NorTrac 50XT

[Covered Bridge]

A friend wants to sell his 2011 NorTrac 50 XT tractor with frontend loader and backhoe attachment. It has been sitting outside unused for several years. He recently had repairs done to fix the ignition switch and a fuel leak, and now has it parked in his barn. I understand that this tractor is not made any more. Questions: 1) Are parts difficult to get? 2) What is a fair price? 3) Has anyone experienced problems with this tractor? 4) Has anyone had good experience with this tractor? 5) Should I pursue buying this or forget it?

5. If this is the tractor that was sold by Northern Tool & Equipment, I believe it is a china made tractor and if that's the case I would stay as far away from it as you can. Good luck.

For awhile I looked at nortrac rebrand tractors and dozers forgot who originally made them remember reading about various problems with them including getting them serviced, there's probably a few good reasons northern tool got out of the new tractor business. Imo buyer beware.
