The real savior for Farmtrac is to get them their own category on Tractorbynet rather than just lumped in with Others. Once the tractor buying public saw that, they would immediately start buying Farmtrac!

You may be right.We tried to get that category before but not enough interest I suppose.I think Farmtrac has as large a following as some with their own category here.Highsmith said:

I vote for a Farmtrac forum, I look thru the posts in this one and see a lot of FT threads, even before the current "interest".

Better to need a Farmtrac forum and not have it than to have a Farmtrac forum and no longer need it.

Does Farmtrac actually build any tractors themselves?
Or are they all badge engineered?

That all depends how you look at it. Farmtrac NA LLC only builds loaders and backhoes in USA. The parent Company Escorts Limited of India build the 535,545,555,665,675 8065,and 8075. The compacts are built by LS cable ( the same people that build some Montana's) The 7Series models are built by Same Deutz.

Here is a 555DTC off ebay a dealer is getting rid of. He doesn't sound to optomistic. There is also a 775DTC from another dealer on there with 5 hrs listed as a demo. No mention of the warranty in that ad.
BRAND NEW TRACTOR AT A GREAT PRICE! SPECIAL SITUATION READ THE WHOLE AD!
We recently terminated our dealer agreement with the manufacturer/distributor of this tractor. They recently laid off all their employees and stopped business operation. In the mean time, the floorplan company says the invoice for this tractor is due. Rather than pay a lot of interest on this tractor while the company works out its problems, or terminates operations permanenetly (we dont know what is going on between the parties involved). I would rather sell this tractor at a huge discount and pay the floor plan company the difference to clear this tractor (I have 7 more that I will return to the factory if they reopen or liquidate if they do not). YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT RECIEVE WARRANTY SUPPORT FOR THIS TRACTOR AFTER THE SALE AND BID ACCORDINGLY.
ARTRAC COMPANY LLC, AS SELLER, WILL PERFORM OUR NORMAL PRE-DELIVERY SERVICE AND THE TRACTOR WILL BE READY TO GO AS ALL NEW TRACTORS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED BY US IN THE PAST. OTHER THAN THAT, WE MAKE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
NOW ABOUT THE TRACTOR:
This tractor has a heritage that goes back to the famous FORD tractors. the plant in India that manufactures this tractor (still in operation to the best of my knowledge) started building FORD tractors in 1969. They have continued, but obviously couldn't use the FORD name worldwide so they adopted their own. (I am avoiding using the trademark as I have terminated by dealer agreement so technically am not authorized to use thier trademarks in any marketing). The 3 cylinder engine is originally a Ford design as is the 8x2 two stick transmission.
Normally this tractor carries a 3 year limited warranty. If the company gets restructured, you may or may not recieve the benefit of this warranty, but we will prepare the paperwork and attempt to register the warranty with the company.
Please email any questions as to how this situation pertains to this tractor only. I will not be able to answer any questions from any existing owners of this brand of tractor as we really don't know anything at this point.
This is a serious auction. I am listing this tractor to sell and all sales are final. Bid to own it as the reserve is surprising low for a 50 HP 4wd tractor with a strong loader WITH SKID STEER QUICK ATTACH bucket.
ALSO INCLUDES REAR HYDUALIC REMOTES
delivery can be arranges as low as 1.00 per loaded mile if you have some time to wait to piggyback the load. faster delivery is 1.75 per loaded mile.
8% SALES TAX IS PAYABLE IF PURCHASED AND DELIVERY ACCEPTED

Artrac is a regular contributor (and a straight shooter) here on TBN. I'm sure he will appreciate the exposure.

He is being up front with respect to the warranty, it may or may not have one, and the future of Farmtrac.
A curosity question is: If the tractor is bought from a dealer that has terminated their agreement with FT, while FT is shut down looking at their options, when/if FT re-organizes and stays in business, will they honor a warranty? Hummm are they required to by law, if as has been said here, that the company has suspended sales.
