Just wanted to update everyone: Yup, I sold my tractor and all attachments this morning to a super nice gentleman that was located in-state and contacted me earlier this week in response to a Craigslist posting. I've got to say I'm impressed with the demand for these incredible machines. I was contacted by several interested parties from all across the country just because of the mention I made in this thread. At the end of the day, it was shipping to far fetched places that bogged down the process. So I decided to post to Craigslist.
We posted exactly twice to Craigslist and the second posting wasn't even necessary: we were contacted within one day of the original posting (by the buyer) and had only reposted as a backup. And the funny thing is we thought it would be tough to sell what is largely an unknown brand. Clearly, there are enough people that know about PowerTrac, or do their research and find out about PowerTrac. Which is probably how I found out about it in the first place so many years ago...thanks in large part to the fantastic people in this forum. Heck, even a landscaper that visited our house a week ago said: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen these in trade magazines but I've never actually "seen" one." He was impressed. Who wouldn't be? The folks that picked up the tractor were surprised at how quickly I could load everything onto their truck and trailer....they're coming to PowerTrac after having owned a much larger tractor with a backhoe because they need more flexibility to maintain a combined 15 acres and the whole quick attach mechanism is just crazy awesome. It doesn't hurt to have access to over 40 attachments.
I want to thank everyone in this forum for just being so genuine and helpful. I may not have participated in this forum much during my ownership but I always felt that if I ever needed help this would have been the first place I'd look for it. And I emphasized to the new owners that they too should come here and join the family.
Keep doing what you're doing everyone. Thanks 1000 times.
