and other “upsells”. Having a head on the bull increases greatly the risk of injury and frankly most of them just look plain stupid. Machines with a motor horsepower of 15HP or more may have trouble getting insured in the future, or so I’ve been told by good sources. The old El Toro’s are out there for anywhere form $500-$10,000. Keep in mind their limitations as discussed above. Those will not be suited to making any real money as a vendor.
