This is just an idea and I have not contacted PT about this!!
BUT,
I would be interested in going to PT headquarters and staying for a 1-3 day hands on/in depth workshop covering all the components of my machine and how to fix stuff in general.

Concept would be a deep dive on all the different hydraulic systems, what each system does, things to watch out for, wiring diagram details, information on motor maintenance (how to change timing belts, injectors, etc), hoses, how to rebuild cylindars, etc.

Would be a way PT owners could meet and greet in person and buy parts on the spot from PT. Possibly even bring in machines or parts like cylinders that need to be rebuilt. Could diagnose and even do repairs on people's stuff as real world examples for the workshop.

Anybody else interested in a get together/workshops?

I threw out a trac-in idea a while back. Can host on my farm which is also a campground. Other lodging nearby.

Well received but No takers... To little time, too much distance.

Always a possibility though.

A few years ago I might have done that. However, my job was outsourced and I had to take a new job. Haven't built up enough vacation time yet. The few weeks I get we spend with family/children, not that you folks aren't fun to hang around with, of course. ;)

Suggest that PT offer 20% off during show. Maybe that will entice some attendance? I would have a 12 hour drive one way, some through New York City which may have the highway shut down.
