Hey all, is Rascoil out there? I want to know if he got that new engine up and running!? By now, he should have a couple hundred hours on it! ;) Drop us a line Rascoil and let us know how the progress is coming.


It should be out of the shop this week, I had to wait on some parts from NC, They have been doing the best they can. I will let you know how it turns out. Will be in touch soon. Just had to change out some minor things on the motor, to match to the original set up. The motor was a match but the hook ups where not all the same. :)

Hello all:

I need your help... More specifically, I need help gathering names and contact info of Farmtrac dealers that are:

- out of business (any time from 2007 through now... )
- teetering on bankruptcy
- prime examples of "tractor loading/dumping" tactics anytime during 2007.

C'mon dealers...
Whadya waiting for? It's time to pony up the information.
Stop protecting those who are abusing you and stealing your livlihood.

Help me to help you -- by giving this situation the proper media coverage it deserves.

Rumor-mill up and running wide open. Montana working a deal with Escorts???? McCormick to merge with Montana and Sell all three rebaged tractors LG,ESCORTS,Landini?????Rodney to run the whole show. What a Deal!!!! Walmart to provide floor planning???? I think they got that wrong it's China to provide floorplanning but would rather do business in Russia with Buhler/John Deere because their ecomony is more stable and they are selling oil instead of having to buy it. FarmTrac dealers to receive foreign aid from third world countries because their government sold out to politicially correct legal companies that have no morals or ETHICS!!!!! THOSE WITH THE GOLD MAKE THE RULES.!!!! News Flash!!! US disallows foreign aid to FarmTrac dealers says it is just the Cap-it-ol-list system at work.... What time is tee time???? Darn someone forgot to charge up the golf cart quess we will just have to walk na!! to much like work!!!! Anyone seen Brownie????

ATTENTION ALL FARMTRAC DEALERS:

There's something I don't get... and I need you to help me understand it:
- Why are only a handful of dealers sharing information about what's happening?
- Do you think that keeping this a secret is going to help your cause?
Well, it's not. It will only serve to play into your opponents' hands.

Here's something to consider:
No matter what you do, there's going to be *an* ending ... and I'm going to get *a* story. No malice in that statement, just fact.

So why not ... help me to help you?

Can you say "national exposure"?
It will help your cause....
- Text*** offered dealers some semblance of a warranty because of news pressure and its subsequent byproducts.
- LewPack's Web site quickly resolved "miscommunication" because of news pressure and its subsequent byproducts.

Make sense?

Here's some of the fundamentals needed to make that happen:

Farmtrac dealers that are...
- out of business (any time from 2007 through now... )
- teetering on bankruptcy
- prime examples of "tractor loading/dumping" tactics anytime during 2007.

C'mon folks... It's time.
Time to get this thing done.
Time to help yourself.
Time to help me to help you -- and give this situation the proper media coverage it deserves.

RNFord!

I'll be on the lookout for ambigious, information-crunked envelopes.

Hopefully I don't get any from the Evil Empire (not talking about Steinbrenner or Yankees fans!) containing white powdery substance. Donning the mask and gloves right now.

Way to go RNFord. 285 dealers should be singing your praises ... while an asthmatic-sounding Vader scowls behind his (or her) oversized rubber mask.

War Good Guys (and Girls)!
Oat!

Ever since the second article I wrote about this situation, I've believed what you're eluding to...

Alluding?

I thought eluding was the other guys.

Golden Gate State,

Give it up for you. Epic smack -- and accuracy.

allude
- verb (used without object)
To refer casually or indirectly; make an allusion (usually fol. by to): He often alluded to his poverty.

elude
- verb (used with object)
To avoid or escape by speed, cleverness, trickery, etc.; evade: to elude capture.

Translated: this blogger goofed.
The turban-wearing cats who took the money En-ron were the ones who eluded.

Again, nice catch.
Thanks for keeping me sharp.

blueliner,

That was one of the word pairs that a dragon-lady English teacher beat into our heads 50 years ago. After nearly 900 dead serious posts in this thread, I thought a little lightening up might help. These guys have their reputations and life savings on the line. They deserve a break from the pressure once in a while. :)

I enjoy reading your articles, and hope your participation can help resolve this mess.

Dear Redneckford:

You are a person just right for the position of "Farmtrac Dealer" for the DeRidder, Louisiana area and I would like to offer you an "introductory and limited time offer" of nine (9) cleaned, polished, spray painted and ready to work Farmtrac tractors. :D There seems to be a slight reorganization happening with the headquarters of these fine tractors in the great state of NC, but I understand too the the headquarters is looking for a person of your substantial magnitude to work there also! ;) So, ya wanna be a dealer and join the fun?! I have trailer, truck and some diesel to get to your place-just give me the word! PS: I might need to borrow some money to get home since I haven't made a dime since Jan 18, 2008.:mad:

On a serious note friend, I enjoy your posts. You make me laugh and smile! You seem to be the type of person that would fit right in with the dealers. We all need a laugh here and there. Thank you for keeping the Farmtrac spirit alive!
