The first Melroe Self Propelled Loader, M60, “complete with 9.2 HP engine” sold for $1,390 with four available attachments including a utility scoop, manure fork, rotary snow plow and sweeper. The Keller brothers received $15 royalty on each machine sale until about 1980 when the duration of the patent ended, said Joe Keller.
