I'm shutting down the My Power Trac site (www.mypowertrac.com) due to lack of interest.

It was originally set up, based on discussions here, as a potential opportunity for Power Trac owners to collaboratively develop more comprehensive User/Owner Manuals and Maintenance Manuals since the factory doesn't provide those.

That idea, as great as it sounds, never really took off and some of the guys who were most active there initially have actually sold their PTs...

So, I'm ending that failed experiment. I did a database backup and downloaded all the files that had been uploaded, just in case...

Thanks!

It seemed like a good idea at the time! I guess this here town ain't big enough for two PT forums.

Seriously Kent, thank you for the investment in time, money & effort.

Thanks for trying. Not every good idea works out.

Dear KenT,
If it is any consolation, it certainly helped me buy a PT.

All the best,

Peter

Thanks, guys! I'm glad it was of some value to some folks along the way. I really should've shut it down long ago but it kinda had a sentimental value after all the invested time and effort (Cognitive Dissonance??).

It was never really intended as a discussion forum to compete with this place, but more as a collaborative way to develop more "permanent" reference information such as documented procedures, checklists, etc., that could be combined into "manuals."

So much for those good intentions... :laughing:

Thanks again!

I also looked at it before i bought my PT and I appreciated what i found there. Your site and Moss' along with this forum are why i was comfortable buying a PT sight unseen.

Thanks for doing that work for our benefit.

KenT - your website also helped me decide to buy a PT. Thanks for your effort, I know how much work keeping a website can be.

I was one of your visitors too. Found it very interesting and it helped me make my decision when I purchased mower decks etc for my Gehl loader. Thanks!

KentT your website as well helped me to decide to buy a PowerTrac. It will be missed, it was a great site.

Hey KentT, I have looked at your site multiple times. I knew the content wasn't changing much, but it was useful information. Can you work with the admins and get stuff posted here so that it isn't lost in the ether?

Thanks again,

Rob :)
