Wow, I didn't think my message was so controversial. The part about the "Power Trac community is not worth the effort" was meant to be a true question that any business owner has to make. Can the investment in tooling and research and development be recouped in sales and profits? If Ryan's Equipment were to go through the trouble to make a PT option, how many potential customers are out there? Ryan's makes forestry equipment, does Power Trac intrude enough on that market to make it worthwhile? I just feel that any business should return customer's phone calls and I guess I was venting here which may be inappropriate. But that is just me and you can tell my age by my opinion along with my skills in driving a standard shift vehicle, operating a rotary phone and adjusting rabbit ear tv antennas.
The part about "or maybe they switched over to making respirators, toilet paper and hand sanitizer?" is due to my experience with a former neighbor, a retired machinist built a 40x40 barn in his back yard with a complete machine shop inside. In his retirement, he still somehow contracted with NASA and machined parts for the locking mechanism on the spacesuit helmets. With this in mind, I could picture many companies, although not capable of making the complete final product, diverting their efforts to contribute by making individual parts, all to combating the damage caused by the Wuhan Virus.:confused3:
