Neat PowerTrac-6x6

[ToolcatWonka5610]

Hi everyone, yes I'm still around.

I found this Power Trac 6x6 ATV unit, and its pretty dang neat!
I'm not sure if its something PT made or someone else made, the seller makes it sound like its built by PT. It uses an 18hp engine, and a 180 or 422 frame.

It's in ebay under Power Trac, you'll see, it. Check it out, its really neat.
I want it!

Reviews have been generally poor of this particular machine. Prone to leaking and overheating. But not too many owners so ymmv

Go to e bay and search for this:

"JOHN DEERE GATOR type pt6X6 power-trac"

It is not the hunt vee that Power Trac manufactures.

crazy looking machine. I wonder why PT stopped manufacturing it, or if it comes from the mining division.

Looks to be 2 wheel drive. If it wasn't I might consider a bid on it... Save not buying a quad.. Although it is probably slow as heck. And no dump on the trailer....

Good find Willie

Yeah. Kind of neat bug to have crawling around on the property. If it dumped it would be really handy. Maybe put a crane on it to self load firewood logs?

If it's 2-wheel drive, the 6X6 name is wrong. If it has wheel motors on the rear, it could be a neat machine -- it the wheel motors have enough torque to handle steep slopes.

As the Q&A states, it had an optional "bed-liner" that dumped.

Interesting machine, none-the-less...

Good point. It would only be a 6 x 2 or 2 x 6 or some other kind of rectangular lumber!

Looking at the picture of the bed, it does not look like there are wheel motor wells back there anywhere. And I don't see any hoses going that direction.

Someone with an e-bay account should log on and ask him more questions.

I asked the the seller and they said "ALL SIX WHEELS DRIVE".
On the wheel motors for the back, I don't see lines either, but there could be space for them (if they were short) behind the tires.
Perhaps I will take a juant out that way on Sat and take a look at it... Or ask for pix...

That would be cool. Hope the weather is nice.

They had one at the factory when I visited in '07. For some reason, I had the impression it was a special order. It was rigged up with a 500 gallon water tank in the back bed. Pretty slick fire truck, or sprayer.

All the best,

I have an original brochure from way back. and it says Independent wheel units in each wheel. It weighs 1100 lbs. 10 ft / 6 in long, Bed 42 x 72, 9 in ground clearance. 8 gal fuel tank, 0 to 10 mph. It had option for a dump bed.

I wonder if it has solid lines under the bed to the wheels or something? Neat unit. Wonder why they stopped making them.

Who knows, probably didn't sell to many.

Heck I'd like to have just for around the house!

It'd be cool to see that in a winter snow plow package (Plow, salt spreader, maybe a weather enclosure)

JJ, does it say what configurations where avaliable like Gas or Diesel?
Did they have any other attachments for it?

Yeah, I'd take that thing over a four wheeler any day!

Thanks, Carl. I found it in my regular search for a PT around here that I could go see (still nothing)

FWIW, you might want to have a good look at the hyd pump, etc. From the pic it looks like the hyd oil filter hasn't been changed in a looooong time. Might make a nice personnel carrier...Hours?

Funny, I saw it yesterday too. I was just about to ask about it, guess ya'll beat me to it. It's not a bad looking machine. And las I checked, It was only $800 something. Don't ssound like a bad deal.
